Fatal is a keyword signifying that a following effect occurs when this card kills a non-minion enemy. There are kills which do not qualify as Fatal kills, detailed below.

Note that cards like Sunder and Relics like Gremlin Horn don't use the keyword and can be triggered by the exceptions described below.

Fatal Exceptions[]

The following kills are exceptions to the Fatal qualifier:

  • Minions do not count as Fatal kills. These are recognized by the icon. For a list of minion enemies, see the Minion page.
  • If fighting Darklings reducing the HP of one of them to 0 does not count as a Fatal kill unless it was the final enemy from the batch.
  • Defeating the first phase of the Awakened One does not count as a Fatal kill.
