Lancebreaker (Japanese: 剣殺し Lance Slayer) is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Awakening. It gives its user enormous advantages when fighting an enemy who is wielding a lance or naginata. In Awakening and Fates, where it a class skill learned by Griffon Riders and Blacksmiths, 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: Lancebreaker 1, Lancebreaker 2, and Lancebreaker 3. Units with a Lancebreaker skill will, when fighting the user of a lance skill while this skill's user's own HP is at a certain threshold or higher, automatically make a double-attack and prevent the lance skill's user from doing so themselves. The minimum amount of current HP required to activate the skill decreases with each level.
