Ϲharlie Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Actually... I can't think of too many characters off the top of my head who would make good use of a rune sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melonhead Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 So is this a magical sword? I can see grandmaster avatar/morgan being pretty dangerous with this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm sure Owain or hell even Brady with Ricken/Henry as a dad would turn out decent with a Runesword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, Avatar and Morgan could use it well, though those stood out as too obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackos Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Actually, with this you'd be able to Nosferatank without the need of being a Sorcerer, which given the terrible model they have would be pretty cool, though as others said, not many could make a good use of it.

Unless you meant someone else, like Inigo or possibly even Severa.

Rune swords have always been very rare, and I doubt IS would change that for Awakening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune swords have always been very rare, and I doubt IS would change that for Awakening. This is the game that has an "Infinite Regalia" DLC and infinite buyable Nosferatu tomes, I'm pretty sure if it existed in this game you'd be able to get tons of them in some way (this isn't even counting the possibility of them giving it to a Spotpass Team and therefore letting you buy it from them infinitely).

Rune swords have always been very rare, and I doubt IS would change that for Awakening. Good points. I particularly agree on the second, seeing as Runeswords were either one-of-a-kind (Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance) or two-of-a-kind (Blazing Sword), and in all instances, they weren't obtainable until a couple chapters before the end of the game (also, in FE7, the chapter where you got Runeswords was Hector exclusive and required you to finish the preceding chapter in 20 turns or less).

Airship Canon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It'd probably be farmable from a certain "Nemesis" Spotpass team.... >_>;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Or they could pull a shockstick and make it so you can only find them from sparkling tiles. It worked for Aversa's Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djing Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Every male character can now nosferatank with dread fighter. Dark Knights and tricksters can nosferatank too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be confusing it with Light Brands or something, but I was pretty sure you could get more than one Rune sword in SS; at least, I remember it that way because I recall getting extremely lucky with monster drops in Lagdou Ruins. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though. Actually, I wasn't counting skirmishes. And there's the fact that enemies with droppable Runeswords are rather rare.

Actually, in SS you could RNG abuse the hell out of the Tower of Valni to get as many Runeswords as you wanted, and they were one of the easiest items to get (enter tower -> start battle -> retreat -> save -> soft reset -> enter again = boom, a skeleton carrying a Runesword appears, IIRC. I had like, 20 or so. EDIT: Gah, ninja'd. Still, the RNG abuse wasn't mentioned earlier, so I brought something new... Also, Runeswords would mean that when I'm grinding LB3 with a sword user in need of a ranged weapon, I can choose between a "regular" magic sword and a Nosferatu sword, which would make it so much easier to grind unpromoted units.

I'm pretty sure that any magic user who can go Dark Knight would be able to use it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
