Ballista

Ballistae are special ranged weaponry on the battlefield which can only be used by Archers and Snipers and can fire bolts over a great distance, dramatically expanding the range of the normal Archer or Sniper. They are very effective against flying units like Pegasus Knights and cannot be countered. In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon ballistae are used by Ballistician to attack.

In the games Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem:Radiant Dawn and others, there are three variations of the Ballista. There are the generic bronze ones, which have normal power, similar like the ones from past Fire Emblem games. The Iron Ballista are slightly stronger in power and the Killer Ballista comes with an upped critical percentage, increasing the chance of taking out enemy units with one strike.
