Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The Erdrick's shield is used by the Hero if the player selects the protagonist of the third game. A Mii Swordfighter can also carry the shield if they are using Erdrick's equipment.

Trivia[edit]

  • The shield originally bore a different set of runes when it was known as the Hero's shield, meaning Erdrick inscribed his title upon it some time after his journey came to an end.
