—In-game description from Fates.
Skadi is a unique Bow that debuts in Fire Emblem Fates. It is a magic bow from the Outrealm wielded by the possessed Takumi in the Endgame of Conquest and in Heirs of Fate End: Lost in the Waves. Being a Yumi, it raises its wielder's Resistance by 2.
The weapon's flavor text describes a unique effect of automatically creating a replica of the user, as though they had used the Mechanist's Replicate skill, but the bow itself has no such effect programmed in actual gameplay, but a similar effect can happen if the Sniper has the Replicate skill on them at the time.
In Heirs of Fate: End, the bow is weakened and has a normal range of 2.

Etymology[]
In Norse mythology, Skaði (sometimes anglicized as Skadi) is a giantess and goddess associated with bowhunting, skiing, winter and mountains.
Trivia[]
- Unlike Fujin Yumi, Skadi is not character-locked to Takumi as it doesn't state so in its flavor text. It is also one of two late-game enemy-exclusive weapons to share this oddity, the other one being Bölverk. Unlike Skadi however, while Bölverk can be wielded by anyone, the flavor text bizarrely states that only Garon can wield it.
- This means that if someone uses a cheat device or hacks a Fates ROM to acquire Skadi, it can be wielded by the only class in the game that has an S-Rank Bow Level, the Sniper.
- Skadi is the first weapon in the series to lower its wielder's critical hit rate without outright disabling critical attacks, although this is easily nullified by having the skill Crit +20 equipped.
- While not outright stated, the Skadi is implied to be a corrupted form of the Fujin Yumi.
- In Heirs of Fate, it has the exact same stats as the Fujin Yumi with the exclusion of the other yumi's built-in Acrobat ability, furthering similarities between the two yumi.
