Expiration
| ||||
|
Expiration (Japanese: 邪竜のブレス Evil Dragon's Breath) is a breath-type attack that first appeared in Fire Emblem Awakening. It is exclusively used by the Fell Dragon Grima, in his appearances as the final boss of Awakening and as "The Creation" in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Being the weapon of a final boss, it is among the most dangerous weapons in both games, possessing both significant raw power and a very long range. Additionally, Shadows of Valentia gives it the ability to ignore its target's defenses, like all breath weapons in that game.
In Awakening, Expiration has two distinct animations, which appear to be chosen completely at random every time Grima attacks and do not differ in terms of stats. One has Grima's human body summon a trail of purple spikes out of the ground to impale his foe, while the other has Grima breathe a shadowy fireball from his dragon head. This property is similar to how Idenn's Dark Breath has three separate animations. In Shadows of Valentia, it only appears as the shadowy fireball, although The Creation still uses the spikes separately as its Dark Spikes combat art.

- If hacked into the player's inventory in Awakening, it is sorted in the stones section of the convoy. This is presumably due to the convoy not having a breath category.

Expiration |
Originally, "expiration" referred to the act of breathing out, the opposite of "inspiration" (breathing in). In modern English, this meaning is obsolete and "expiration" instead describes the act of dying or, more commonly, the spoiling of food. Grima's attack plays on both senses of the word. |
