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 counterattack 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.
