Weapon Level

Similar to Weapon Rank, Weapon Level is a stat featured in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo, which determines which weapons a character is able to wield. There is a Weapon Level stat for both characters and weapons. Characters can use weapons with a Weapon Level that is equal to or lower than their own Weapon Level, no matter the type of weapon (e.g: sword or lance). Characters can increase their Weapon Level by leveling up and promoting, as there is a growth rate for the weapon level. The lowest weapon level is usually E, and the highest is usually S. By using a certain weapon a certain amount of times, results in a "weapon level up", and the weapon level of that weapon will increase. The strongest weapons in a Fire Emblem game, usually require the highest weapon level to be weilded(like the sword, Alondite). Some weapons don't have a weapon level, and can only be weilded by certain people(for example: Cymbeline, for Sanaki, Ragnell, for Ike, Thani, for Micaiah,etc.)
