First game

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

The Steel Bow (Japanese: 鋼の弓 Steel Bow) is a common bow which is available in every game of the Fire Emblem series. As one of the steel series of weapons, it is the mid-range bow and is more powerful than the Iron Bow, while still being inferior to the Silver Bow in might, weight, and accuracy. Like almost all bows, it is effective against flying units.

Fire Emblem Cipher

The Steel Bow is a common skill in Fire Emblem Cipher which is present on four cards, all of which depict unpromoted bow-wielding units: B01-014N Ungaggled Bowman, Gordin, B01-063N Aristocratic Archer, Virion, B05-012N Archer of House Pherae, Wolt, and B06-041N Pirate of Orgahil, Briggid. It is a manual-activation skill which, for a cost of flipping 1 bond card, gives the user a +10 attack increase until the end of the turn.
