Like the other weapons that you can equip in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Hero Relic Weapons have durability. Unfortunately, many of them have a much lower durability that your basic weapons, however they are much more powerful. Because of this, we highly recommend holding off on using your Hero Relic Weapons unless you’re facing off against a tough enemy. When a Relic Weapon’s durability is depleted, you’ll also have the chance to repair it, though each one will require different items to raise the durability once more.
