The '''Trueblade''' (Japanese: <ruby><rb>{{hover|剣聖|Kensei}}</rb><rt>{{hover|ソードエスカトス|Sōdo esukatosu}}</rt></ruby> ''Sword Eschatos'') is an advanced [[sword]]-using [[class]] which debuted in {{FE10}}. It is a rare [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier promoted class]] and the final stage of the [[Myrmidon]] class, promoting from the [[Swordmaster]] class.

Being an advanced Swordmaster, the Trueblade continues the Myrmidon line's traditional stat build and takes it to its extreme conclusion. While their raw damage output is lower than the average due to their lesser [[strength]], their [[Skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]] are immense and among the highest of any class, giving them great [[Hit rate|accuracy]] and a very high chance of [[Attack speed|double-attacking]] their foes and making them very efficient fighters. As a result of their high skill and their possession of a skill which grants them a significant critical bonus, Trueblades also inflict [[critical hit]]s very frequently. They also make near-exclusive use of the iconic [[Astra (skill)|Astra]] skill, allowing them to land five consecutive blows on their target when the skill activates.  

However, Trueblades are held back by their frailty, as their [[HP|maximum HP]], [[defense]] and [[resistance]] are all fairly low compared to other infantry classes. In addition, their sword-exclusive nature greatly limits their options for [[Range|long-range]] attack. As with Swordmasters, Trueblades are most effective when their faults are mitigated through tactical use of [[terrain]] benefits to bolster their defenses and increase their [[avoid]].

*Outside of ''Radiant Dawn'', "[[Sword Saint (disambiguation)|sword saint]]" (the class's Japanese name) was a title held by numerous other characters: [[Od]] from the backstory of {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}}, [[Karel]] and [[Fir]] from {{title|The Binding Blade}}, [[Guy]] from {{FE7}} and [[Yen'fay]] in the Japanese version of {{title|Awakening}}.

|jap-mean=Officially romanized as '''Sword Eschatos''' in {{Title|Radiant Dawn}}; literally translates as "sword saint". In ''Radiant Dawn'', all Japanese class names are spelled primarily in kanji (i.e. {{hover|剣聖|Kensei}}), with a foreign-language name in katakana applied as [[wikipedia:Furigana|furigana]] (i.e. {{hover|ソードエスカトス|Sōdo esukatosu}}) and used as the basis for the romanized name in the class roll.<br>In feudal Japanese culture, ''kensei'' ({{hover|剣聖|Kensei}}) was a title given to a [[Myrmidon|swordfighter]] ({{hover|剣士|Kenshi}}) of legendary skill. It is even higher in prestige than the title ''[[Swordmaster|kengō]]'' ({{hover|剣豪|kengō}}), which was bestowed upon great swordfighters.<br>The ''Radiant Dawn'' furigana/romanized name, Sword Eschatos, is taken from the Greek έσχατος ''eskhatos'', "furthest" or "extreme", implying the class is the "greatest swordsman".
