Last Fencer

The Last Fencer (ラストフェンサー, Rasutofensaa^?) is a recurring powerful sword in the Tales series, often serving as a very strong sword for various characters but it is mainly served as Reid Hershel's, Kratos Aurion's and Zelos Wilder's strongest weapon of choice.

Weapon Description and History[]

The Last Fencer debuted in Tales of Eternia as a powerful sword weapon that is obtained in a side quest. It is given to Reid by Sagura at Imen after obtaining the Galaxy Stone and talking to Zosimos at Balir's Castle. The sword is weaker than the Eternal Sword in terms of raw power but the Time attribute on the latter makes it ineffective against later enemies in the game, thus making the Last Fencer the strongest sword weapon for all purposes. The sword also offers a minor stat boost on Intelligence, Evasion, Luck, and a chance on hit to recover 4% of his max HP.

In Tales of Destiny 2, the Last Fencer is obtained in a chest at the God's Egg. The sword can wielded by either Kyle Dunamis or Judas. It has the slot Relieve 6.

In Tales of Symphonia, the Last Fencer is the strongest sword weapon in the game that can be wielded by Zelos Wilder or Kratos Aurion. The sword, like most other swords, deals additional damage to Human-type enemies. The sword is obtained after defeating Seles Wilder at the Coliseum in Meltokio, possibly hinting the sword is a family heirloom of the Wilder family.

In Tales of Breaker, the Last Fencer is the second strongest sword weapon that can be wielded by Evelyn. It is obtained at the Imperial City of Liliericht in Chapter 6.

The Last Fencer in Tales of Legendia is a sword weapon that is available to Chloe Valens and can be bought in the shop at Werites Beacon for 15,000 gald. Like in Tales of Symphonia, the sword allows Chloe to inflict more damage to Human-type enemies.

In Tales of the Abyss, the Last Fencer is a sword weapon that can only be obtained via special request at Din's Shop in Chesedonia. The sword can be wielded by Luke fon Fabre and Guy Cecil. In the cameo battle at Baticul's coliseum, Reid also wields the Last Fencer as his main weapon.

A corrupted version of the Last Fencer, named Chaos Fencer (カオスフェンサー, Kaosufensaa^?) is a ★4 weapon that taught Alexei Dinoia the arte Violent Pain. With the introduction of zero artes, the Last Fencer also appeared as two ★0 weapons that taught Kratos the arte Kou Majinken and the arte Majinken Kouga to Reid. Both versions can also be a weapon skin.
