The Iron Ballista (Japanese: アイアンアーチ Iron Arch), known as the Long Ballista (Japanese: ロングアーチ Long Arch) in The Binding Blade, is a model of ballista which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and is present in the Jugdral, Elibe, Magvel and Tellius Fire Emblem series games. It has the highest might of all ballistae (not counting the unused Great Ballista) and, in all games from Thracia 776 onward, it also has by far the longest range of any ordinary weapon in the series, offering even greater range than other ballistae.
In Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, Iron 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 Iron Ballistae have no movement and are effectively fixed in place.
Outside of the Jugdral duology, Iron 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, Iron Ballistae cannot be moved, while The Blazing Blade and The Sacred Stones instead allow them to be piloted around the map by their rider.
