Shining Bow

The Shining Bow is a Bow that was initially conceived in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, but officially introduced in Fire Emblem Fates. Across all its incarnations, it deals magic-based damage, making it ideal for bow users with high Mag.

Overview[]

Imbued with the special property of inflicting magical damage, the Shining Bow can be used in close-range combat, although it compensates for these strengths by being incapable of triggering critical hits or offensive skills. The Shining Bow is best paired with characters that have high magic.

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, it was called the Bright Bow. Although the basic functions and details of the bow are finalized, it does not appear in the final version of the game, and can only be acquired with the aid of cheat codes. As its name suggests, the damage dealt by the Bright Bow each time it is drawn is Light magic-based.

In Fire Emblem Fates, along with the Sidelong Yumi, the Shining Bow is one of the only bows that can attack from a range of 1-2. This gives it greater flexibility on the battlefield than most other bows. Compared to the Sidelong Yumi, the Shining Bow has much better might and the ability to double attack; however, the Sidelong Yumi can trigger criticals and activate offensive skills.

In Fire Emblem Warriors, the Shining Bow makes a cameo appearance as the weapon wielded during Sakura's Pair Up Warrior Special, and vanishes soon after.

In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the Shining Bow is known as the Radiant Bow. It retains the effect of dealing out magical damage and grants the ability to deal effective damage against Terrors via its Combat Art, Celestial Bow.

In the Fódlan Series, the Shining Bow is known as the Magic Bow. While it retains the effect of dealing magical damage, it no longer has the ability to deal effective damage against Monsters. When enhanced by the Blacksmith, the Magic Bow+ is able to hit opponents at 3 range, acting like a Mag-based Longbow.

In Fire Emblem Engage, the Shining Bow is once again called the Radiant Bow, breaking its renaming streak. While it retains the effect of dealing magical damage, it no longer has the ability to attack at 1 range. Upgrading the Radiant Bow increases its Might and Hit Accuracy.
