Usage

Weapons in most Fire Emblem games have a limited number of uses; unlike other RPG's, they can only be swung about so many times before they break. While there are some notable exceptions, such as Ragnell, Amiti, and a few other weapons, most weapons acquired have from 20-45 uses before they wear out and are gone. Part of playing the games is knowing how to kill enemies with as few attacks as possible in order to save the uses of weapons; money is very limited, so weapons cannot be replaced on a whim.
