Sacred arrow

are most often used by someone with a high-level of spiritual power. An arrow must be charged with the wielder's power before being shot at the enemy. Although it is not considered a very accurate attack, it is very powerful.

Sacred arrows are the weapons of choice for the miko Kikyō, Kaede, and Kagome. They are powerful enough to force the yōkai sword Tessaiga to transform from its full-fledged form to its dormant katana state. Kagome has even shown that this attack can be combined with the Tessaiga's attacks, and multiply the amount of damage done.

They are hinted to be made from the spiritual tree Goshinboku, fallen branches, or souls. The Sacred Arrow is at many times seen to be molded with dirt or part of a corpse to slay a certain hanyō, daiyōkai, yōkai, etc.
