Niles's Bow



Niles's Bow (ゼロの虐弓, ) is a special weapon of the Bow variety with an inherit Wingslayer attribute. It is the signature weapon of the cyclopean Nohrian spymaster Niles.

Niles's Bow is unlocked after S-Rank Clearing the Lv. 26 Pincer Escape battle in Cold Reception, a History Mode map from the Fates DLC Pack.

=History= Niles's Bow appears like how it did in Fire Emblem Fates, where it is a reskin of the Steel Bow. In Fates, Niles's Bow is very much like it's sadistic master, leaving a enemy unit at 1 HP when they should have been killed, while preventing Niles from making any followup attacks and lowering his defenses by 2.

=Gameplay= As a Rank E weapon, Niles's Bow can be wielded by Niles as soon as the player unlocks the bow, and has a decent Might of 80. As a weapon with six available slots, Niles's Bow allows an amount of flexibility with what weapon attributes to forge into the bow. However, with a natural Wingslayer slot for its seventh slot, Zero's Bow forces players to forge only one foreign slayer-type weapon attribute to the bow.

As it is a personal weapon, it can be upgraded by creating Niles' Mastery Crest and Sanctuary Crest, drastically increasing the weapon's Might, first to 240, then to 720.


 * To obtain Niles's Bow's Scroll, which is needed for Niles' Mastery Crest, the player must S-Rank Clear the Lv. 34 Targeted Elimination battle in Cold Reception. After creating Niles' Mastery Crest, the True Power weapon attribute will be unlocked after 10,000 kills, negating any Might penalty reduction from the player putting a foreign slayer-type weapon attribute via reforging.
 * To obtain Niles's Bow's Opus, which is needed for Niles' Sanctuary Crest, the player must S-Rank Clear the titular boss battle in Cold Reception. After creating Niles' Sanctuary Crest, the Divine Favor weapon attribute will overwrite the True Power attribute, even if True Power is not yet unlocked for Niles's Bow.
