Editing Fire Emblem (section)

=== Dancer/Bard ===
Infantry units who can reactivate an ally that's already moved and acted that turn to do so again. Even a cursory knowledge of the game should easily reveal why this makes them some of the best units in any given game, with reasons including duplicating your most useful unit, having their own experience pool while doing it, and allowing unique tactics. Don't tend to get promotions, but they sometimes have increased level caps to compensate.  Some games also give them the power to apply powerful combat buffs instead of or ''while'' reactivating them, further increasing their potency as supports and force-multipliers.  

In most appearances they can wield swords, though don't necessarily have the statline to really kick ass with them. This is not universal, as the GBA trilogy didn't give them access to any weapons, and their rough equivalent in the Tellius duology, a specialized form of laguz, can't attack, though they make up for it by being arguably the most powerful variant in the series via their ability to simultaneously refresh multiple teammates while transformed.  

In ''Cipher'' dancers and bards, unsurprisingly, have the ability to untap tapped units in exchange for flipping Bonds.
