TheKiller Ballista (Japanese:キラーアーチKiller Arch), known as theKillerB inPath of Radiance, is a model ofballista present in theJugdral,Elibe,Magvel andTelliusFire Emblem series games. The Killer Ballista typically hasMight falling between that of theregular Ballista and theIron Ballista, but has a higher critical rate.
InGenealogy of the Holy War, Killer Ballistae are—like all ballista variants—enemy-only and are used byunits of a class specific to the weapon. Enemies wielding killer ballistae have nomovement and are effectively fixed in place.
Outside of the Jugdral duology, Killer Ballistae are found stationed as objects on certain maps throughout the games, and in maps where they are found can be ridden and used by anyArcher andSniper belonging to either army. InThe Binding Blade, Path of Radiance andRadiant Dawn, Killer Ballistae are fixed to a specific tile and cannot be moved, whileThe Blazing Blade andThe Sacred Stones instead allow them to be piloted around the map by their rider, albeit limited by being unable to traverse anything other than a normal floor or plain. Once the Killer Ballista'sdurability reaches 0, the map object does not disappear and can still be ridden, but is unable to attack owing to its lack of ammunition.
