Breath (laguz)
The Breath (Japanese: ブレス Breath) is a laguz strike weapon which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It is the means of attack used by the dragon laguz clans, namely the red dragons, white dragons and black dragons, with all of them exhaling blasts of a power related to them to attack. Each dragon clan has a unique variant of Breath with stats and powers specific to them. In Path of Radiance, all Breath types are restricted to melee combat which can only attack at 1 range, but they were improved in Radiant Dawn to give them the ability to attack at both 1 and 2 range.

Like all strikes, all Breath variants are not affected by durability and, being that they are part of the user's body, they cannot be unequipped, sold, or discarded. In Radiant Dawn, a unit's Breath will improve as their weapon level increases, being replaced by successively more powerful versions until they reach the maximum rank.
