Skadi

Skadi The Skadi as it appears in Heroes. Ddg+20. A magic bow from the Outrealm. Projects a simulacrum of the wielder.

Type Yumi First game Fire Emblem Fates

Skadi (Japanese: スカディ Skadi) is an enemy-exclusive yumi that debuted in Fire Emblem Fates. It is wielded by Takumi as the final boss of the Conquest campaign's Endgame. It is claimed in its description to originate from the Outrealms, and is attributed to be the source of the replica of Takumi which is paired up with the real Takumi throughout the chapter.

In the Conquest campaign, Skadi has 1–4 range, ensuring that Takumi can almost always counterattack. Its might is average, but it has high accuracy and boosts its wielder's dodge; however, it has the distinction of being the first weapon in the Fire Emblem series which lowers its user's critical hit rate without outright preventing them from making critical hits, seemingly negating the passive crit-bonus granted by Takumi's Sniper class and allowing the player to engage him with less risk of being dealt an often-lethal critical hit. In the Heirs of Fate DLC series, Takumi wields a slightly weaker version of Skadi with an ordinary yumi range.

Other appearances

Fire Emblem Cipher

Skadi is present as a skill on one of Takumi's cards in Fire Emblem Cipher: B06-098HN Demon-Possessed Prince, Takumi. It is a manual-activation skill which, for a cost of discarding one ally unit in play, enables both Takumi and one other ally to ignore range limitations and attack any enemy unit anywhere on the field until the turn ends.

Trivia

• Skadi's help text is mistranslated; the Japanese text simply states it is from "another world" (異界), which is also the Japanese term for the Outrealms. It uses the same term as the help text of Ganglari, which was translated as "another realm" instead of "the Outrealm".
• Skadi is implied to be a corrupted form of the Fujin Yumi:
  • Both bows share the same basic physical structure.
  • In Fates, the weakened version of Skadi that appears in End: Lost in the Waves shares almost all of its stats with the Fujin Yumi, and only lacks the built-in Acrobat effect.
  • In one castle quote in Heroes, Takumi: Empty Vessel refers to Skadi as his "precious bow" and claims that "it looks different".
  • In Cipher, one of B15-072HN Evil Bow-Bearing Kin, Takumi's skills is called "Corrupted Divine Bow".
• The effect granted by Skadi in Heroes is based on the Conquest endgame, where Takumi can use an area-of-effect attack every two to three turns.
• Although its flavor text claims it is responsible for the Replica of Takumi that is fought alongside him in Conquest endgame, Skadi does not have any related capabilities when hacked into the player's inventory.
