—Description from Ultimate's Move List

Failnaught (魔弓 フェイルノート, Demon Bow, Failnaught) is Byleth's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

When the move is used, Byleth pulls out the bow and charges up an arrow to fire. Unlike Link's bow, once the move is inputted, he will go through with the attack rather than prematurely release the arrow. If the button is held, the arrow becomes more powerful.

Origin

This bow is one of the 13 Heroes' Relics in Three Houses, regalia weapons forged from the bones of the Nabateans by "those who slither in the dark", and the personal weapon of Claude von Riegan. While it is in his possession, it grants him the Fallen Star combat art, which is effective against dragon enemies and lets the user avoid all other attacks during the enemy's next round of combat. Failnaught can be wielded by other characters, but it will not grant Fallen Star to those without the Crest of Riegan and those without a Crest will take damage after attacking with it.
