Brave Sword

Brave Sword (ゆうしゃの剣, Hero Sword in the japanese version) is a B-Rank sword used in several Fire Emblem games. It is among the Brave series of weapons. It is usually found in the middle or end of the game. Like all other Brave weapons, it gives you 2x your ordinary hits, which allows you to do a quadruple strike.

The brave sword is a powerful and well-rounded sword with substantial durability and decent accuracy. The brave sword gives a tactical edge to any unit that wields it because of the fact that can strike consecutively. This is a good weapon for slow units like generals and armor swords to use so that they can attack twice. This is also a good weapon to use to train units, and it is also tactical to use when attacking a powerful unit when a counterattack is not worth the risk.

The only true drawback to brave weapons is that since they strike so many times, that durability decreases very fast. As well, they can tend to be on the heavier side when it comes to swords, but the weight shouldn't really be too much of a problem.

Tips
The Brave Sword is a sword best used for Myrmidons and Swordmasters. Of course, any unit (even slower ones) can use speed wings to improve their speed and have an increased chance for 4x the strike opportunities. A good strategy for brave weapons is to save them for the final battle or for an exceptionally hard enemy unit (usually a boss like Ena (FE9) or Bryce (FE9)) because their durability decreases rapidly (they typically have30 uses).
