The '''Viskam''' (Japanese: {{lang|ja|{{hover|ヴィスカム|Bisukamu}}}} ''Viskam'') is an automatic turret weapon akin to [[ballista]]e that appears in {{FE16}}, and is employed exclusively by [[those who slither in the dark]]. It deals damage based on [[Magic (stat)|Magic]] instead of [[Strength]], meaning it targets the enemy's [[Resistance]] much like the [[Fire Orb]]. Viskam appear as map objects that cannot be destroyed, though they can be deactivated by [[Pittacus|defeating a specific enemy]] or by pressing a particular switch on the map. Unlike other turret types like the [[Ballista (weapon)|Ballista]] and [[Launcher]], Viskam inflict damage only to the targeted enemy.

The Viskam (Japanese: ヴィスカム Viskam) is an automatic turret weapon akin to ballistae that appears in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and is employed exclusively by those who slither in the dark.
