Honorable Kill
Deal exact lethal damage on your turn for a bonus.

Honorable Kill is an expansion keyword introduced in Fractured in Alterac Valley.

Honorable Kill triggers when a minion or spell deals exact damage required to kill a character, during the owner's turn.

Notes[]

  • When an Honorable Kill minion or hero with an equipped Honorable Kill weapon has met requirements to trigger but it is about to die (would have 0 or less health after combat), its Honorable Kill will still trigger first.
    • For example: A 6/2 Ashes of OutlandBasicBlackrock MountainClassicHero SkinsNaxxramasDemon Hunter InitiateDescent of DragonsFestival of LegendsForged in the BarrensFractured in Alterac ValleyGalakrond's AwakeningGoblins vs GnomesLegacyLegacyJourney to Un'GoroKnights of the Frozen ThroneKobolds & CatacombsThe League of ExplorersMadness at the Darkmoon FaireMarch of the Lich KingMean Streets of GadgetzanMercenariesMurder at Castle NathriaOne Night in KarazhanPath of ArthasRastakhan's RumblePromoRise of ShadowsSaviors of UldumScholomance AcademyThe Boomsday ProjectThe Grand TournamentThe WitchwoodTITANSUnited in StormwindVoyage to the Sunken CityWhispers of the Old GodsCoreKnight-Captain attacks a 3/6 minion. Knight-Captain would have 6/-1 stats after combat, but its Honorable Kill will trigger, making it a 9/2 and not destroyed.
  • Honorable Kill also triggers when you reduce a hero to zero health. Ordinarily this is a strictly cosmetic effect, since one hero has just died, but theoretically this could result in a draw.
