A weighty but more powerful lance.

Type

Lance

First game

Fire Emblem Gaiden

The Steel Lance is one of the most common lances in the Fire Emblem series. When compared to the iron and silver versions of this weapon, the steel lance is usually stronger than the iron and has more uses than the silver, but its usefulness may be diminished by its low accuracy and heavy weight.

The steel lance was first featured in Fire Emblem Gaiden, and it has been in all games since then.
