First game

Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem

The Iron Bow is one of the most common and basic Bows in the Fire Emblem series, first appearing in Mystery of the Emblem and appearing in every game since. When compared to other bows, it has low might, but its great durability and accuracy make it a reliable weapon. It is effective against flying units, such as pegasus knights and wyvern riders.
