Mani Katti

The Mani Katti is a highly versatile katana used as the starting weapon of Lyn in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken. The sword is substantially powerful, but its true power lies in its dynamic usefulness. Though similar to the rapier, the Mani Katti has a critical hit percentage of 20, which is quite high for a weapon of its durability. It also is highly effective against armored and horse mounted units. Although it is inferior, Archsage Athos insists that it is the sister sword of the Sol Katti, Lyn's ultimate weapon that she receives in the final chapter.

Tactical Advice
The Mani Katti is an extremely versatile blade that can has abnormally high durability for its stats. However, it can still break if overused. It is recommended that the player use the sword only when necessary; to kill a foe that has too much HP to fall to an iron sword, when fighting mounted units, when fighting armored units, and when fighting bosses. If one decides to fight Lundgren with Lyn, the Mani Katti is by far the best possible weapon one can use against him. In Eliwood/Hector's story, the sword is restored to its original durability. It would be wise for the player NOT to overuse the Mani Katti during the first ten chapters unless absolutely necessary. When Lyn promotes into a Blade Lord, the Mani Katti can make her nigh invincible. If the sword is weak, don't use it until it breaks...put it in storage until it can be restored with a Hammerne.

Story Origin
This blade was kept in a small church, waiting for its chosen wielder to arrive, protected by a priest. A band of Bandits, led by a Mercenary named Glass, arrived and captured the priest. Glass came with the intention of stealing it and using it in battle. However, the spirits of the sword prevented him from drawing the sword. In his anger, Glass vowed to destroy the altar. Lyndis, Sain, and Kent arrived and defeated the bandits. After the battle Lyndis (Lyn) was allowed to touch the sword to pray. The sword reacted to her touch, and she was able to draw it from its sheath as its rightful owner.
