Type Breath Wielder(s) Medeus First game Heroes

Shadow Breath (Japanese: 暗黒地竜のブレス Dark earth dragon breath) is a weapon skill in the breath category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; it is a personal weapon of Medeus. Shadow Breath boosts attack and resistance and neutralizes non-combat, non-area-of-effect damage for its user and nearby allies at the start of the user's turn, and lowers the attack and resistance of a foe that initiates combat or has high HP and denies the foe a follow-up attack.
