Upheaval
| ||||
|
Upheaval (Japanese: メガクェイク Megaquake) is a rarely-occurring offensive spell in Fire Emblem Gaiden. It is one of Gaiden's more obscure features. It can be used by Jamil and Duma, but does not appear in their spell lists.
The spell rarely occurs at all, this leads to many people playing through Gaiden in its entirety and never encountering it, increasing its obscurity. In Gaiden, when used, the following text appears:
だいちのせいれいよ!
わがよびかけに おうじよ!!
てきは メガクェイク
をとなえた!!
This translates to:
O, Holy Spirit of the Earth! Respond to my call!!
The enemy chanted Megaquake!!
Upheaval returns in Gaiden's remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, this time as a defined personal skill listed in Jamil and Duma's skill lists. When used, every member of the player's party takes a different, random amount of damage, between 8 and 18 HP. The player is also alerted to an impending use of Upheaval by its user becoming surrounded by a dark aura at the beginning of the player phase, before unleashing Upheaval at the beginning of the enemy phase. Unlike most offensive skills in Shadows of Valentia, Upheaval does not consume any of its user's HP. In this game, the incantation was localized as:
Spirits of the Earth, heed my call!
Upheaval returns once more in Heroes as one of Duma's personal skills.
In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Upheaval returns as a dark magic spell, here known as Quake Σ (Japanese: メガクエイクΣ Megaquake Σ). It is an exceedingly rare spell that affects the entire map, and it is exclusively wielded by the Agarthan leader, Thales.
