Blizzard (Japanese: ブリザー Blizzar or ブリザード Blizzard) is a magic weapon with an ice aesthetic; its general properties vary from game to game.

In games set on Archanea, Blizzard is a fairly standard low-level tome; it deals bonus damage to Fire Dragons in Mystery of the Emblem, and has a higher critical rate in other games.

In games set on Jugdral and Tellius, Blizzard is long-range wind magic, a counterpart to Bolting and Meteor. As with all other wind magic in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, it deals bonus damage to flying units.

In Fire Emblem Heroes, Blizzard is a green tome skill, and is a personal weapon of Gunnthrá, the eldest princess of Nifl. It boosts its user's resistance, and boosts their attack based on the penalties they are inflicted with.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Blizzard is a low-level black magic spell. In comparison to Fire, Blizzard has lower accuracy and is slightly heavier, but it has a higher critical hit rate.
