'''Lethality''' is a special skill native to the [[Assassin]]-related classes; it first debuted in ''[[TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga]]'', but debuted in the [[Fire Emblem (series)|Fire Emblem series]] with the release of ''[[Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade]]''.
'''Lethality''' (滅殺 ''Messatsu'', also known as '''Silencer''' in ''[[Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken]]'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones]]'') 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 ''[[TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga]]'', this skill is known as '''Blazing Wind''', or '''Gale''' in the fan translation.
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 [[Myrmidon]]s as the base unit when creating an Assassin unit in ''The Sacred Stones'', as Myrmidons typically possess high [[Skill (stat)|skill]] stats. It cannot activate against the [[Fire Dragon]] or [[Fomortiis]], but can activate against other bosses, although the use of the [[Iron Rune|Iron Rune/Hoplon Guard]] will prevent it from triggering.

Lethality is a special skill native to the Assassin-related classes; it first debuted in TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, but debuted in the Fire Emblem series with the release of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, this skill is known as Blazing Wind, or Gale in the fan translation.

Overview

In its various incarnations, activating Lethality will instantly deplete the enemy's health, regardless of the normal battle damage calculations. The potency of this effect is countered by the lowest activation rate of any attacking skill.

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Silencer uses half of the user's critical rate as a percentage. This 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 the Japanese version of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Bane is called Shunsatsu, or what is known as Lethality in the earlier games.

In Awakening and Fates, if the user battles an enemy with Dragonskin, the skill is disabled. This skill is prioritized first over all other skill-activated attack skills. This is likely because it is the least likely to occur and the most devastating if activated. It can be blocked by Dual Guard and Guard Stance or the enemy can survive if they have Miracle and it activates.

    • Lethality changes the next attack of the user to one-hit a foe, but does not guarantee that it will hit. This means it is possible to avoid the Lethality hit.
    • If the target is struck by a Lethality hit, Pavise and Aegis can still activate, even though Lethality will always ignore them.
    • Triggered guards from a Pair Up in Awakening or a filled Guard Stance in Fates will block the Lethality hit.
    • Miracle can trigger against a Lethality hit, meaning that a user hit by Lethality can survive if it activates.
