Description	Effective against flying foes. After combat, if unit attacked, deals 7 damage to target and foes within 2 spaces of target, and inflicts Atk/Spd-7 on them through their next actions.

Notes[ | ]

If unit attacked means if the user attacked at any time during combat. They do not need to initiate combat, deal damage, or survive.
- This means that if the foe initiates combat and the user cannot counterattack, the effect will not trigger.
Sniper's Bow inflicts out of combat damage.
- Out of combat damage cannot reduce a unit's HP to 0.
- A foe equipped with Embla's Ward, Múspellflame, Niðavellir Axiom, File:Nine-Realm Pact.png Nine-Realm Pact, or Gold Perfection will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except Røkkr area-of-effect Specials.
- A foe equipped with Røkkr or a unit affected by En Garde will neutralize all sources of out of combat damage except area-of-effect Specials.
The stat decrease that can be applied by Sniper's Bow is considered a Penalty.
- Any 【Penalty】 on a unit lasts until that unit takes an action. If the unit takes multiple actions in a turn, they will only have Penalties for their first action.
  - If the unit also has Grand Strategy, any Penalties will remain active until the start of that unit's next phase.
