Brave weapons are not without their drawbacks, however. They sometimes have only an middling amount of [[durability]], which, due to its effect, can be drained very quickly if one is not careful. Additionally, [[weapon experience]] gained from using a brave weapon ignores the brave effect; if for example the wielder attacked four times using a brave weapon, they only gain weapon experience from it as if the wielder had attacked just the normal non-brave two times. Finally, in games with [[Weight (weapon)|weight]], brave weapons are often heavy, lowering the speed of units with low [[constitution]] or [[strength]].

Most games which feature brave weapons have only the core four physical weapon types—the [[Brave Sword]], [[Brave Lance]], [[Brave Axe]] and [[Brave Bow]]—from which the weapon group gains its colloquial name. {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}} introduced a set of four "quick weapons", weaker equivalents of the brave weapons which, while less powerful and durable, functioned the same way and were available at a lower [[weapon level]]; {{title|Thracia 776}} did the opposite with its "master weapons", variants available only at higher weapon levels but sporting lower stats in general, save for increased [[crit]] (for the [[Meisterschwert]]) or [[range]] (for the [[Master Lance]] and [[Master Axe]]). {{title|Three Houses}} instead introduces an entirely new weapon class, [[Gauntlets]], all of which function as brave weapons. Comparatively few brave tomes exist in the main series: the only ones are [[Dire Thunder]] in {{title|Thracia 776}}, [[Celica's Gale]] and [[Waste]] in {{title|Awakening}} and [[Lightning]] and [[Snake Spirit]] in {{title|Fates}}. Occasionally, a [[personal weapons|personal weapon]] acts as a brave weapon: such as [[Mareeta's Sword]] in {{title|Thracia 776}}, and [[Elincia]]'s [[Amiti]] in {{title|Path of Radiance}} and {{title|Radiant Dawn}}.

From ''Fates'' onwards, the two consecutive strikes only take effect if the user initiates the battle. The only exceptions to this rule are several weapons featured in {{title|Heroes}}: [[Ladyblade]] wielded by [[Palla]]: Kind Eldest Sister, the [[Arden's Blade]] wielded by [[Arden]]: Strong and Tough, the [[Goddess Axe]] wielded by [[Lex]]: Young Blade, the [[Meisterbogen]] wielded by [[Leif]]: Unifier of Thracia, the [[Meisterschwert]] wielded by [[Reinhardt]]: Thunder's Sword, the [[Ragnell·Alondite]] wielded by [[Altina]]: Dawn's Trueblade and Altina: Cross-Time Duo, the [[Wolfskin Fang]] wielded by [[Keaton]]: Lupine Collector, the refined [[Laslow's Blade]] wielded by [[Inigo|Laslow]]: Dancing Duelist, and the [[Twin Star Axe]] wielded by [[Laevatein]]: Ninja of Múspell in ''Heroes'', which trigger their brave effects on both the player and enemy phases as in previous games.
