First game

Engage

Cataclysm (Japanese:ディザスターDisaster) is askill which debuted inFire Emblem Engage. It isEmblem Soren'sengage attack, and can only be used once per engaged state. When activated, the user deals three consecutive strikes to a foe and foes within a one space radius to them with fire, thunder, and wind magic. As an engage attack, it can have additional effects depending on the unit type of the user.

When a unit engaged with Soren is adjacent to an ally synced or engaged with EmblemIke, the skill becomesCataclysm+, an identical version of the skill that also damages foes within a two space radius of the target.
