First Seen Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War Weapon Type Axe Most common Weapon Rank * Units with Neir (Major) Holy Blood Only Uses 50

The Helswath (スワンチカ, Swanchika in the Japanese version) is one of the holy weapons in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and was the weapon of Neir. It grants its wielder +20 Defense and +10 Resistance, and only units with Major Neir blood may use it. It is always used against you, by Langobalt in Chapter 5, and Burian in the Final Chapter, but Danan has the potential to use the axe, even if he doesn't.

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, it is obtainable through the storyline in Chapter 22, An Ill Presage, and is weilded by Tigris. Additional Helswath are available in the DLC chapter, Infinite Regalia.
