Nosferatu (Japanese: リザイア Resire) is a recurring magic tome which debuted in Fire Emblem Gaiden, and has appeared in all installments of the Fire Emblem series except Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and its remake Shadow Dragon. In every appearance, it has an HP drain effect - the damage the tome deals to the enemy is used to restore health back to its caster. While in the majority of appearances the amount of HP recovered is equal to the damage dealt to the enemy, some games modify the amount of recovered HP to half the damage dealt.
Throughout the series, Nosferatu has been given multiple weapon types, some seemingly contradictory with each other. It originated as a black magic spell in Gaiden exclusively used by Clerics and Saints, and is a general tome visually depicted as a holy spell in Mystery of the Emblem and its remake. It was formally classified as a light tome in Genealogy of the Holy War when split magic types were introduced, and remained so in Thracia 776, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. However, it is instead a dark tome in The Binding Blade, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, The Sacred Stones, Awakening, and Fates.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U
This article or section is a short summary of Nosferatu. SmashWiki features a more in-depth article. |
Nosferatu is Robin's down special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It is difficult to successfully hit with, but when successful it ensnares and paralyzes its target and rapidly deals small amounts of damage to them so long as they remain ensnared, healing Robin as it does so. It deals more damage when used from behind the foe than it does when used in front of them.
As with all special moves in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Nosferatu has two alternate variations which can be applied to Robin as customization options. These moves are found at random and collected during the course of the game's other modes, such as Classic Mode and Smash Run.
- Distant Nosferatu (Japanese: ロングレンジリザイア Long Range Resire) deals less damage and heals Robin less but has significantly improved range, ensnaring targets a great distance in front of Robin.
- Goetia (Japanese: ゲーティア Goetia) foregoes the healing effect completely and is instead a more powerful attack. When it starts up it has a vacuum effect, which draws foes into its grasp.
Nosferatu and both of its variants are, like all of Robin's special moves, affected by the character's unique durability mechanic. They can only be used four times before they break, after which point Robin must wait forty seconds before they become usable again.
TCG Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher)
Nosferatu is present as a skill on one card in Fire Emblem Cipher: B08-055N Tragic Princess, Julia. It is a trigger skill which comes into play automatically whenever Julia defeats an opposing unit. Doing so gives Julia a +10 attack increase until the end of the opponent's next turn.
Trivia
- Nosferatu has been classified as more different weapon types than any other weapon in the Fire Emblem series.
- In Gaiden, Nosferatu is the only non-Falchion weapon which can harm Duma once he reaches 52 or less HP. This is assumed to be the result of a programming oversight: Duma is coded to force all non-Falchion attacks to have zero accuracy no matter what once he reaches this HP threshold, however this somehow fails to take into account Nosferatu's hard-coded absolute 50% hit rate, and so Nosferatu retains its 50% hit rate when fighting Duma.[1] If a Nosferatu user kills Duma, the ending plays normally but has slight graphical glitches since it expects Alm to be the one to kill him.
- Nosferatu's Gaiden form, based on its effect and learnbase, is often mistaken by some parts of the fandom as being white magic.
