Lethality, formerly Silencer, (Japanese: 瞬殺 Instant Kill, or 滅殺 Annihilator) is an offensive skill which debuted in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade—despite a defined skill system not existing—before first appearing as a defined skill in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. In all of its main-series appearances save Fates (where it is instead associated with Master Ninjas), it is the defining trait of the Assassin class; when activated, it instantly kills the enemy, independent of all other factors.

Trivia
- In The Blazing Blade and The Sacred Stones, Lethality's animation is nearly identical to that of a standard Assassin critical hit, differentiated only by the user's sprite vibrating briefly when it activates and the screen being dominated by bright red or purple flashes when the Lethality attack connects with the target.
- In the Japanese version of The Sacred Stones, the flash is identical to its appearance in The Blazing Blade, being red. For unknown reasons the localizations changed the flash's color to purple.
- The skill Bane in Radiant Dawn shares both the name and the icon of Path of Radiance Lethality in the Japanese version. In international versions, it only shares its icon.
- There are relatively few instances in the Fire Emblem series of enemies bearing Lethality; this is likely to avoid forcing players to engage enemies that have a chance to instantly kill any unit. The only instance of an enemy Assassin with Lethality is Jaffar in Awakening's Rogues and Redeemers xenologues.
- If any player units had Lethality at the start of Paralogue 22 of Awakening, their corresponding Mirages will also have it and may trigger it against the player's units.
- The Guardian Golem in the Chapter 4 mission of the Fire Emblem: Three Houses expansion Cindered Shadows also has Lethality, though it is intended to be an obstacle that the player avoids rather than fights.
