Bölverk (Japanese: ベルヴェルク Bölverk) is a regalia axe that debuted in Fire Emblem Fates.

The Bölverk is top-level, powerful, accurate, extended range up to three squares, and gives its wielder a dodge boost.

Trivia

  • Despite the weapon description's claims, Bölverk is not properly character locked to Garon; if this weapon is hacked into the player's inventory it can be used by any unit with an S level in axes.[1]

  1. "Despite Bölverk's description stating it can only be wielded by Garon, it is not flagged to only be usable by him unlike weapons with similar conditions (e.g. Fujin Yumi can only be wielded by Takumi). If hacked into a unit's inventory, it can be wielded by them as long as they have an S rank proficiency with axes."Oddities, tcrf.net, Retrieved: September 6th 2016
