Guard Bow
| ||||
|
Guard Bow (Japanese:遠距離防御の弓Distant Defense Bow) is a weaponskill in thebow category which debuted inFire Emblem Heroes. Guard Bow is a skill that grants its wielder additional defenses when fighting against other ranged weapon skill types, allowing its wielder to survive better against fellow ranged attackers.
It can be created from theAssassin's Bow through use of theWeapon Refinery. Notably, the Guard Bow is the only evolved weapon that does not either contain its predecessor's name within its own name in Japanese or share an effect with the weapon it is evolved from.
