Death Attack, also known as Death Blow, Touch of Death, Iaido, Slay, Assassinate, Assassination and Assassin Blade, is a recurring skill. It is a physical attack that additionally inflicts instant Death. Targets that succesfully resist the death effect upon being hit will still receive the damage of a normal physical attack. When accessible to the player, it is usually the property of either the Assassin, or an associated class, such as Ninja, and/or Samurai. Death Blow is often a distinct skill.
