Joker's Death

The bad Joker's Death in Final Fantasy VI.

Joker's Death (ジョーカーデス, Jōkā Desu?, lit. Joker Death), also known as Joker Doom and Death Joker, is a recurring ability in the series. It is commonly associated with the Slots ability, being the most undesirable effect in most cases as it instantly kills the party and ignores immunity to Death.

Appearances

Final Fantasy VI

Joker's Death is one of two ultimate abilities of Setzer's Slot command. The combination is its most undesirable effect, instantly killing all allies while ignoring immunity to Death. The only way to avoid is to be off the screen when the effect takes place via the Jump ability.

The combination is the strongest ability, being able to instantly kill all enemies while ignoring immunity to Death, although a handful of formations prevents 7-7-7.

Strago can learn Level 5 Death by seeing either version.

Joker's Death may be reversed with confuse, allowing 7-7-Bar to defeat formations that otherwise block 7-7-7.

Formations that prevents 7-7-7: Ymir Vargas Ultros (all battles) Opinicus Fish, Rhizopas Ifrit, Shiva Guardian (Invincible version) Ultros, Typhon

Humbaba (first three battles) Behemoth King (living version) Chadarnook Wrexsoul, Soul Saver Visage, Long Arm, Short Arm Power, Tiger, Machine, Magic Lady, Rest

Final Fantasy VII

Death Joker is a possible result of Cait Sith's Slot Limit Break by matching Face/Face/Bar. It is the worst ability to get as it instantly kills all allies while ignoring immunity to Instant Death. However, if the battle is a Side Attack, it will only target one side of the party, thus avoiding an instant Game Over if at least one character is alive on the other side.
