Ragnell

Ragnell is Ike's sword. Although it is a two-handed sword, he can wield it with only one as a testament to his strength.

The sword is used in all four of Ike's Special Moves as well as most of his standard attacks.

It has the ability to release a shockwave for long range combat, but this ability does not appear to be usable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but it does appear to have replaced this ability with a fire element, as it never had the power to release fire in the Radiance series.

Origin[]

In the Fire Emblem games, Ragnell is a holy blade blessed by the Goddess Ashera, along with its partner, Alondite, which is wielded by the Black Knight. Ragnell and Alondite clash against each other, along with their respective wielders, in their rivalry throughout both games set on Tellius. Both swords are the most powerful in the game and have ranged attacks. In the ancient past of Tellius, Ragnell and Alondite were the twin blades of the Beorc warrior woman, Altina.

Trivia[]

Ragnell is very similar to a Zweihänder.
Ragnell's weight is not very exaggerated--the more basic or common swords in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn have a weight rating of somewhere around 10. Ragnell is at a hefty 20.
Even though Ragnell is heavy and even visually slows down Ike in Brawl, he is able to lift and wield it in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn with absolutely no difficulty (provided his strength is at least 20, which should normally occur long before Ike gains access to it), swinging the heavy weapon with lightning fast reflexes.
