Other skills

Execution (Kaishaku)
介錯
Passive Skill

May terminate enemies and allies that fall below a certain HP.
  • When an enemy or an ally falls under the HP threshold, the user has a chance of instantly killing them once they get targeted by an attack, skill, or item.
    • Overheat will not trigger this skill, but puts its user at risk afterwards if they fall within the HP threshold.
    • Users of Berserker Vow will receive their buff safely without immediately triggering Execution.
    • If a party member defends an ally under the HP threshold with Bodyguard, the instant kill will be redirected to the Bodyguard user.
  • Ignores Instant Death resistances but not immunities.
  • Will not trigger on follow-up attacks.
  • Users cannot kill themselves, Yggdroid's Bots, or Ninja's Decoys with this skill.
  • Killing enemies or allies this way triggers Bloody Lance.
  • Killing enemies this way will not trigger any on-death abilities.
  • If an ally under the HP threshold is attacked but the attack gets blocked, Execution can still trigger.
  • The instant death effect still treats the target as being killed by an attack made by the user's primary weapon, potentially fulfilling conditional drops depending on the weapon's attributes.
    • If the user is wielding a weapon without elemental forges or imbues, this skill can be blocked by Parry, Sarutobi/Ninpo: Flight, or Aegis Defense. If the user is using an elementally-forged or imbued weapon, neither physical nor elemental negation skills can block this skill.
