Type

Anima

First game

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Aircalibur (Japanese: エイルカリバー Aircalibur) is an uncommon anima tome which, in legitimate gameplay, is exclusive to Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. It is a lightweight and fairly accurate tome, whose main feature is its effectiveness against flying units.

Although only legitimately avaiable in The Binding Blade, an unfinished version of the spell can be found unused in the data of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, known as Alacalibur in English and other non-Japanese versions.

Other appearances

Fire Emblem Cipher

Aircalibur is present as a skill on one card in Fire Emblem Cipher: B05-025R Anima Child, Lugh. It is a manual-activation skill which, for a cost of flipping 1 bond card, adds the common "Anti-Fliers" skill to Lugh until the end of the turn, temporarily giving him an effective bonus of +30 to his attack power when fighting flying-type cards.

Trivia

  • The unfinished version of Alacalibur from The Sacred Stones lacks its own icon, using the Killer Ballista icon as a placeholder. Its sound effects were not imported from The Binding Blade, so it instead cuts off the battle music (if battle animations are enabled), though sound effects associated with the caster or the impact with the enemy will still play.

Aircalibur

Japanese

エイルカリバー

Aircalibur. A combination of air and calibur (from Excalibur), a suffix often used for wind tomes in the Fire Emblem series.
