Guardian Fang (Japanese: 新年の戦猫の爪牙 New Year's War Cat Claws and Fangs) is a weapon skill in the beast category which debuted in Fire Emblem Heroes; it is a personal weapon of the New Year's variation of Lethe. If its user has more speed than their foe, Guardian Fang boosts the damage the user deals and reduces the damage they take based on the difference between the user's and foe's speeds.
