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.

According to the first link, Viskam have 50 durability, but no durability is listed in the second link and is not active in enemy Viskam.-->

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The Viskam is actually comprised of two parts; a solid ballista object coded to use the Viskam weapon when employed, and a hidden invisible enemy unit with 5 Mag, 0 Mov and 100 HP which is (de)activated through specific triggers. Getting near an active Viskam in ''Warriors mode'' will reveal the hidden unit uses a placeholder portrait.
*In the game's code, the Viskam is an amalgam of three different elements: an invisible enemy with 5&nbsp;magic, 0&nbsp;movement, and 100&nbsp;HP which is spawned and despawned through specific triggers; a solid ballista object; and a unique weapon wielded by the enemy. Getting near an active Viskam in Zoom View will that reveal the hidden unit uses a placeholder portrait.
** The Viskam weapon in question is considered a [[Sword]] in the game's code and will display itself as such if hacked into the game.<ref>{{Cite web|title=I bought a Viskam for 1g from an online traveler|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/dt95vk/i_bought_a_viskam_for_1g_from_an_online_traveler/|site=Reddit|author=GreenCloakGuy|published=November 7, 2019|retrieved=May 11, 2020}}</ref> In spite of this, it isn't affected by [[Swordbreaker]] when the turret in question uses it.
**The Viskam weapon is considered a [[sword]] in the game's code, which is reflected in the minimap representing Viskam with sword icons. However, it is not affected by [[Swordbreaker]] or [[Swordfaire]].
**It is possible to obtain the Viskam from online travellers, where it is sold for 1G.<ref>{{Cite web|title=I bought a Viskam for 1g from an online traveler|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/dt95vk/i_bought_a_viskam_for_1g_from_an_online_traveler/|site=Reddit|author=GreenCloakGuy|published=November 7, 2019|retrieved=May 11, 2020}}</ref> It uses the model for an [[Iron Sword]].
