Areadbhar is a lance that debuts in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and is a Hero's Relic linked to the Crest of Blaiddyd.

Profile[]

Areadbhar was originally wielded by Blaiddyd, one of the Ten Elites who fought in the War of Heroes. The weapon releases its full power when wielded by a bearer of the Crest of Blaiddyd, granting the combat art Atrocity.

Prior to the events of the Tragedy of Duscur, the lance was carried by Lambert. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Rodrigue confiscates Areadbhar from one of Cornelia's generals in Fhirdiad. After reuniting with Dimitri after the ambush at Ailell, the Valley of Torment, Rodrigue gives Areadbhar to Dimitri as a gesture of loyalty.

In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Dimitri naturally had Areadbhar by the time the war started. It was for a time confiscated by Cornelia and her insurrectionist soldiers after Dimitri willingly surrendered to Cornelia, chained to a stone wall within the throne room in Fhirdiad until Dimitri's allies reclaimed it, and freed the willingly captive king, with Dedue being the one to give Areadbhar to Dimitri, and gave new spirit to the would-be Tempest King.

Male Byleth using Areadbar to attack Male Robin.

Areadbhar is one of the four weapons wielded by Byleth in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They use it for their forward and backward aerials, sideward smash attacks, and sideward specials. Similarly to Marth's Falchion, moves that utilize the lance includes a powerful tipper at the end of the lance but a sour spot around the shaft.

Areadbhar is also the name of Byleth's side special move. Upon using the move, Byleth rushes forward swinging Areadbhar in a large arc. If the player inputs the move as they would a smash attack, then Byleth will lunge further forward. Areadbhar can also be performed as an aerial in which case Byleth swings the lance in a large circle around themselves. The move has a sweetspot on the blade part of the lance and it will do less damage if the shaft hits.

Etymology[]

Areadbhar was a spear used by the Irish mythological figure Lugh, which he demanded as tribute from the Persian king Pisear. According to the Oidhe Chloinne Tuireann (Ode of the Children of Tuireann), the speartip had to be kept submerged in water to prevent it from igniting.

Areadbhar's name is translated as "Slaughterer".

Trivia[]

  • In Engage, Byleth and Dimitri's Areadbhars have swapped colors, with Byleth's being gold with pink highlights, and Dimitri's being pink with gold highlights.
  • In Warriors: Three Hopes, Sothis calls Areabhar "The Vigorous".
