Mercy Stroke (マーシーストローク, Māshī Sutorōku?) is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy XI[]
Mercy Stroke is a dagger Weapon skill. It temporarily improves critical hit rate. It provides the modifiers STR: 80%. It can skillchain into Darkness and Gravitation. It is learned from the relic weapons Batardeau and Mandau.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Mercy Stroke was a Marauder and Warrior ability available after reaching level 26. The ability delivered an attack with a potency of 200. It could only be executed when target's HP is below 20% and should the player use the ability to deliver a killing blow, they would have 20% of their maximum HP restored. The ability also had an additional effect trait known as Enhanced Mercy Stroke available at level 40, which lowered the ability's cool down to 40 seconds.
Mercy Stroke could be used as a cross class ability by all Disciple of War and Magic classes, Paladin, Dark Knight, Monk, Dragoon, and Ninja.
At the launch of the Stormblood expansion, the ability and the trait were both removed from the Marauder's skillset and the game entirely.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius[]
Mercy Strike is an active ability learned by Thief (5★, level 78). It deals physical damage (2x) to one enemy and decreases their ATK (30%) for 3 turns for 17 MP.
