Ragnell is, alongside its sister sword, Alondite, blessed by the goddess Ashera, and was originally wielded by the first Apostle, Altina, to vanquish Yune. In Path of Radiance, the Ragnell also negates critical hits, except for those caused by the Wrath skill. This attribute is especially useful in Path of Radiance, giving Ike a ranged attack option despite solely wielding swords, which are generally only melee range. The sword is also able to be used at range.
Ragnell boasts high values in both Might and Hit Rate, meaning it is both a damage dealing and accurate weapon for Ike. Statistically similar to its sibling blade, Alondite, the main differences between the two are appearance and the fact that Ike is the only one who can wield Ragnell, while Alondite does not have a character lock after leaving the Black Knight's possession. It also appears in Fire Emblem Fates, locked in the Ike amiibo's inventory. The sword also appears in Fire Emblem Awakening as a weapon primarily wielded by Priam, a self-claimed descendant of Ike. Ragnell (ラグネル Raguneru) is the personal Sword of Ike, and originates from the Tellius Series of Fire Emblem.
