The Killing Edge is a sword that recurrently appears across the Fire Emblem series. It is notable as one of the several "Killer weapons", a class of weapon that substantially boosts the likelihood of its wielder landing a Critical Hit. In the Fire Emblem series, a critical hit causes a weapon to deal three times its base damage, a trait that is kept in Smash Bros. in the form of increasing damage and knockback. The Killing Edge's design in Smash Ultimate appears to take inspiration from its appearances in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem Awakening, with the weapon's shape and design resembling its appearance in the former, and the color scheme resembling its color in the latter.
