The Great Ballista (Japanese: グレートアーチ Great Arch) is a class that has never made an official appearance in the Fire Emblem seriesFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, the only time it appeared in a game's coding, had the Great Ballista class go unused.

The Great Ballista was intended to be an enemy-exclusive class; like their name implies, they would have been the exclusive wielders of the similarly-unused Great Ballista weapon.
