The Ice Sword is a huge upgrade over every Weapon you've seen so far, both in terms of Damage and Hit Rate. Though found first, the Ice Sword is significantly more powerful than the Flame Sword—it is a bit strange to be using it in the Ice Cave, but it's quite effective. It also makes an excellent Weapon for your RedMAGE, potentially granting them a third attack before any other Weapon. Just for good measure, you'll find a second Ice Sword in the Castle of Ordeal.

The Ice Brand is a huge upgrade over the Mythril Sword and Mythril Axe, both in terms of Attack and Accuracy. Not only that, but its Ice-elemental attack makes it even more effective against many enemies in Mt. Gulg. Though found first, the Ice Brand is significantly more powerful than the Flame Sword, and should be used in its place unless fighting an enemy the Flame Sword is specifically strong against. It also makes an excellent Weapon for your Red Mage, potentially granting them a third attack before any other Weapon. Just for good measure, you'll find a second Ice Brand in the Citadel of Trials.
Stay cool even in summer with this magical blade forged from unmelting ice! Brrr!

The Ice Brand is a fantastic new sword, significantly more powerful than the Flame Sword. Sadly you get it after you've already fought the Fire Gigas, but it's still a solid basic-use sword until you find the Defender in the Cyclone.
