"Astra Blade" redirects here. It is not to be confused withAstral Blade, a combat art fromFire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia which is associated with this weapon.

Astra (Japanese:流星Shooting Star) is a weapon first appearing inFire Emblem Gaiden. InGaiden, it is alance which is an extremely rare random drop fromgargoyles. It has an extremely high critical stat of fifty. InFire Emblem Awakening, it is abow with the effect of granting its wielder theAstra skill. InFire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, it is similar to itsGaiden appearance, but is instead a sword. Using it enough times unlocks acombat art known asAstral Blade, which costs ten HP to use but increases hit rate by fifteen and allows the user to strike five times at half power. It is obtained by evolving certainRusted Swords.

InFire Emblem Heroes, the localization instead calls this weaponAstra Blade, and in this game it is apersonal weapon of the Zofia's Call variation ofCatria. In addition to boosting its wielder'sAttack at all times, it also boosts its damage output based on how much higher the user's Attack is than the target'sDefense, with no change in damage output should the target's Defense be the higher value.
