Editing List of swords

[[File:Link SSBU.png|thumb|150px|The ''Breath of the Wild'' iteration of {{SSBU|Link}} wielding the Master Sword in ''Ultimate''.]]  

The {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}} is a longsword from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe. It has appeared in many games of the ''Zelda'' series as [[Link]]'s most powerful sword and is one of the few weapons capable of defeating [[Ganon]]. The backstory established in ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword'' shows that it was created from the {{s|zeldawiki|Goddess Sword}} and is inhabited by the sword spirit {{s|zeldawiki|Fi}}. It is generally found in the {{s|zeldawiki|Pedestal of Time}}, although its location varies by game.

 

 

In ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], five pedestals with a Master Sword appear in the [[Underground Maze]], indicating a fight against {{SSBM|Link}}. In ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the Master Sword appears in the [[Sacred Land]] sub-world. There is also a Master Sword trophy in ''Melee''.

In ''Smash'', Ganondorf shows off the Sword of the Six Sages in his down [[taunt]] in both ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. He would first use it to attack as part of the [[Warlock Blade]] custom move in ''SSB4''. The sword did not appear in ''Melee'' or ''Ultimate'', which use Ganondorf's ''Ocarina of Time'' design, and his sword from the SpaceWorld 2000 ''The Legend of Zelda'' tech demo.

[[File:Meta Knight SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Meta Knight}} carrying Galaxia in ''Ultimate''.]]

{{s|wikirby|Galaxia}} is a branched sword from the {{uv|Kirby}} universe. It is [[Meta Knight]]'s signature weapon and is used by him in most of his appearances. It was first named Galaxia in the ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' anime series and the name was adopted back into the main games starting with ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Epic Yarn}}''.

 

In ''Smash'', Meta Knight wields Galaxia in all of his playable appearances. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', it is also the namesake of his [[Final Smash]], [[Galaxia Darkness]]. [[Kirby]] also uses Galaxia when he [[List of Copy Abilities|copies]] Meta Knight's [[Mach Tornado]], despite not normally wielding it.

{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Falchion|Archanea}} is a broadsword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. A {{s|fireemblemwiki|regalia}} sword dating back to the original ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'', Falchion is the signature weapon of the series' first protagonist, [[Marth]]. Falchion's sister weapon/artifact is the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}}, a.k.a. the Binding Shield; they were both created together by the Divine Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Naga}} from her fangs, to provide humanity with a means of protecting itself from sinister dragons. The weapons can be used separately or together. In the ''Smash Bros.'' series, three different Falchions appear, all under unique names.

The original version of the sword that Marth wields was known merely as Falchion in its original appearances, but in ''Smash Bros.'' and some later appearances, it is referred to as Exalted Falchion (Chrom's Falchion is also known by this name when fully awakened with the power of the Fire Emblem). As of Marth's games, it has become an heirloom of the Altean royal family after its use by their founder, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Anri}}, to defeat the Dragon King {{s|fireemblemwiki|Medeus}}. In ''Smash Bros.'', it uses its design from ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]''; this design is also used as the ''Fire Emblem'' [[series symbol]]. In all of Marth's ''Smash Bros.'' appearances, his Falchion has a stronger [[sweetspot]] at the tip of its blade. Kirby can also use the sword if he copies Marth's [[Shield Breaker]].

 

[[File:Chrom SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Chrom}} wielding the Sealed Falchion in ''Ultimate''.]]

The sword reappears in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' many centuries later, in the hands of the Ylissean royal family and featuring a very different design. In the years since, Falchion has become locked with Naga's {{s|fireemblemwiki|Holy Blood}}, but its power has been reduced due to most of the Fire Emblem's gemstones being removed at the hands of the [[fireemblemwiki:Founder of Ylisse|First Exalt]] (as well as general decay to its parts, having been reforged and repaired multiple times to take on its current appearance). In this state, the sword is referred to as Sealed Falchion. By the start of the game, Falchion has been inherited by [[Chrom]], and he eventually collects the Fire Emblem's gemstones and performs the [[fireemblemwiki:Awakening (rite)|rite of Awakening]] to restore its full strength, powering it up into Exalted Falchion.

 

In the English version of ''Awakening'', this form is simply called Falchion, which is reflected in the [[Palutena's Guidance#Chrom|Palutena's Guidance conversation about Chrom]]. However, it is given the name Sealed Falchion in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', which more closely matches the Japanese name ({{ja|封剣ファルシオン|Fūken Farushion}}, ''Sealed Sword Falchion'').

 

 

[[File:Roy SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Roy}} wielding the Binding Blade in ''Ultimate''.]]

The {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Binding Blade|weapon}} (previously localized as the Sword of Seals), is a regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. The titular sword of ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade'', the Binding Blade was the second sword wielded by the legendary {{s|fireemblemwiki|Hartmut}} of the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Eight Generals}}, the founder of the militant nation of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Bern}} in {{s|fireemblemwiki|Elibe}}. It was used to seal away the Demon Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Idunn}} and end {{s|fireemblemwiki|the Scouring}}, a war in which humans fought and exiled dragons to another dimension. Late in ''The Binding Blade'', the weapon is awakened by the Fire Emblem and reacts to [[Roy]], [[fireemblemwiki:Class change|promoting]] him into a {{s|fireemblemwiki|Great Lord}}.

 

In ''Smash'', the Binding Blade is wielded by Roy in all of his playable appearances. In a similar vein to Marth's Falchion, Roy's Binding Blade has consistently featured a "reverse" sweet spot at the base of its blade in every appearance, which encourages him to fight close to his opponents. Ironically, the Binding Blade is a two ranged weapon in ''Fire Emblem'', unlike in ''Smash''. It is also capable of having [[flame]] properties on some of its attacks. Starting from ''SSB4'' onward, Roy also wields it in reverse grip for certain attacks, namely his neutral attack, forward tilt, up tilt and up special. Kirby can also use the Binding Blade if he copies Roy's [[Flare Blade]].

[[File:Ike SSBU.png|thumb|150px|The ''Path of Radiance'' version of {{SSBU|Ike}} wielding Ragnell in ''Ultimate''.]]

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Ragnell}} is a two-handed regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. Ragnell is a holy blade blessed by the Goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ashera}}; in the ancient past of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Tellius}}, the apostle Altina used the sword in tandem with its counterpart, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Alondite}}. In ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'', [[Ike]], after becoming a Lord, wields Ragnell as his primary weapon, while Alondite belongs to his rival, the [[Black Knight]]. The swords clash against each other, along with their respective wielders, in their rivalry throughout both games set on Tellius. Within these games, both swords are among the most powerful weapons available, capable of performing long-ranged attacks.

 

In ''Smash'', Ragnell is wielded by Ike in all of his playable appearances, even though he uses it in his Ranger outfit, in which he originally couldn't wield it. As a "testament to his strength", Ike wields the two-handed Ragnell with only one hand, granting his attacks significant power but low speed. Kirby can also use Ragnell if he copies Ike's [[Eruption]].

 

 

A {{s|fireemblemwiki|Levin Sword}} is a {{s|fireemblemwiki|magic sword}} from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. Debuting in ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'', Levin Swords are used to cast {{iw|fireemblemwiki|thunder|magic}} magic, and have appeared in many games of the series with varying designs. In the ''Fire Emblem'' series, the Levin Sword can be used to attack from afar, but this is not present in ''SSB4''. Additionally, the Levin Sword in ''SSB4'' is considerably shorter compared to its appearance in ''Fire Emblem Awakening''.

In ''Smash'', [[Robin]] uses a ''Fire Emblem Awakening''-style Levin Sword for [[smash attack]]s and smash attack-like [[aerial attack]]s. Following its original elemental traits, the Levin Sword deals [[electric]] damage. After a certain number of uses, Levin Swords will break, referencing the ''Fire Emblem'' {{s|fireemblemwiki|durability}} system. A broken Levin Sword will be dropped and shatter after a few seconds, but Robin or any other fighter can pick it up and use it as a basic throwing [[item]] before it disappears. Once broken, the sword respawns after about 6 seconds. In ''Ultimate'', using the Levin Sword will display its current durability above Robin's [[damage meter]].

:'''''Yato''' redirects here. For the Japanese smasher, see {{Sm|Yato}}.''

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Yato}} is a regalia katana from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. In ''Fire Emblem Fates'', it is [[Corrin]]'s signature weapon and is capable of transforming into many variations over the course of the game, some of which are dependent on the story path chosen.

 

In ''Smash'', Yato is Corrin's main weapon, appearing in its ultimate form known as Omega Yato, the "Fire Emblem" of its continuity. This form is exclusively available in the third story path, ''Revelation'', and in the DLC chapter ''Heirs of Fate 6: Lost in the Waves''. Despite its chainsaw-like blade, it functions identically to a typical sword with the exception of Corrin's charge portion of their [[forward smash]], where the small blades rotate along with the sword and deal multiple weak hits.

==Sword of the Creator==

[[File:Fighter-byleth.png|thumb|150px|Male and female {{SSBU|Byleth}} wielding the Sword of the Creator in ''Ultimate''.]]

The {{s|fireemblem|Sword of the Creator}}, also simply called the Creator Sword, is one of the [[fireemblemwiki:Regalia#In Fódlan|Relics]] from ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', and Byleth's signature weapon, crafted from the heart and bones of the progenitor goddess [[Sothis]] and previously wielded by the bandit king {{s|fireemblem|Nemesis}}. It has the ability to extend and retract like a whip to attack opponents at range.

 

The sword used to only be used at its fullest potential by those who bear the {{s|fireemblem|Crest of Flames}}, the "Fire Emblem" of this continuity but by the time Byleth acquired the sword at the Holy Mausoleum, only they can wield it despite Edelgard also having the Crest of Flames. The Relics usually require the corresponding crest stone to be used without harm, yet Byleth seemingly wields it without one. It is later revealed that the sword was made from the remains of the progenitor god and that the crest stone is her heart which Rhea placed within Byleth.

 

In ''Smash'', the sword is used for most of Byleth's ground attacks, as well as upward-inputted moves such as up smash, up air, and [[Sword of the Creator|up special]]. The sword is sometimes used in its whip form while other times is used in its sword form.

[[File:Shulk SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Shulk}} wielding the Monado in ''Ultimate''.]]

The {{s|xenoserieswiki|Monado}} is a mythical weapon from the {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} universe. It is an energy blade, with the red shell opening up to produce a long beam of blue light. The Monado begins ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' as the Homs' ultimate weapon against the invading Mechon—it cannot harm Homs, whereas it is the only known weapon that can damage the Mechon. However, it appears to have a mind of its own; initially, [[Dunban]] is the only one that can successfully control its power, and even then, it gradually causes him to lose the use of his right arm. When the Mechon later attacks Colony 9, Dunban can no longer use the Monado despite trying, and Shulk ends up taking it in his stead, finding that he can wield it with no ill effects. From there, Shulk uses the Monado as his only weapon. As his adventure progresses, he discovers that it hides additional battle arts and provides him with premonitions of the future that he must take action to avoid. Over the course of the adventure, the Monado evolves to grant Shulk additional strength when he most needs it. Ultimately, Shulk and his party discover the deep and complex connection between the Monado and the nature of the world.

 

In ''Smash'', Shulk wields the initial form of the Monado as his primary weapon and additionally utilizes its [[Monado Arts]]. Due to its beam nature, the Monado grants Shulk excellent disjointed range, one of the longest in the entire series. Some of his attacks with the Monado are taken from his moves in ''Xenoblade Chronicles''. Its ability to provide premonitions is also used as his [[Vision|down special]], functioning as a counterattack. Kirby can also carry the Monado if he copies [[Monado Arts]] from Shulk, though he does not fight with it. Unlike Dunban and Reyn in their home game, although Kirby isn't a Homs member, he can carry the Monado with no trouble.

 

A stylized depiction of the Monado is also used as the ''Xenoblade'' [[series symbol]], matching how it was stylized on the loading screens of ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.

==Aegis Sword==

The {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Aegis Sword}} is a weapon type exclusive to [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', being wielded by their Driver [[Rex]] (and by Mythra herself in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country''). Pyra's Aegis Sword is an energy blade with a red single-edged triangular shell similar in appearance to the Monado, but with several small beams emitted from its side. With it, Rex's attacks and Pyra's Blade Specials specialize in the Fire element. Mythra's Aegis Sword has a white double-edged triangular shell and its smaller beams form a crossguard. With it, Rex's attacks and Mythra's Blade Specials in ''XC2''—along with Mythra's attacks, Vanguard/Rear Guard Arts, and Specials in ''Torna ~ The Golden Country''—specialize in the Light element.

 

In ''Smash'', Pyra and Mythra wield their respective Aegis Swords, rather than Rex, similarly to how Mythra does so in ''Torna ~ The Golden Country''. Pyra's sword generates [[flame]] effects for certain attacks (and the [[slash]] effect for other attacks), but as ''Smash'' lacks a true "light" element, Mythra's sword instead merely uses the [[slash]] effect for all of its direct attacks, and the {{b|magic|effect}} effect for its Light element-based moves. The energy blade of Pyra's sword has noticeably greater length than Mythra's during shared standard attacks, despite the two having identical length in their home game. During various animations in ''Smash'', Pyra and Mythra's swords levitate freely near their bodies. Additionally, during Pyra and Mythra's respective [[Final Smash]]es ([[Burning Sword]] and [[Sacred Arrow]]), the sword gets handed over to Rex, who performs the initial slash that sets up into the rest of either move. Kirby can also use both swords if he copies Pyra's [[Flame Nova]] or Mythra's [[Lightning Buster]], respectively. Pyra's Aegis Sword is also part of Rex's Mii Swordfighter costume. Pneuma's spirit also depicts her wielding her respective Aegis Sword.

 

 

[[File:Cloud SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Cloud}} wielding the Buster Sword in ''Ultimate''.]]

After acquiring the Buster Sword, Cloud would use it as his main weapon but he would later get better weapons later in the game like the Hardedge and the Ultima Weapon for example. Cloud still uses the Buster Sword in cutscenes and minigames however. In ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', Cloud would place the Buster Sword on the cliff where Zack had his last stand as a memorial. The sword rusts and becomes covered in dirt due to its exposure to the elements and lack of maintenance, but after Cloud defeats Sephiroth yet again, he soon after refurbishes the Buster Sword and moves it to the Sector 5 church as a memorial to both Zack and [[Aerith Gainsborough]].

The Buster Sword has become an iconic design element for both Cloud and ''Final Fantasy VII'' in general, due to its massive size and simple, yet distinctive shape. The Buster Sword is wielded by Cloud in most of his appearances and has appeared in other ''Final Fantasy'' media as well. From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide. There are two holes near the handguard, variably said to be Materia slots (and portrayed as such in ''Final Fantasy VII Remake''), or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back. Kirby can also wield the Buster Sword if he copies [[Blade Beam]] from Cloud.

[[File:Cloud-Alt1 SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Cloud}} carrying the combined Fusion Sword in ''Ultimate'' as part of his ''Advent Children'' costume.]]

 

In ''Smash'',  when Cloud uses his costume based on ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', the Buster Sword is replaced with the combined Fusion Sword to match, with no difference in function barring one exception: as of ''Ultimate'' update 10.1.0, it will split into its six component blades for his unique Final Smash in that costume, [[Omnislash|Omnislash Ver. 5]]. This is primarily a cosmetic change, with the resulting total damage and knockback being the same as the normal version. Kirby cannot copy the Fusion Sword, regardless of Cloud's costume.

==Steve's swords==

[[File:SSBUWebsiteSteve6.jpg|thumb|200px|{{SSBU|Steve}} and Alex wielding a diamond sword and iron sword respectively in ''Ultimate''.]]

The [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Sword sword] is a melee weapon from {{uv|Minecraft}}. There are multiple variants of swords, including wooden, stone, iron, golden, diamond, and netherite (which is not present in ''Ultimate''), all varying in strength and durability. They are crafted with a single stick and two units of either wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingots, gold ingots or diamonds respectively, with netherite swords requiring a diamond sword to be upgraded with a netherite ingot by using a smithing table. Swords can also be obtained by defeating specific mobs, trading with villagers, and from naturally spawning chests.

 

In ''Smash'', [[Steve]] uses swords in his jab, forward tilt, neutral aerial, forward smash, edge attack, and floor attack. He is initially armed with a wooden sword, but he is able to [[Craft]] new swords using a Crafting Table. After a while of use, swords will break.

[[Mii Swordfighter]]s can use many different swords (and other similar weapons), depending on their outfit:

*Standard Outfit: A basic sword with a golden hilt, loosely resembling Marth's [[#Falchion|Falchion]]. Can also be used by Kirby if a Mii Swordfighter's [[Gale Strike]] is copied.

*Cybernetic Suit: A light blue futuristic sword.

*Business Suit: A long, black sword.

*SSB T-Shirt: A multi-colored sword loosely resembling the [[Beam Sword]] from ''SSB4''.

*Samurai Armor {{gameIcon|ssb4}}: A {{s|wikipedia|katana}}.

*Plate Armor {{gameIcon|ssb4}}: A {{s|wikipedia|knightly sword}}.

*Neon Suit {{gameIcon|ssb4}}: A glowing, light blue futuristic sword resembling the [[Beam Sword]] from ''Brawl''.

*Maid Outfit {{gameIcon|ssbu}}: A broom.

*[[Link]] Outfit and Champion's Outfit: The [[#Master Sword|Master Sword]].

*[[Dunban]] Outfit: Dunban's {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Homs Sabre}}.

*[[Ashley]] Outfit: Ashley's wand.

*[[Rathalos]] Mail: The [http://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Blazing_Falchion Blazing Falchion].

 

*The [[Ultra Sword]], used by [[Kirby]] in his Final Smash.

*Kirby can copy fighters via {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}, so he can use some fighters' swords through their [[Copy Ability]]. He cannot copy alternate costumes, so some non-default swords are unusable, like the Fusion Sword. Other Copy Abilities gain an unusable sword for aesthetic purposes, such as Hero's Supreme Sword of Light. In Shulk’s case, Kirby does use the weapon, but not by directly attacking with it. With Sora, Kirby copies the move, but not the weapon and instead wields a rough imitation of it made of sparkles.

*Flame Sword, Sword Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 8'', which is used in [[Mega Man]]'s [[forward aerial]].

*The non-playable ''Dragon Quest'' Heroes' swords (aside from the Hero of ''Dragon Quest V'', whose default weapon is a staff) in Hero’s Final Smash [[Gigaslash]].

*[[Pit]]'s {{s|icaruspedia|Palutena Bow}} and [[Dark Pit]]'s {{s|icaruspedia|Silver Bow}}, both of which can split into bladed weapons. Both can be used by Kirby if he copies their neutral specials, though he only uses it as a bow.

*A Phantom's sword, used by the Phantom summoned by [[Zelda]]'s [[Phantom Slash]].

*{{SSBU|Sheik}}'s dagger, used in her Final Smash, [[Sheikah Dance]].

*[[Ganon, The Demon King]]'s twin greatswords.

*The [[Beam Sword]] and [[Killing Edge]] items.

*[[Assist Trophy]] characters who attack with swords or similar weapons (named weapons in parentheses): [[Alucard]] (Crissaegrim), [[Black Knight]] (Alondite), [[Ghirahim]], [[Gray Fox]], [[Kat & Ana]], [[Lyn]] (Manni Katti), [[Magnus]], [[Saki Amamiya]] (Dolphin Gun), [[Samurai Goroh]], [[Takamaru]], {{b|Zero|Mega Man}} (Z-Saber).

*Boss characters who attack with swords: the blue side of [[Duon]], [[Master Core#Master Edges|Master Edges]], [[Ganon]].

*The two swords in the Ironworks Chamber of [[Kalos Pokémon League]], and the Sword Pokémon {{s|bulbapedia|Honedge}} that appears in the background and as a [[trophy]].
