Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

The Wind Sword (Japanese: かぜの剣 Wind Sword) is a sword introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It is one of a number of magic swords present in the series: it functions as a normal sword, fuelled by the wielder's strength and targeting the enemy's defense, when attacking directly at 1 range, but can also be used to cast wind spells to attack enemies at 2 range. When used to attack from afar, the Wind Sword targets the enemy's resistance stat, and in the case of Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, is fuelled by the wielder's magic stat.

Additionally, in Thracia 776, the sword will give sword weapon experience at 1 range as normal, but will instead give wind weapon experience at 2 range, which will only have an effect on Mage Knights, as they are the only class in the game that can use both swords and magic.

Trivia

  • The Wind Sword's The Blazing Blade help text is too long; it overflows after "A magical sword capable of" and causes graphical glitches. The full string is "A magic sword capable of striking at a distance. " with a line break after "of". The PAL release corrects it despite the item being entirely unused in PAL regions.
