Urvan (ウルヴァン Uruvan) is an Axe that appears exclusively in the Tellius Series of Fire Emblem. This axe functions as the most powerful axe in both titles that it appears in (although it exists as unused data in Path of Radiance), with it being one of 11 SS-ranked weapons available in Radiant Dawn.

Background

After accidentally murdering his wife under the influence of Lehran's Medallion, Greil severed the tendons in his dominant sword arm, swearing off wielding swords for the remainder of his life. He then takes up Urvan as his primary weapon of choice.

Following the events of Chapter 7 in Path of Radiance, Greil wields Urvan in a duel that he engages with his former pupil. Greil is defeated and slain in the process, and Urvan is thereafter used as his grave marker.

Before the events of Rebirth 1 unfold in Radiant Dawn, Caineghis returns Urvan to Ike, believing that his doing so is motivated by the will of the deceased Greil.

While unusable by the player, Urvan is by technicality used as it is the weapon Greil uses when he crits some poor enemy in Chapter 7. This can be discovered via cheat codes that take control of other units. Using said cheat when Greil shows up (leave it on even when he leaves) will put him in your party, where he appears on the status screen with urvan in his inventory with 19 uses left.

Overall: Possessing the highest hit rate of any legendary weapon (tied with Rexaura) and the highest might of all axes the player can access, Urvan is a weapon you should definitely be using and should be blessed by Yune on any normal playthrough of the game. Common candidates for this weapon are Haar, Jill, Boyd, Nolan, Titania, and Ike.

Effect
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If Ike receives consecutive attacks, damage from second attack onward reduced by 80%.

Overall: Unlike many other skills, the effect of Urvan can stack with any Deflect Seal, making Brave Ike a way more tough unit. Coupled with that there's the recent refine from update 3.9, which forces the opponent starting an attack against Ike to hit twice before the reaction, with the first blow having damage reduced by 40% of it's total. Overall, the two blows with reduced damage, plus Aether and Steady Breath, makes Brave Ike a green tank as powerful as units like Brave Ephraim, Surtr and similars.
