Bow

First game

Fire Emblem Fates

Niles's Bow (Japanese: ゼロの虐弓 Zero's Cruelbow) is a bow that debuted in Fire Emblem Fates. Named for the Nohrian thief Niles, it possesses middling stats and is unable to kill enemies at all, with lethal hits always leaving them with just one hit point remaining. While it is effectively useless for serious combat, it is a helpful tool for feeding experience to weaker units, as a stronger unit can use it to cut an enemy's HP down to the point where weaker units can quickly kill them.
