Death Blow (Japanese:鬼神の一撃Fierce God Blow) is askill which debuted inFire Emblem Fates. InFates, it is a class skill associated with theOni Chieftain class; inHeroes, it is a four-tiered type A passive skill (whose individual tiers areDeath Blow 1,Death Blow 2,Death Blow 3, andDeath Blow 4 in order from lowest to highest).
InFates, Death Blow increases the user'scritical rate considerably whenever its user initiates a battle; inHeroes, the skill instead boosts the user'sattack stat when initiating combat, with the bonus size increasing with the skill's tier. This version of the skill also appears inThree Houses, where it only has one version boosting attack by 6, only works on physical attacks instead of all attacks, and is learned by mastering theBrigand class.
InEngage, the skill returns to its original form, and boosts the user's critical rate once again. In this game, it is one of several skills that are exclusively used by some high-level enemies on the game's hardest difficulty mode,Maddening. Death Blow is exclusive to enemySwordmasters.
