'''Helswath''' ({{hover|スワンチカ|Suwanchika}} ''Swanchika'') is the [[axe]] once wielded by [[Neir]] of the [[Twelve Crusaders]], bestowed upon him at the [[Miracle of Darna]] after his blood-bond with a dragon. The axe is the property of Neir's descendants, the members of [[Grannvale]]'s House [[Dozel]], and is restricted in use to those in possession of major Neir [[Holy Blood]].

Along with the [[Gungnir]], [[Mjölnir]] and [[Valflame]], Helswath is one of the Crusader weapons completely inaccessible and unusable to the player in ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. Though there are several playable members of the Dozel family ([[Lex]], [[Johan]], [[Johalvier]]), they all have minor Neir blood and are unable to use the axe. It was not until {{title|Awakening}} that Helswath became a playable weapon.

* In {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}}, Helswath ties with the [[Hand Axe]], all siege tomes, all broken weapons and all [[ballista]]e for the status of heaviest weapon in the game, having 30 [[Weight (weapon)|weight]].
* In {{title|Awakening}}, Helswath is the only Jugdrali holy weapon to appear which does not have any of its original wielders from ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' present in the game (bearing in mind that it is possible to have [[Larcei]] or [[Ulster]] wield [[Balmung]] through a glitch if [[Holyn]] is their father).
