The power to crush a skull.
- The current Mortal Strike was reworked into this version in 6.78, and reverted back to the current version in 6.79.
- Unlike other critical strikes, this one also works against wards.
- The sound and particles play upon start of the attack, not when the attack lands.
- Does not affect the target's and Skeleton King's maximum health. It only drains health based on a percentage of the target's maximum health.
- Only the critical strike from Mortal Strike is disabled for the duration. Other sources of crit still fully work.
