It seems the page image has been pulled.

Would this be an appropriate image?

To put in context, he tried to end all life. Ironically, assembling life and flesh is what defeated him.

Don't think so.

I'm not quite sure if this falls into Revive Kills Zombie, so I figured I'd get a second opinion:

  • In Alone In The Dark 2008, healing sprays are flammable. Since the majority of enemies can only be killed with fire, healing sprays can be used as makeshift flamethrowers and thrown explosives.

There seems to be a bit of Trope Decay here, or at least in the entries I read. The above reference to Gold Needle on Stone Enemies is legitimate. But Odin being struck down by Lightning is not, that's Achilles' Heel or Weaksauce Weakness (which this Trope can be considered a Sub-Trope to).

Basically, the focus here should be on "Healing" damages enemies that are "undead" or otherwise "inherently a status that would be harmful to party members".

EDIT: Ok, the first line of the description seems to favor the broader definition. Still, if the weakness utilizes conventional attack methods (i.e. elemental magic) then "Revive Kills Zombie" seems to be a Non-Indicative Name. I'll have to take this one to the shop.

I think this page should be split into one trope descibing unusual methods of dealing damage and "revive kills zombie" which would deal only with healing moves damaging enemies.

The Final Fantasy examples seem a bit disorganized; as one example the FFV Soft/Gold Needle on stone enemies example is listed at least three times in different sections.
