{{quote|The master swordsman! Dash, slash, and protect your team with the Hero Shield!|''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' description}}
'''Sword Hero''', also known as '''Blade Hero''',<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLIRVc2aFqE</ref> is one of the four roles that can be taken on in the [[Sub-Game]] [[Team Kirby Clash]] and its expansions, ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''. It is based on [[Sword]], though it bears some noteworthy differences. Unlike the Sword costume, [[Kirby]] is dressed as a knight, with a helmet, sword and shield. In addition, when performing a [[Guard]], Sword Hero Kirby creates a large bubble shield that can protect his teammates as well as himself. Sword Hero Kirby can also revive a fallen teammate using the [[Revival Spell]], but this costs a small amount of [[health]] to perform. Sword Hero Kirby's Spin Slash and Twister Slash, however, do not contain any invincibility frames, compared to that of regular Sword Kirby.
