Three Houses

Battalion Desperation (Japanese:攻め立ての陣Team incessant attack) is anability which debuted inFire Emblem: Three Houses. It is an ability learned by certain units when they raise theirskill level inauthority. As its name suggests, it acts similarly toDesperation in that it reorders any of a unit's follow-up attacks to right after their initial attack. Instead of being activated based on the user'sHP, it instead takes effect when the user'sbattalion has only a third of its endurance remaining. InWarriors: Three Hopes, it is instead associated with theCavalier class and grants the user's strong attacks the ability to break the enemy's guard.
