Swordbreaker (剣殺し Ken Koroshi lit. Sword Slayer in the Japanese version, Anti-épée in the French version, Spezzaspada in the Italian version, Partesables in Spanish version) is a Skill introduced in TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga and appears in multiple Fire Emblem games. In this incarnation, it is known as Dodge Swords (剣回避, Ken Kaihi lit. Sword Avoidance, Swordbane in the fan translation). It is a skill that triggers if a unit would be hit by a sword, blade, or mace. When activated, it rerolls the hit with an accuracy cap of 33%; thus, it effectively cuts hit rates 33% and up by two thirds and squares hit rates below 33%. It is unobtainable on playable units and only found on a few enemy units.
In Fire Emblem Awakening, the skill increases the user's Hit Rate and Evasion by 50% when the enemy is equipped with a Sword. It should be noted that the ability does not stack with the Superior Edge; only one of the two's effects will be used.
In Fire Emblem Heroes it can be learned without inheriting by: Abel, Sully, and Ike.
