Type(s) Combat art (Three Houses) Bond Ring (Engage) First game Three Houses

Paraselene (Japanese: 幻月 Paraselene) is a combat art which debuted in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It is learned by achieving class mastery of the Great Lord; as that class is exclusive to Dimitri, this combat art by extension is as well. It grants a significant boost to might and makes the user take one step backward after combat.

In Fire Emblem Engage, Paraselene appears as a skill. It still causes the user to step back one tile after combat on command, but unlike its combat art incarnation, it doesn't boost any of the user's stats while doing so.

• In Three Houses, if Paraselene is performed with a lance that uses sword or axe animations instead of the standard lance animations, such as the Short Spear or Crescent Sickle, the user will use a generic combat art animation instead of the unique attack animation associated with this combat art.
