Vajra-Mushti are a pair of gauntlets that first appear in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. They are a Heroes' Relic bearing the Crest of Chevalier.

Overview[]

The Vajra-Mushti aren't technically a Hero's Relic as they were forged after the War of Heroes. The Relic had been passed down Chevalier's lineage that Balthus inherited through his mother's side of the family.

In Imperial Year 1180, the Vajra-Mushti were stolen and put up for sale on the black market, later purchased by Baron Ochs, who was pressured into obtaining the Relic for a mysterious group, claiming they had his daughter Monica and would return her to him if he could find a Relic. In his insistence on using the Vajra-Mushti, Baron Ochs transformed into a Giant Bird, the Forlorn Beast, and were later taken from him after his death.

Etymology[]

Vajra Mushti is a Sanskrit bahuvrihi compound translating to "one who is grasping a thunderbolt" or "one whose clenched fist is like a diamond." It is a name of Indra. In the epic Ramayana, Vajra Mushti is the son of the demon Malyavan, making him Ravana's maternal uncle; he is killed in the war between Ravana and Rama.

Trivia[]

  • Vajra-Mushti is currently and simultaneously the only Relic that exists in the form of Gauntlets.
    • Due to that, this makes the only "natural" Relic that has multiple Crest Stones, one on each gauntlet.
  • Despite Balthus claiming that the Vajra-Mushti is not a true Relic, the Relic requiring Umbral Steel for repairs as other Relics do, inflicts damage to units without Crests from use, has Crest Stones fastened in it, and even transforms Crestless people into Demonic Beasts, it is likely that it is no different from an actual Relic.
    • It is possible that Balthus assumes it isn't due to believing that it is man made, while the actual Relics were created by the goddess, thus is unaware that all Relics are man made.
  • Unlike every other Relic Weapons, Vajra-Mushti's exclusive Combat Art, Eviscerate, lack effectiveness against Dragons in Three Houses.
    • In addition, the gauntlets do not writhe and twitch as other Relics do in the hands of a matching crest bearer. They remain completely inanimate on all users.
  • Vajra-Mushti is the only Hero's Relic that does not have an Owner Achievement tied to it.
