Feint (ability)

Feint ( or ) is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy XI===
Feint is a Merit ability, only available to level 75 Thieves. When used, the player's next attack will decrease the target's evasion by a significant amount, often enough to make a target that is otherwise near impossible to hit a lot more easier to hit (a difference of -40 evasion or more). It may be recast every 10 minutes, with further Merit upgrades decreasing the recast time. The decrease in evasion will last on the target creature for 30 seconds.
===Final Fantasy XIV===
Feint was an action available to Lancers and Dragoon, and could be used as an additional action by Disciple of War classes and physical DPS jobs. It dealt minor damage to a single target while also inflicting Slow. This version of Feint was removed as a player action in patch 4.0, but is still used by some NPCs.
A new action also localized as Feint was added in patch 4.0 as a role action available to all melee DPS disciplines. The Feint role action reduces physical and magic damage dealt by the target, with a heavier focus on physical damage reduction. The level 98 trait Enchanced Feint increases the duration from 10s to 15.
