Luna (weapon)

Luna The Luna Arc as it appears in Heroes.

Type Lance (Gaiden, Awakening) Bow (Shadows of Valentia, Heroes) First game Fire Emblem Gaiden

The Luna (Japanese: 月光 Moonlight) is a weapon first appearing in Fire Emblem Gaiden. In Gaiden, it is a lance which is an extremely rare random drop from fiends. It has the special effect of negating terrain bonuses of the opposing units, which combined with the weapon's very high hit rate makes it sure to hit enemies. In Fire Emblem Awakening, it is a regalia lance with the effect of granting its wielder the Luna skill. In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, it no longer has the effect of negating enemy terrain bonuses. Using it enough times unlocks a combat art known as Lunar Flash, which costs ten HP to use but increases damage output by twelve, hit rate by a massive five hundred, and critical rate by ten. It is obtained by evolving certain Rusted Bows.

In Fire Emblem Heroes, it is known as Luna Arc in the localization, and is an offensive skill in the bow category. It is a personal weapon of the Legendary Hero variation of Alm. The Luna Arc is a skill that, in addition to boosting its user's Speed, allows its user to deal additional damage at the end of user-initiated combat equal to a percentage of the target's Defense, unadjusted by the user's special skills.
