Poison Strike (Japanese: 蛇毒 Snake Venom) is a combat skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Fates. In Fates, it is a class skill associated with the Ninja class; in Three Houses, it is learned by mastering the Dark Mage class; in Heroes, it is a three-tiered type B passive skill (whose individiual tiers are Poison Strike 1, Poison Strike 2, and Poison Strike 3 in order from lowest to highest). Poison Strike is a skill that deals additional damage to an enemy at the end of a battle the user initiates. The damage is equal to 20% of the target's maximum HP in the main series games, and fixed damage increasing with the skill's tier in Heroes. As with all skills that deal out-of-combat damage, it cannot reduce units to 0 HP.
In Fire Emblem Engage, 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 enemy Wolf Knights.
