Primordial Breath (Japanese: 神祖竜のブレス Divine Ancestral Dragon's Breath) is a weapon skill in the breath category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; it is a personal weapon of the Legendary Hero variant of female Corrin. When the foe initiates combat or has full HP, Primordial Breath boosts its user's stats and increases their special cooldown charge per strike.
