Usage

Langrisser is a symbol of the Descendants of Light, and their goddess Lushiris. With the power to repel evil it is the perfect weapon to fight the forces of darkness. It is the only weapon that capable of fighting the dark god, Chaos.

Langrisser has another ability, first seen in Der Langrisser on a non canonical path. The sword holds the powaer to summon shade from it memories. When first seen it summon Seighart and Ledin. The mobile game expanded this ability. The shades aren't solely the Descendants of Light but other heroes that have been involved in its history such as Scott or Angelina.

This also includes an idea, as the Army of Swordsmiths is able to summon Böser. Though this is not the real Böser but a shade based on all the memories contained with Langrisser.

The histories contain within the blade aren't just the canonical paths but included the alternative paths that the heroes could have taken. This is shown through Erwin who's spilt apart even showing events not covered in Langrisser II such as an Erwin that ran away from the war.
