The STRONGEST WEAPONS in Fire Emblem

In the last video. I talked about the best weapons in each Fire Emblem game. But in the intro and conclusion, I mentioned a similar list: the strongest weapons. To some, it may seem a bit confusing to make that distinction. But the nature of these games usually being linear - the best weapons are often tied in with their availability and usefulness relative to the early and mid game despite what their Mt stat would tell you. These weapons, though. These weapons do NOT consider availability whatsoever, and lean mainly into raw stats and stat bonuses given to the player upon it being wielded. So today, we’re going to look at the series’s STRONGEST weapons and include at least 1 weapon from each game, as some in a particular may have the highest Mt stat, but are still second to others due to other factors - range, stat bonuses and effectiveness.
As a disclaimer, this is a video for fun that doesn’t consider much besides raw Mt and Stat Bonuses, with some exceptions here and there. “The Strongest” for this video will be defined around that criteria. So for example, while weapons with the brave effect would probably...definitely populate a video like this if it were meant to be more serious, they won’t show up.

Ghast: "I want to do a Worst Legendary Weapons list"

3H: _"....oh no"_

[katrose]

I remember giving the Gradivus to Hardin and the orb that makes weapons indestructible and letting him go to town on the entire map. Good times

[jonathanrussell]

Ragnell really is one of the craziest weapons. 1-2 range, high might, negate crits, INFINITE USES, +5 defense cause why not. Only downside is IIRC it can't crit or proc skills at range 2.

[shinigamimiroku]

Finally, Fire Emblem Heroes:

*shows a picture of Fallen Edelgard*

Enough said.

[daz]

Amyr: Galefore
Failnaught: Stealth
Areadbhar: KILL THEM TWICE AS HARD

[arctic]

For Awakening, Celica's Gale is so broken. It has brave, 1-2 range, magic, and flier effectiveness. If you combine it with forging, tomefaire, vantage, and vengeance, only stuff like counter and 3 range will kill you

[ivanbluecool]

The storngest weapon is fire emblem awakening dual guard and the friends we made along the way.

Jokes aside legendary weapons are always fun to use when you have hammeran ready.

[maccheese]

>Not even mentioning FE1 Falchion and how it literally makes Marth immune to any 1 range combat damage from humans

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[KirianLara]

Shout outs to Subaki's Pike +7. Doubling might when your skill is higher than the enemy's skill with no penalties is amazing. The only downside about it is that you can only get that weapon through random events

[justintsui]

The Durandal slaps...



Until you use it twenty times and lock yourself from the true ending

[conorb.]

I got super lucky my first playthrough and stumbled upon a rusted sword that could be forged into Astra during my first playthrough of Shadows of Valentia. When I realized what I had found, I proceeded to go on a killing spree with the bonkers 50 crit plus Astral Blade. Astra has always been the coolest part of swordmasters, and it hurts my soul that Astra is utterly terrible in Three Houses.

[leifster]

I can take to appreciate how nutty Naga is. I love the idea of Julia getting the most godlike weapon in the franchise

[Halvos]

You know what's funny? The first run I did of Three Houses I did Crimson Flower.
I made Edelgard a magic-user meaning I never once used Aymr.

[tidepoolclipper]

In regards to contenders for disappointing legendary or limited weapons, there's stuff like Sol Katti (it looks cool and the concept of it not actually being a legendary weapon but instead the cousin of Mani Katti is interesting, but it was made way too heavy and is not effective against dragons as it could have been), FE8 Luna, Firestone in FE11&12, FE3 Fire Breath, armor slaying weapons in FE7 and FE9, FE9 Anti-Laguz weapons, FE9 Flame lance, FE9 Bolt Axe...

GBA Shortbow, Lightbrand (except in FE5), GBA Iron and Steel blades, OG Ballista, FE9 Amiti, Eclipse tome (abysmal accuracy in FE6 and its effect is a joke in FE7 and FE8), Berserk sword, FE4 Sleep sword, FE4 Bolganone, Meisterbogen, FE10 Steel longbow, FE11 Stonehoist, FE10 Bolting, F13 Wilderwind, FE13 Slack Bow, Ganglari, Speed Thunder, Crusher, and Blutgang.

It's neat that in 3H you need Agarthium to repair Amyr, considering that Edelgard had it made by commission from the Agarthans, so I guess they used some different techniques to put it together. I guess their corpse forging craft really advanced in all their time as mole people XD.

[biandanxious]

With three houses…..
We all know it’s Amyr. Raging storm is super overpowered.

[ramenbomberdeluxe]

Dying Ember, because its SO WEAK that it feedback loops around and becomes strong again. Yeah, thats how that works right? ....Right?

[ResurgentRaven]

Pretty sure the Zweihander is just as much as a contender for top spot as Astra.
Zweihander is:
-More accessible
-Has +3 higher Might at full forging
-Comes with Tigerstance which is an almost instakill with any Dread Fighter having 35+ Skill (reaching over 90+ damage at some points) and costs 8HP compared to Astra Blade's 10HP cost and grants +30 accuracy to make sure it connects.

[danphantom]

Amyr really is broken in FE3H, I was taken by surprise when El nearly wiped all my units on maddening by spamming raging storm.
