Bow

First game

Fire Emblem Fates

Niles's Bow (Japanese:ゼロの虐弓Zero's Cruelbow) is abow that debuted inFire Emblem Fates. Named for theNohrian thiefNiles, it possesses middling stats and is unable to kill enemies at all, with lethal hits always leaving them with just onehit point remaining. While it is effectively useless for serious combat, it is a helpful tool for feedingexperience to weaker units, as a stronger unit can use it to cut an enemy's HP down to the point where weaker units can quickly kill them.
