Bowbreaker vs. Colored Bows

So I have been using L!ucina in this tempest trials, and occasionally, I would encounter a Setsuna, who is equipped with Bowbreaker. Oddly enough, my L!ucina can double that Setsuna at full HP, where Bowbreaker should be active (note that my L!ucina just has her base kit and no way to circumvent Bowbreaker by any means).

I don't think this is intentional, but rather a bug since IS hasn't thought about updating that skill when they introduced the new weapon types. I am wondering how this was left unnoticed for so long though, as the problem probably occured with L!yn as well. Can someone who has her confirm this?

Or do you think it was intentional since colored bows are still pretty exclusive? If not - do you know how and where I can send IS a bug report so that it may get fixed? I think it is kind of unfair you can't protect yourself from being doubled by L!ucina, especially since her stats and unique skills are strongly built for offense.

If unit's HP ≥ 50% in combat against a colorless bow user, unit makes a follow-up attack and foe cannot.

The skill specifically implies "colorless bows" so Colored bows won't be affected by Bowbreaker and it has been some time since L!Lyn was first released and no tweet from IS about(if it was a bug it would have been tweeted about week after it was discovered) so it's not a bug. And I doubt they will release Colored bow breakers since Colored bows are SUPER rare and is a niche also unless they name it "Colored bowbreaker" most likely it will be "red/green/blue bow breaker" which will make the colored bow breaker skills much more limited to use.

I think the reason why was to prevent any reverse triangle advantages. Say L!Lucina had Bowbreaker against L!Lyn, Lucina would be able to double despite having triangle disadvantage. To prevent the very rare and small possibility of it ever happening, they made it colourless instead. A quick and easy fix would be to buff tomebreakers but making them rangebreakers.

It's this. As of now there's only one occasion where a unit can have a Breaker skill against something with triangle advantage against it, and that's when a colorless unit has an [X] tomebreaker skill fighting against an [X]raven tome user.

Yeah, I suppose that's true. Colourless is most neutral against everything. It can counter and be countered by other colourless and/or other colours. While Coloured weapons can't be currently have reverse triangle advantage (Green having the larger advantage against a red).
