First game

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

The Steel Bow is a fairly common bow-type weapon in the Fire Emblem series. It is stronger than the iron bow, but heavier and less accurate than even the silver version of the weapon. As almost all bows, it is effective against flying units.

The steel bow has been available in all games of the series.
