The Ballista (Japanese: ロングアーチ Long Arch) is the basic model of ballista which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and is present in eight games in the Fire Emblem series. True to being a basic mode, Ballistae tend to have the lowest power of the weapon type and tend to have no special effects beyond being effective against flying units.
In Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, Ballistae are—like all ballista variants—enemy-only and are used by units of a class specific to the weapon; in the latter, they cannot be stolen owing to their immense weight. Enemies wielding ballistae have no movement and are effectively fixed in place.
Outside of the Jugdral duology, 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 any Archer and Sniper belonging to either army. In The Binding Blade, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn Ballistae are fixed to a specific tile and cannot be moved, while The Blazing Blade and The 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 Ballista's durability reaches 0, the map object does not disappear and can still be ridden, but is unable to attack owing to its lack of ammunition.
In Fates, Ballistae again appear as map objects which can be used by any unit capable of using bows or yumi. Like the game's other two turret types, the Fire Orb and Launcher, Ballistae inflict damage across multiple tiles in a plus-shaped formation, hitting a maximum of five units at once, and affect both allies and enemies of the turret's user. Different maps tend to have different stats from each other. Ballista objects can be constructed in the player's My Castle for use in castle battles, and the Ballistician class also has its own in-built Ballista which it can access on command.
