Bowbreaker (Japanese:弓殺しBow Slayer) is askill which debuted inFire Emblem Awakening. It gives its user enormous advantages when fighting an enemy who is wielding abow oryumi. InAwakening, it is a class skill learned byBow Knights; inFates, it is a class skill learned bySorcerers; while inThree Houses, it is the class mastery skill of theWarlock. In these games, it provides boosts to its user'shit rate andavoid when fighting these weapons.

InHeroes, it is a type B passive skill split into three levels, in order from lowest to highest:Bowbreaker 1,Bowbreaker 2, andBowbreaker 3. Units with a Bowbreaker skill will, when fighting the user of a colorless bow skill while this skill's user's own HP is at a certain threshold or higher, automatically make a follow-up attack and prevent the bow skill's user from doing so themselves. The minimum amount of current HP required to activate the skill decreases with each level. Bowbreaker will only activate against colorless bow users, and will not activate against red, green, or blue bow users.

InFire Emblem Engage, the skill retains its effect fromHeroes, though it does not have multiple versions and activates by remaining above half health. In this game, it is one of several skills that are exclusively used by some high-level enemies on the game's hardest difficulty mode,Maddening. Bowbreaker and all other "breaker" skills are exclusive to enemyPaladins.
