Appears in

The Falcon Rune (はやぶさの紋章, Hayabusa no Monshō) is an attack rune which appears in several games of the Suikoden series. It is always permanently attached to a sword fighter.

Information

This rune was used by Valeria, who had received it after training with the famed Roundia Haia in Kanakan. The rune was considered a sign of mastery of Roundia Haia's falcon-style. Anita, who had also trained under Master Haia, also bore this rune. The rune mark itself depicts a falcon speeding through the sky.

Using the rune would slightly decrease the user's hit rate but would allow them to strike quickly and rapidly in quick succession, dealing great damage to the enemy.

Development

The strength and utility of the Falcon Rune is attributed to Murayama Yoshitaka's own favoritism towards Valeria as a character. This favoritism has also been cited as the reason why Valeria has a unique critical hit animation with the rune in Suikoden II while Anita does not.
