— In-game description

Seiton Tenchu (PvP) is an action unlocked at level 30. It is available for Ninja.

Notes

• This action does not require the user to physically reach the target. As long as the target is within line of sight upon initiation, the action will take effect, even if the target is obscured by terrain or objects.
• If the target is under 50% HP and is defeated by incoming damage after the action is initiated but before the instant KO effect is applied, Death Link credit will still be awarded.
• Seiton Tenchu (征討天誅) is a Japanese phrase that can be translated as "punishment on behalf of heaven" or "heavenly retribution." The phrase (or at least the component 天誅) became strongly associated with the late Edo (Bakumatsu) period when certain samurai and rōnin believed they had a mandate to assassinate those deemed corrupt or "enemies of the Emperor", with one notable example of this practice being Okada Izō.
