The '''Iron Ballista''' (Japanese: {{hover|アイアンアーチ|Aianāchi}} ''Iron Arch'') is a model of [[ballista]] which was introduced in {{FE4}} and is present in the [[Jugdral]], [[Elibe]], [[Magvel]] and [[Tellius]] {{FES}} games.  It has the highest [[might]] of all ballistae (not counting the unused [[Great Ballista]]) and, in all games from {{title|Thracia 776}} onward, it also has by far the longest [[range]] of any ordinary weapon in the series, offering even greater range than other ballistae.
The '''Iron Ballista''' (Japanese: {{hl|アイアンアーチ|Aian'āchi}} ''Iron Arch''), known as the '''Long Ballista''' (Japanese: {{hl|ロングアーチ|Ronguāchi}} ''Long Arch'') in {{title|The Binding Blade}}, is a model of [[ballista]] which was introduced in {{FE4}} and is present in the [[Jugdral]], [[Elibe]], [[Magvel]] and [[Tellius]] {{FES}} games.  It has the highest [[might]] of all ballistae (not counting the unused [[Great Ballista]]) and, in all games from {{title|Thracia 776}} onward, it also has by far the longest [[range]] of any ordinary weapon in the series, offering even greater range than other ballistae.


In {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} and {{title|Thracia 776}}, Iron Ballistae are - like all ballista variants - enemy-only and are used by [[Iron Ballista (class)|units of a class specific to the weapon]]; in the latter, they cannot be stolen owing to their immense [[weight (weapon)|weight]].  Enemies wielding Iron Ballistae have no [[movement]] and are effectively fixed in place.

Outside of the Jugdral duology, Iron Ballistae are found stationed as objects on certain maps throughout the games, and in maps where they are found can be ridden and used by any [[Archer]] and [[Sniper]] belonging to either army.  In {{title|The Binding Blade}}, Path of Radiance, and {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, Iron Ballistae cannot be moved, while {{title|The Blazing Blade}} and {{title|The Sacred Stones}} instead allow them to be piloted around the map by their rider.
