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 Final Fantasy 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 FF6 Slot - Seven FF6 Slot - Seven FF6 Slot - Bar combination is its most undesirable effect, 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 FF6 Slot - Seven FF6 Slot - Seven FF6 Slot - Seven combination is the strongest ability, being able to kill all enemies while ignoring immunity to Death, although a handful of formations prevents 7-7-7.

Strago can learn Lv.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. In some versions it can also be redirected by having Gogo Jump to avoid the effect, then use Mimic to have him copy the ability. When this variant of Joker's Death is used via Mimic, it will target enemies instead of the party. However, this trick does not work in the Pixel Remaster version.

Final Fantasy VII[]

Death Joker is a possible result of Cait Sith's Slots Limit Break by matching Face/Face/Bar. It is the worst ability to get, as it kills all allies while ignoring immunity to Instant Death. 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.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia[]

Joker's Death is Setzer's Burst Ability, obtained after getting the World's Fastest Card BT weapon. "Setzer's theme" plays as the theme during Burst Mode.

The BT Effect's turns is randomized, between 6 to 12 turns. Unlike the original appearance, it doesn't kill both party and enemies. The effects consist of:

  • A Chance to deal Maximum HP Damage when using an HP Attack.
  • HP Damage up.
  • BRV Damage Cap up.
  • HP Damage Cap up.
