First game

Path of Radiance

Galdrar (Japanese:呪歌謡いGaldrar), previously calledCanto (Japanese:再行動Act Again), is askill exclusive to theheron laguz of theTellius duology. Acting as a direct analog to theDance skill of other games, it allows the three herons—Reyson,Rafiel andLeanne—to use theirgaldrar, their tribe's magic chants. Their primary utility in both games is to refresh allied units who have already moved and thus allow them another turn of combat. InFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Galdrar can also perform other functions to assist the heron's allies, which are progressively unlocked as the user gain morelevels.

Fire Emblem Cipher

Galdrar is present as a skill on one card inFire Emblem Cipher:B03-045R Prince of Serenes, Reyson. It is a manual-activation skill which, for the cost of flipping two bond cards and tapping Reyson to expend his turn, allows the player to untap one unit who has already moved, allowing them another turn. It behaves identically to theDance skill present onPhina andOlivia's cards, except that if the unit Galdrar is used on is not a fang-wielding unit, then Galdrar also inflicts a -10 attack penalty on them.

Trivia

  • InPath of Radiance, it is possible to remove this skill fromReyson; doing so would permanently eliminate his unique utility and cannot be recovered. This is not possible inRadiant Dawn, where the Galdrar skill is an innate ability of theHeron class which cannot be removed.
