Caladbolg

Caladbolg is a sword introduced in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

History[]

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Caladbolg was a sword owned exclusively by Edward given to him by King Pelleas. Caladbolg is a national treasure of Daein, along with Tarvos and Lughnasadh, and is considered a piece of Daein Regalia. Along with its siblings, it was a weapon added in the localizations of the game, and is not present in the Japanese version.

Caladbolg is a very powerful sword, being stronger than a Steel Blade and adding 8 points to Edward's Luck, while also being much lighter and more accurate.

In Fire Emblem Engage, a sword by the same name is owned by Zephia.

At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, reduces damage from foe's attacks by Y during combat (when foe's attack triggers foe's Special, Y = 16; when foe attack does not trigger foe's Special, Y = 8; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and unit's next attack deals damage = total damage reduced from foe's first attack (by any source, including other skills).

Etymology[]

Caladbolg is a legendary sword that hails from both Irish and Welsh mythology. In Irish mythology, Caladbolg was the sword of Fergus mac Róich from the Ulster Cycle, and was said to be a two-handed blade that was capable of constructing a circle that resembled a rainbow arc when swung, alongside being imbued with the power to shave the tops of hills and massacre an entire host.

Trivia[]

  • Despite not being in the Japanese version of Radiant Dawn, Caladbolg appears as a skill for Edward in Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher).
