Heavy Blade

Heavy Blade is a Skill in Fire Emblem Fates.

Overview

In Fire Emblem Fates, Heavy Blade provides a flat +3 Strength, though it also reduces the unit's Speed by 1. Heavy Blade is learned by amiibo Ike in his Vanguard class or by obtaining a skill book through DLC.

In Fire Emblem Heroes, Heavy Blade functions to accelerate special triggers as long as the user has a higher Attack than their opponent, with the highest level of the skill providing an extra 5 damage to each attack. It appears as a Type A passive skill which can be learned without inheriting by Ephraim (Dynastic Duo), Ike, Jamke and Tibarn (Shipless Pirate). Of these, only Ephraim (Dynastic Duo) and Tibarn (Shipless Pirate) has access to Heavy Blade 4 by default. It also exists as a Sacred Seal.
