Maelstrom (Japanese: 風切り Wind Cut) is a combat trigger skill exclusive to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It is a personal skill that can be taught only to hawks and ravens. It allows its user to counter-attack enemies who attack them indirectly, something bird laguz are otherwise unable to do, by retaliating with a single blow equal to its user's strength stat which does not take the might of their beak or talon into account.
