In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, this sword solely appears in the Prologue chapter, and is wielded by Ike and Greil during the practice sparring sessions that they engage in. Incapable of inducing a critical hit when equipped, this sword is, ironically enough, one that is statistically more powerful than the Iron Sword.
Automatically equipped if character is reclassed to a class where they cannot use any available weapons
Trivia[]
In Path of Radiance, despite its description's claim that it "deals no real damage", the Trainer is actually statistically superior to the Iron Sword in every respect save its inability to deal critical hits.
The French and Italian translations of Path of Radiance rename the Trainer "bronze sword", likely because the Trainer is internally known by the game by the file name "BRONZESWORD". This matches the Bronze Sword that would be introduced in the next game, and the Trainer and the Radiant Dawn Bronze Sword even share the same inability to inflict critical hits.
