The Horseslayer (also known as Knight Killer or Ridersbane) is a fairly common lance-type weapon in the Fire Emblem series. While it is not that powerful, its main advantage is its bonus damage against horseback units, such as cavaliers and paladins.
The horseslayer made its first appearance in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and it has been available in all games of the series but Awakening, where it is replaced by the Beast Killer.
