The Horseslayer (ナイトキラー Naitokirā, lit. Knight Killer), also known as the Horse Killer in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and the Ridersbane in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, is a Lance that recurrently appears across the Fire Emblem series. Like the weapon's name suggests, it is one that is notable for its ability to inflict effective damage against units that are mounted on horseback. In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, the Horseslayer is not effective against Nomads and Nomadic Troopers.
