Trivia

  • Vengeance has the highest activation rate of any of the offensive skills in both Awakening and Fates, tying with Rend Heaven in the latter. In Awakening, if a unit with Vengeance has 50 or more skill (possible through children with certain fathers, when paired up or through skills like Limit Breaker), it is possible for Vengeance to have an activation rate of 100% or more. This is no longer possible in Fates owing to the overall reduced stat caps and Vengeance's lower activation rate.
  • In Awakening, the maximum possible extra damage which can be dealt with Vengeance by a playable unit is 44, achievable by a unit with 90 maximum HP (only possible for a promoted unit with HP +5 and who has had a HP Tonic or Kris's Confect used on them) who currently has only one HP remaining; without HP +5 or items, the maximum damage dealt under the same conditions is 39. For enemies, of whom there are a small number who have 99 maximum HP, the maximum possible extra damage they could deal with Vengeance is 49 under the same conditions; however, no enemy with 99 HP has Vengeance.
    • In Fates, the maximum possible extra damage for a playable unit is 39, achievable only by a General or Berserker who has reached the class' maximum 70 HP, possesses the HP +5 skill, has used a HP Tonic, and has 1 HP remaining.
