Steel Bow

“A weighty but more powerful bow.”
—In-game description, Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem.

The Steel Bow is the second-most common Bow that exists in the Fire Emblem series. This Bow awards more Weapon Experience to its wielder than the Iron Bow does. An enemy-exclusive close-ranged version of the weapon, the Steel Shortbow (鋼の近撃弓 lit. Steel Proximity Bow), also appears in Fire Emblem Fates.

The Bow is no exception to the standard relationship shared between Iron and Steel weapons, in the sense that the latter is both stronger and more expensive than the former. Despite this, however, the fact that the Steel Bow is heavier and less accurate than the Iron Bow sometimes renders the extra power that it possesses to be redundant. To this end, most bow users are better off wielding either Iron Bows or Short Bows until they become strong enough to equip heavier bows without suffering any Attack Speed penalties.
