The weapon is bugged in all the game's SNES versions. Equipping the Avenger while in combat does not change the previous weapon's stats to the Avenger's; the character only gets the Berserk status while the previously equipped weapon's Attack Power and elemental properties are preserved. The bug can be used to avoid the Crystal Armor's Berserk protection. On the Easy Type version, it was renamed to Sword of Rage. The attack power was increase to 100.
