"Noble Arms", known as "Holy Sword" (せいけん Seiken) in Japanese version, is an archetype of Equip Spell Cards that was introduced in Return of the Duelist. It is based around the tales of the Knights of the Round Table and supports the "Noble Knight" archetype. Its first support was introduced in Abyss Rising with the release of "Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn". They all (with the exception of "Excaliburn" and "Gwenhwyfar") share following common effects:

  • Each of them is side-unique.
  • Equip only to a Warrior-Type monster.
  • If this face-up card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up Warrior-Type "Noble Knight" monster you control; equip this card to that target.

All Spells in this archetype, save for "Excaliburn", have artworks that depict swords embedded in stones, a reference to the Arthurian legend of the Sword in the Stone.

Gwenhwyfar, Queen of Noble Arms is the first Noble Arms monster introduced in Legacy of the Valiant.
