'''Lethality''', formerly '''Silencer''', (Japanese: {{hover|瞬殺|Shunsatsu}} ''Instant Kill'', or {{hover|滅殺|Messatsu}} ''Annihilator'') is a combat trigger [[Skills|skill]] which technically debuted in {{FE7}} despite a defined skill system not existing, before appearing as a proper defined skill in {{FE8}}. In all of its appearances save {{title|Fates}} (where it is instead associated with [[Elite Ninja]]s), it is the defining trait of the [[Assassin]] class; when activated, it instantly kills the enemy, independent of all other factors.
'''Lethality''', formerly '''Silencer''', (Japanese: {{hl|瞬殺|Shunsatsu}} ''Instant Kill'', or {{hl|滅殺|Messatsu}} ''Annihilator'') is an [[offensive skill]] which debuted in {{FE7}}—despite a defined skill system not existing—before first appearing as a defined skill in {{FE8}}. In most of its main-series appearances, it is the defining trait of the [[Assassin]] class; when activated, it instantly kills the enemy, independent of all other factors.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In ''Fire Emblem'' and ''The Sacred Stones'', Lethality's animation is identical to that of a standard Assassin critical hit, differentiated only by the user's sprite vibrating briefly when it activates, and the screen being dominated by bright red/purple flashes when the Lethality attack connects with the target.
*In ''The Blazing Blade'' and ''The Sacred Stones'', Lethality's animation is nearly identical to that of a standard Assassin critical hit, differentiated only by the user's sprite vibrating briefly when it activates and the screen being dominated by bright red or purple flashes when the Lethality attack connects with the target.
* The ''Path of Radiance'' version of Lethality is currently the only one which, when its attack lands, does not completely block out the entire screen with its flash.
*In the Japanese version of ''The Sacred Stones'', the flash is identical to its appearance in ''The Blazing Blade'', being red. For unknown reasons, the localizations changed the flash's color to purple.
 
*The skill [[Bane]] in ''Radiant Dawn'' shares both the name and the icon of ''Path of Radiance'' Lethality in the Japanese version. In international versions, it only shares its icon.
==Gallery==
*There are relatively few instances in the ''Fire Emblem'' series of enemies bearing Lethality; this is likely to avoid forcing players to engage enemies that have a chance to instantly kill any unit.  
<gallery>
**[[Jerme]] is the first enemy unit to have Lethality. In his [[Pale Flower of Darkness (Jerme)|first encounter]], he has a [[Light Brand]] which cannot activate Lethality at range; his AI prioritizes avoiding counterattacks, making it unlikely for him to attack the player at 1-range. In his [[Light (part 1)|second encounter]], has a [[Runesword]] that prevents him from triggering Lethality at all.

**If any player units had Lethality at the start of [[The Wellspring of Truth|Paralogue&nbsp;22]] of ''Awakening'', their corresponding Mirages will also have it and may trigger it against the player's units.

**The [[Guardian Golem]] in [[A Harrowing Escape|the Chapter&nbsp;4 mission]] of the {{FE16}} expansion ''Cindered Shadows'' also has Lethality, though it is intended to be an obstacle that the player avoids rather than fights.
