Guide's Hourglass (Japanese: 導きの教師の砂時計 Guiding teacher's hourglass) is a weapon skill in the blue tome category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; it is a personal weapon of the Khadein variant of Byleth. Guide's Hourglass conditionally allows its user to ignore difficult terrain, reduces the damage they take, boosts their stats and those of nearby allies, and prevents effects from increasing a foe's or decreasing the user's special skill cooldown charges.
