Falcon blade: Difference between revisions

The '''Falcon blade''' is a {{Sword}} featured in multiple games in the {{DQSeries}}.  The sword is incredibly fast, allowing those wielding it to attack twice in a single turn. In later games, it can be upgraded into an [[Über falcon blade]].

The Falcon blade is a one-handed sword with a slim blade, a blue hilt with a knuckle bow and gold pommel, and a stylized golden design of a flying bird on its crossguard which gives the sword its name. It shares characteristics with the real life European smallsword and rapiers. The design of the Falcon blade has stayed the same since it was first introduced and it has appeared in every main series game since {{II}} and even in multiple spinoffs.

The Falcon blade has an {{Attack}} bonus of +7 (+5 in the original {{NES}} version). It can be purchased from [[Slewse]] for 25,000 {{Gold}} and can be equipped by the {{Hero 2}} and the [[Prince of Cannock]]. It is useful against enemies and gives the player a chance to attack enemies 2 times, including [[Metal slime]]s and [[Liquid metal slime]] who often run away from battle.

You can find a Falcon blade on the west side of the Castle on the ground.

You can attack the same enemy twice with it but won't carry over to a different {{MFamilies}} and is useful against [[Metal slime family|Metal slime]] enemies who often run away. The Falcon blade is the most expensive to get at Endor's casino as you have to bet at the monster arena for many hours before finally getting over 65,000 [[token]]s. And it will cost 130,000 [[token]]s total for the {{Hero 4}} and {Ragnar}} early on in the beginning of Chapters 2, 3 and 5.

The Falcon blade has an {{Attack}} bonus of +67 and each strike hits for 75%, totaling up to 150%. It can be obtained by trading 30 Mini medals in the {{SFC}} version, or 35 [[Mini medal]]s to King Dominicus in the remakes. It can also be found on the [[Nadiria]] and Stark Raving Mad [[Treasures n' Trapdoors|T'n'T board]]s. It can be sold for 26250 {{Gold}}, which is the most [[gold]] per [[Mini medal|medal]] of any of the items that can be acquired from King Dominicus.

The Fallcon blade has an {{Attack}} bonus of +67 and a {{Style}} bonus of +32. It can be upgraded to have a {{Style}} bonus of +60, though it costs 4800 {{Gold}} to do so. [[overkilling machine]]s drop them {{fraction|1|256}} of the time. Falcon blades can be obtained from either the [[Turnscote]] or [[Greedmore Valley]] casinos for 10,000 [[token]]s. The {{Hero 6}}, [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Amos]], [[Terry]], and [[Goowain]] can equip them.

The Falcon blade has an {{Attack}} bonus of +33 and can be equipped exclusively by [[Aurora]]. Its special effect is that it has a 30% chance of causing [[Aurora]] to divide when she attacks, similar to [[Terry]]'s [[Falcon Slash]] ability and [[Alena]]'s Divide and Conquer, and the clone will perform the same attacks as her for a short time. It can be purchased for 25,000 {{Gold}} after the first visit to [[Dawnsholm]].

The Falcon blade is a one-star sword that has +42 {{Attack}} and has a second slash every time it’s swung. It can be equipped by any {{NPC}} that can wield weapons.

The recipe to build the Falcon blade is: x3 Steel ingot, x1 Silvery sludge, and x1 Gold ingot. The recipe can be unlocked by slaying the super-strong [[Hunter mech]] in Rimey Reef.

The in-game description reads: “A feather-light falchion that strikes twice like swooping hawk. {{Attack}} +42. Strikes twice with each attack.” The only difference between the description of each sword is the attack; with the one-star Falcon Blade saying, “{{Attack}} +42.”, and the three-star Falcon Blade saying, “{{Attack}} +126.”.
