Astra is a skill that debuted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.

Overview

This skill allows the user to perform five consecutive strikes, and is also linked to Isaach's royal family (with all members of that family able to use the skill). This skill is also known as Dragon Saint in TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga.

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the skill returns as the Occult skill of the Swordmaster class, but downgraded each attack to deal only half of the intended damage to the enemy. It appears once again in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, where the promotion of a Swordmaster to the Trueblade class will result in this skill being bestowed upon the user, granting him/her the chance to perform a series of five consecutive strikes at full damage.

It appears again in Fire Emblem Awakening, in its half damage incarnation, learned at level 5 by Swordmasters, but now only using one weapon durability.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Astra appears as a mastery Combat Art exclusive to the Swordmaster rather than a randomly triggered skill effect, with an activation cost of 9 durability and a more significant penalty to damage than previous titles, as well as an accuracy penalty. Critical hits, crests, as well as skills that have a chance of proc'ing (such as Lethality), are accounted for each individual hit.

In all of the skill's appearances, dodge is rolled for each attack made, and defense is applied to each hit.

In Fire Emblem Heroes, Astra appears as a Special skill with a cooldown charge of 4. When it activates, Astra increases the damage dealt by that attack by 150%.
