Assassin's Stab was retroactively added to the 2024 remake learned at level 16 by the {{Thieves}} if their wisdom exceeds 33 points. It costs 4 {{MP}} and has a success chance of 1/3rd before evasion, [[Dazzle]], and resistances & vulnerabilities to [[Whack]] apply. If the attempt fails then the skill deals normal damage with the Strike element, and unlike [[Pressure Pointer]] the technique is affected by [[Oomph]], [[Muster Strength]], [[Egg On]], [[Attack Attacker]], [[Sap]], & [[Kasap]].
