Game(s)

Bowbreaker (Japanese: 弓殺し Bow Slayer) is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Awakening. It gives its user enormous advantages when fighting an enemy who is wielding a bow or yumi. In Awakening, it is a class skill learned by Bow Knights; in Fates, it is a class skill learned by Sorcerers; while in Three Houses, it is the class mastery skill of the Warlock. It provides enormous boosts to its user's hit rate and avoid when fighting these weapons.

In Heroes, it is a type B passive skill split into three levels, in order from lowest to highest: Bowbreaker 1, Bowbreaker 2, and Bowbreaker 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.
