Bane is a Skill introduced in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Overview

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Bane is unique to the Whisper class. When activated, it allows its user to reduce an enemy's HP to 1, excluding Bosses. In the Japanese version, it shares the same name as the Lethality skill from earlier games.

In Fire Emblem Engage, Bane returns as a Bond Ring skill acquired by equipping Sothe's S Rank Bond Ring.

Effects	Treats foe's Def/Res stats as if reduced by 40% when Special triggers. When Special triggers, neutralizes foe's "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills, and also, if damage dealt prior to damage reduction calculation < foe's HP - 1, sets damage before damage reduction as foe's HP -1 (excluding certain foes' such as Røkkr). If unit's or foe's Special is ready or triggered before or during this combat, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 30% (once per turn, excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Trivia

• The Japanese and US help descriptions for Radiant Dawn erroneously state that the Bane skill incapacitates an enemy. Bane does reduce an enemy to 1 HP with a single strike, but does not technically incapacitate them; this was corrected in the European releases.
