Genealogy of the Holy War

Canto (Japanese:再移動Move Again), known asmove again inThe Blazing Blade[1] andCanter inEngage, is a fieldskill which technically debuted inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War as a hidden skill; it was not untilFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn that it became a visible skill and gained a proper name.

In all its appearances beforeEngage, it is a skill exclusive to mounted and/or flying units. After such a unit moves and completes an action, if they have not used up their fullmovement range in that one go, it allows the user to move again and use up any leftovermovement distance. InRadiant Dawn, and technically all of its non-Engage appearances, the skill is locked and cannot be removed from units possessing it under any circumstances.

InEngage, Canter appears as a skill with two tiers, and for the first time is not tied to a class, but instead toSigurd'sEmblem Ring. It is acquired by either equipping the ring or inheriting it from him. Thus, it can be used by anyone regardless of class, and mounted classes inEngage do not have access to it by default. Additionally, it no longer involves the user's leftover movement range, and now simply allows the user to move two or three extra spaces after acting, depending on the skill's tier.

Canto in theGame Boy Advance games is subject to certainglitches.
In the Game Boy Advance and Tellius games, the remaining movement a unit has for Canto is determined as if they took the most efficient path to their tile, even if the path the player drew was less efficient; inThree Houses, the remaining movement for Canto is calculated using the path drawn, not the most efficient path possible.

Trivia

  • The text that appears inFire Emblem: Three Houses when Canto activates says "Move Again", which is this skill's Japanese name.

Etymology and other languages

Names, etymology, and in other regions
LanguageNameDefinition, etymology, and notes
English

• Canto
• Move Again
• Canter

• Italian, Spanish, Portuguese: singing, chanting. This name is used inRadiant Dawn andThree Houses. As it shares its name with theCanto skill fromPath of Radiance, Canto may have gotten its name from being confused with it, since that Canto's Japanese name (Japanese:再行動act again) is very similar to this Canto's Japanese name.
• Explicitly used as the name of the ability inThe Blazing Blade,[1] and also used (though only as a verb) inThe Sacred Stones.[2]
• This name is used inEngage. Acanter is a medium-speed gait used by horses. It is faster than a trot, but slower than a gallop, which is the fastest gait. The name may have been chosen due to its similarity to the previous name "Canto".
