Lion Heart (エンドオブハート, Endo obu Hāto?, lit. End of Heart) is Squall Leonhart's signature attack that first appeared as his ultimate finishing attack to his Renzokuken Limit Break in Final Fantasy VIII. The attack is performed with the ultimate weapon of the same name and attacks the opponent multiple times, similar in execution to other Final Fantasy protagonists' ultimate attacks, such as Cloud Strife's Omnislash.

Template:Sideicon Squall's EX Burst in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series is Renzokuken, requiring him to successfully time presses of the R button to land a potential eight hits. He finishes the EX Burst with a variation of Lion Heart; rather than attack enemies with several rapid attacks, it is downplayed to a single attack reminiscent of the final blow seen in the original, where Squall charges energy into his gunblade and dashes past the opponent to strike them once, releasing a shockwave on impact. Lion Heart has 20 power with its single hit, making it responsible for 20% of the full power in Squall's EX Burst.
