Type Dagger Wielder(s) Nina First game Heroes

Shadowy Quill (Japanese: 双夜舞う怪盗の羽根 Dancing phantom thieves' feather) is a weapon skill in the dagger category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; it is a personal weapon of the masked-thief variation of Nina. Shadowy Quill boosts its user's attack at all times; if the user initiates combat or is near any allies, it boosts its user's attack and speed, calculates damage using the lower of the foe's defensive stats, and boosts the user's damage based on their active bonuses or the foe's active penalties; and, after certain actions, it allows its user to move back to the space they were on prior to their actions.
