Final Strike

Killing Strike Max Level: 10 25Requirement: Throwing Mastery 7, Shadow Slash 5, Ninja Aura 1 Skill Form: Physical attack Description: Sacrifices the caster's remaining HP to inflict devastating damage to the target enemy. The amount of remaining HP affects the damage inflicted, and each cast of this skill will always reduce the caster's HP to 1. Older descriptions of this skill will sometimes state that it does reduced damage against Players and Bosses, but that is not correct. That is a property of Throw Zeny, but not this skill. [Lv 1]: (STR*40) + (8% of RemainingHP) [Lv 2]: (STR*40) + (16% of RemainingHP) [Lv 3]: (STR*40) + (24% of RemainingHP) [Lv 4]: (STR*40) + (32% of RemainingHP) [Lv 5]: (STR*40) + (40% of RemainingHP) [Lv 6]: (STR*40) + (48% of RemainingHP) [Lv 7]: (STR*40) + (56% of RemainingHP) [Lv 8]: (STR*40) + (64% of RemainingHP) [Lv 9]: (STR*40) + (72% of RemainingHP) [Lv 10]: (STR*40) + (80% of RemainingHP) [Note]:On Hercules based servers, the skill uses 10% of the Ninja's HP per level instead of 8%. Comments: This skill is similar to Asura Strike but using HP instead. Here is how the two are similar: -Damage is Forced Neutral; -Affected by +% Cards and effects, such as Hydra, Abysmal Knight and The Sign; -Requires a buff to be cast(Ninja Aura), will remove the buff after used; However, there are a few key differences: -Damage is Ranged and blocked by Pneuma, but not by Safety Wall; -Ignores Flee, but does NOT ignore Defense. Effects such as Thanatos Card and Ice Pick will work with Killing Strike; -Ignores your ATK completely and calculates damage looking only at your STR; -Ranged damage reductions such as Defender and Alligator Card will reduce the damage received; -Has no Cast Time and no After Cast Delay; -If the enemy is a Stalker and has the Reject Sword buff, and a Ninja equipping a dagger uses Killing Strike on them, the Ninja is immediately killed by the reflected damage; The best way to increase this skill's damage is to increase your MaxHP, which can be rather difficult considering Ninjas have low Base HP and suffer from severe equipment restrictions.
