Eclipse (skill)
| ||||||
|
Eclipse (Japanese: 月光 Moonlight) is a offensive skill exclusive to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It is a modified version of the Luna skill which provides a 5x increase in strength as opposed to Luna's 3x increase, and in the Japanese version it shares the name of that skill. It is the mastery skill of the Black Knight. In addition, examination of the game's data has found that it is also the mastery skill of a variant of the Marshall class exclusive to General Zelgius of Begnion, with a complete unused skill animation. When Ike fights the Black Knight, it is advised that he be equipped with Nihil, as a hit from Eclipse is guaranteed to be fatal.

Trivia
- The North American description for the Black Knight class erroneously states that it wields Luna instead of Eclipse. This error occurred due to Luna and Eclipse sharing the same Japanese name. This was corrected in the PAL release.
- Eclipse deals the highest amount of raw damage in the entirety of Radiant Dawn - not taking into account weapon triangle, height or terrain bonuses, with Alondite on the Black Knight's base strength, it will deal 208 damage, more than enough to hypothetically kill anything in the game (including Ashera, who has the highest HP in the game at 120) in a single hit. The minimum possible damage it can deal is 191, if activated with a Slim Sword against a lance-wielding enemy.
