Type

Ballista (Tome/Scroll)

First game

Fire Emblem Fates

The Fire Orb is one of three types of turret weapons that appear in Fire Emblem Fates. Fire Orbs appear as map objects which can be used by any unit capable of using tomes or scrolls. Like the game's other two turret types, the Ballista and Launcher, Fire Orbs inflict damage across multiple tiles in a plus-shaped formation, hitting a maximum of five units at once, and affect both allies and enemies of the turret's user. Different maps tend to have different stats from each other. Fire Orb objects can also be constructed in a Conquest or Revelation player's My Castle for use in castle battles; it is the only turret object that can be constructed in a Conquest My Castle.

The Fire Orb returns as a map object in Three Houses.
