luigi bros Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I was wondering why iron swords have 46 uses but other iron weapons don't. My guess is the designers must of liked swords. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fia Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Because Iron Sword has the weakest might compared to the other Iron weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Because they're the king of swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fia Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Because they're the king of swords. They are trash in FE4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fia Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Maybe because Iron Sword is the most basic weapon, seeing in FE usually there are many sword users, including the Lord? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ϲharlie Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I don't think there's any reason why iron swords have one more use than other iron weapons. As far as I know, iron swords are only like that in FE6-9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanibomb Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Its because new players use swords the most and they don't know what to do when the sword breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Iron Swords are the best weapon ever. That's why they were given one more use. In all seriousness, I doubt there is a significant reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I don't think there's any reason why iron swords have one more use than other iron weapons. As far as I know, iron swords are only like that in FE6-9.Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they have 40 uses in FE9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Poleax Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they have 40 uses in FE9? They have 46 for some unknown reason. I honestly don't know why iron swords have so much uses. Maybe new players like swords more cause they are more accurate and are more likely to use them? Maybe IS thought we'd use swords more often due to a lot of axe users in the first few chapters?

Steven Tyler Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Because Iron Swords are the weapons of true men. Or because it's low cost, easy to make, and easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Iron Swords are the best weapon ever. That's why they were given one more use. Iron Sword gives weapon triangle advantage in the earlier part of the game seeing as you'd be facing bunch of axe users like Brigand and Fighters...

Rei Rei Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Iron Swords are easier to double then the other Iron weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodykitty Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Likely because they're large pieces of metal, while Axes and Lances are blades attached to pieces of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Iron Swords are easier to double then the other Iron weapons? That doesn't really matter because lance and axe users usually have higher con and strength than sword units so the weight doesn't matter.

Agro Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 That doesn't really matter because lance and axe users usually have higher con and strength than sword units so the weight doesn't matter. See: pegasus knights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Shiu and Watch Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 If thet gave all weapons 46 uses then well this would happen Hector"I will escape fom Ostia". Soldier "No you won't" Hector "My silver axe has forty use's left in it" Hector one hit KO's the whole chapter including Mathew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I didn't say other weapons don't have 46 uses I said other iron weapons have 45 uses but iron swords have 46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well Emblem Blade along with the other Emblem weapons have like 60 use. Though I don't think it should be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
