In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the world is built around the existence of Crests and Heroes' Relics. While Crests are the rare and valued powers that are passed down by noble bloodlines, Heroes' Relics are the fourteen unique weapons that accompany their respective Crest.
Each Hero's Relic is one-of-a-kind and possesses special abilities in addition to the extra strength they provide the wielder. Though some Heroes' Relics boast pure power and others are more defensive, each is strong in their own way.

The Rafail Gem is one of several Heroes' Relics that are not weapons. Rather, the Gem is an accessory of the Crest of Lamine that is given to Mercedes from the Death Knight. Because Mercedes is more suited as a healing unit than an offensive one, the Rafail Gem is perfect for her. With it, she can effectively minimize her defensive weaknesses, prevent critical hits from landing on her, and only take half damage.

The Fetters of Dromi is one of two Heroes' Relics that is obtainable in the Cindered Shadows DLC. As the Lost Relic of the Crest of Aubin, it is an accessory designed for Yuri of the Ashen Wolves. Like the Rafail Gem, the Fetters of Dromi is not a weapon with strength but can instead provide the holder with more movement per turn while also halving the damage taken.

As its name suggests, the Aegis Shield is the most defensive Heroes' Relic. It can be obtained in Felix's paralogue if all the villagers are saved. While this shield does not help in the offensive department, it's perfect for Felix who is naturally very offensive and could use more bulk. The Aegis Shield not only raises the wielder's defense but also greatly reduces the amount of damage taken.

Thyrsus is the only magic staff amongst the Heroes' Relics. While it pairs well with any magic-user, it's best when in the hands of Lysithea or Lorenz, who both possess the Crest of Gloucester. On its own, Thyrsus does not have any attack power, but it does provide more range for magic attacks. This is perfect for mages who can benefit from attacking from a distance.

Like the Fetters of Dromi, the Vajra-Mushti gauntlets come from the Cindered Shadows DLC. They are passed down through the Crest of Chevalier, and are the only Heroes' Relic to come in the form of gauntlets. Though they have the weakest Might stat at 7, gauntlets naturally have the power to hit more times than standard weapons, which is where the Vajra-Mushti's true power lies.

Blutgang is the magic sword of Marianne's Crest, the Crest of the Beast. Although Marianne is not a viable swordsman, her Heroes' Relic hits with the magic that she excels in. With a Might stat of 13, Blutgang is not the strongest Relic out there, but it does have fairly good accuracy and lightweight in comparison to the other Relics.

Thunderbrand is a unique sword that is obtained when Catherine, one of the Knights of Seiros, is recruited. It is the Hero's Relic that gave Catherine the nickname, Thunderstrike Cassandra. Similar to gauntlets, Thunderbrand has a lower Might of 13 but allows the wielder to attack multiple times before their opponent, which opens the door for a quick kill.

As the bearer of the Crest of Flames, Byleth, the main character, is given the Sword of the Creator to use. It initially has the weakest Might at 7 but later gets an upgrade into the powerful Sublime Creator Sword. With the upgrade, the sword has a decent Might of 15, but what makes it so handy is that it's one of the few swords that can be utilized from a distance.

Luin is the lance that is most commonly associated with Ingrid and the Crest of Daphnel. With a Might of 17 and a high Hit rate of 90, Luin is one of the most reliable Heroes' Relics in terms of landing hits. In addition, Luin's Combat Art, Burning Quake, adds plenty of power and increases the Critical hit rate for Ingrid to thrive.

Crusher is a magic axe that is best suited for Annette who excels in both magic and axes. Because she bears the Crest of Dominic, Annette also has access to the Crusher's Combat Art, Dust. With Dust, an extra 20 Might is added to Crusher's already high Might of 18.

As the Hero's Relic of Claude, Failnaught is a bow with a Might of 18 and a special effect to go along with it. Failnaught's Combat Art, Fallen Star, not only adds Might and Hit rate but also protects Claude from all attacks during the enemy's phase of that turn.

Dimitri's Hero's Relic, Areadbhar, has a Might of 19 and is paired with one of the most powerful Combat Arts in the game. The Combat Art, Atrocity, makes Areadbhar super effective against any and all foes, which practically means it has no weaknesses.

Initially in the hands of Sylvain's crestless brother, Miklan, the Lance of Ruin proved that not everyone can wield Heroes' Relics effectively. Once the lance is in Sylvain's possession, its true strength shows in its impressive 22 Might stat and Combat Art, Ruined Sky.

There's a reason why Hilda is known to be such a monster on the battlefield, and it has a lot to do with her Crest's Hero's Relic, Freikugel. With the second-highest Might of all Heroes' Relics at 23, Freikugel gladly assists Hilda in taking down any enemy in sight.

The strongest Hero's Relic in-game is Edelgard's personal Axe, Aymr. Technically, it's not actually a Hero's Relic - or, at least, the game doesn't consider it to be one. It's not known why this might be, but there are two major theories. First, Linhardt speculates in one conversation that humans have had lots of Heroes' Relics but that some have been lost to time - so Aymr might be one of these. The second theory is that Aymr was crafted by Those Who Slither In The Dark specifically for Edelgard after their experiment was successful and she bore two Crests.
