Victimiser can be learned by Thieves, Minstrels, Dancers, Gadabouts, Demon Swordsmen, and Pirates by allocating 100 skill points into the Knives skill. It costs 3 MP to use and deals 400% damage against poisoned or paralyzed monsters. All other targets will take 150% damage instead. When used, the skill creates three glowing purple tendrils that form around the knife that strike the enemy.

Etymology[edit]
- In the original Japanese version, Victimiser is named after Thanatos, the god and personification of death in Greek mythology. He is the twin brother of Hypnos, the god of sleep, and the two were said to reside in the Underworld where the rays of the sun never reach them. In the original Japanese, Persecutter is named after Hypnos.
