Lethality

Lethality (瞬殺 Shunsatsu in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, 滅殺 Messatsu in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Fire Emblem: Awakening, also known as Silencer in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Meurtrier in the French version of Fire Emblem: Awakening) is a special skill native to the Assassin class. It is a special attack which disregards an enemy's defense and remaining health, allowing its user to instantly annihilate said enemy.

In Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Silencer uses half of the user's critical rate as a percentage. This thus makes it highly recommended to use Myrmidons as the base unit when creating an Assassin unit in The Sacred Stones, as Myrmidons typically possess high skill stats. It cannot activate against the Fire Dragon or Fomortiis, but can activate against other bosses, although the use of the Iron Rune/Hoplon Guard will prevent it from triggering.

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, this skill is prioritized first over all other skill-activated skills. This is likely because it is the least likely to occur, and the most devastating if activated.

This skill is known as Blazing Wind (烈風の技 Reppū no waza) in TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga.
