Type(s) Skill level (Three Houses) Class (Warriors: Three Hopes) First game Three Houses

Battalion Desperation (Japanese: 攻め立ての陣 Team incessant attack) is an ability which debuted in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It is an ability learned by certain units when they raise their skill level in authority. As its name suggests, it acts similarly to Desperation in that it reorders any of a unit's follow-up attacks to right after their initial attack. Instead of being activated based on the user's HP, it instead takes effect when the user's battalion has only a third of its endurance remaining. In Warriors: Three Hopes, it is instead associated with the Cavalier class and grants the user's strong attacks the ability to break the enemy's guard.
