Astra (Japanese: 流星 Shooting Star) is an offensive skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. When activated, the user deals five consecutive strikes. In most appearances each of the five strikes inflicts the normal amount of damage on the enemy, while others have each strike inflict half the usual damage.
Throughout its existence, Astra has been almost completely associated with sword-wielding units, particularly those of the Myrmidon class family. In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, Astra is a personal skill, associated exclusively with members and relatives of the royal family of Isaach. In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, Astra is the mastery skill of the Swordmaster and Trueblade classes. In Awakening and Fates, Astra is again learned only by Swordmasters, but can be possessed by units of any class by using a reclassing seal after learning it.

Other appearances
Fire Emblem Cipher
Both the Astra skill and several unique derivatives of it are present on five cards in Fire Emblem Cipher, all of which feature members of the Isaach royal family:
- Astra itself is present on B06-024SR Astral Blade Princess, Ayra. It is a trigger skill which activates automatically if Ayra's opponent evades an attack. The player is given an opportunity to untap Ayra by paying the cost of flipping one bond card depicting Ayra face-down, if they have one.
- A promotional Ayra card (P06-010PR Peerless Astra, Ayra) possesses the derivative Astrum. After Ayra has moved, the player can choose to pay a cost of 3 bonds to untap her.
- Larcei and Ulster (B08-059R Astral Heavens-Dancer, and B08-057HN Astral Earth-Runner) possess Soul of Astra, which allows the player to, once per turn, spend one bond card to reveal five cards that are on the top of their deck. The skill's user then receives a 20 point boost to their attack for every revealed card that depicts them.
- Larcei (B08-059R Astral Heavens-Dancer) also possesses Polar Astra. If Larcei's attack currently totals 100 or greater as a result of boosts from other units, the player may spend two bond cards to untap her.
- Shanan (B08-076SR Astral Sword Sovereign) possesses Critical Astra, a trigger skill which activates automatically if Shanan executes a critical hit but his opponent evades it. If this happens, the player untaps Shanan with no cost in bonds.
Trivia
- Astra makes the character's strikes green in all of its appearances.
- Unused text strings exist in Path of Radiance that refer to Astra's name from the Jugdral games. It was translated as Starblade in the English version.
