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, 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.
