The Killing Edge (キルソード, Kill Sword) is an item from the Fire Emblem series in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was revealed in the Nintendo Direct on August 8, 2018. It is the first and currently only item from the Fire Emblem universe.

Operation

As a battering item, the Killing Edge can be swung to attack opponents, or thrown. Occasionally, its blade briefly glows red, and if the user swings it during this time, the damage and knockback dealt by the attack will be doubled. During these hits, the critical hit sound effect from the Fire Emblem Game Boy Advance titles will play.

The Killing Edge is a sword that recurrently appears in the Fire Emblem series. It is notable as one of several "killer" weapons, a class of weapon that substantially boosts the likelihood of its wielder landing a Critical Hit. In the Fire Emblem series, a critical hit causes a weapon to deal three times its base damage, a trait that is reflected in Smash Bros. in the form of increasing damage and knockback. The Killing Edge's design in Ultimate appears to take inspiration from its appearances in Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword and Fire Emblem Awakening, with the weapon's shape and design resembling its appearance in the former, and the color scheme of the sword hilt resembling its color in the latter.
