Crusader Blade

The Crusader Blade (撃剣クルセイダーGekiken Kuruseidaa, literally meaning "Fencing: Crusader") is a Blade introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It resembles a medieval sword used by knights and soldiers in The Crusades. This weapon has a hand-guard, much like medieval swords. Its barrel is flat, which also maintains its sword-like appearance. The Crusader Blade specializes in defense, with most of its shots able to nullify enemy fire.

Idol Description
''The horizontal stock crossing the barrel is packed with a substance that generates this weapon's wide-ranged shots. These shots have the strong potential for nullifying enemy fire, and the weapon's weight makes its melee attacks powerful.''
