In World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

Mortal Strike is a tier 1 Arms warrior talent. It is one of the most powerful and important attacks in the Arms warrior's arsenal, dealing substantial damage and applying a healing debuff.

Notes

• Mortal Strike is one of Arms warriors' most powerful attacks. Arms warriors should use Mortal Strike whenever possible.
• Mortal Strike also applies the  [Mortal Wounds] healing debuff. This can be useful in PvP to stop enemy healers from healing a target your group is attempting to focus fire on.
• The healing reduction effect does not stack with any other healing reduction effect.
• The 4-piece set bonus from the warrior's Tier-8.25 set, Conqueror's Siegebreaker Battlegear (level 80) gives a 10% increased chance to crit with Mortal Strike.

Trivia

• Mortal Strike is a rare Warrior spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: ""If you only use one ability, use Mortal Strike." - The Warrior Code, Line 6"
