Savage Blow (Japanese: 死の吐息 Deadly Breath) is a combat skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Fates. In Fates, it is a class skill learned by members of the Malig Knight class; in Heroes, it is a three-tiered type C passive skill (whose individiual tiers are Savage Blow 1, Savage Blow 2, and Savage Blow 3 in order from lowest to highest). It deals sizable damage to all nearby enemies after an attack, if they are the ones who initiated that attack; in Heroes, the damage dealt increases with the skill's tier. 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. Savage Blow is exclusive to enemy Thieves.
