Armorslayer
| ||||
|
The Armorslayer (Japanese: アーマーキラー Armor Killer) is a sword-type weapon in the Fire Emblem series. This sword deals extra damage against armored units, such as knights and generals, which, together with its low weapon level in most games, makes it a quite valuable weapon when battling armies. It began light, but it has become a somewhat heavy weapon with each new appearance, reaching a quite surprising weight of 17 in Path of Radiance.
The armorslayer first appeared in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, and it has since been in all games but Gaiden, Radiant Dawn, and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

- Despite Armorslayers not actually being an item in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, they are mentioned in the bonus damage tutorial in the English version of the game.[1] In the Japanese version of Radiant Dawn, Hammers are mentioned instead of Armorslayers.
