'''Mercurial Thrust''' is a recurring ability in the franchise. It gives the user an immense priority in turn order, often going first.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
Mercurial Thrust has the third highest priority of any ability in the game, trailing behind only [[Double Up]] and [[Kaclang]], but attack power is reduced to 80% when used. It is obtained by advancing to rank 5 of the [[Warrior]] vocation. 

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
Mercurial thrust operates exactly as it did in the previous game, and is learned by reaching rank 4 of the Warrior, rank 2 of the [[Berserker (Vocation)|Berserker]], and rank 7 of the [[Notso macho (Vocation)|Notso Macho]]

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The hero]] can use Mercurial Thrust as a spear technique after investing 7 skill points into the associated skill. The skill has received an upgrade under [[Level-5]], and now always goes first turning a turn.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
This ability is learned with 3 skill points invested into [[List of spear skills in Dragon Quest IX|Spear skill]], and operates exactly as it did in ''VIII''.

==={{DQM}}===
Called SquallHit in this game, it requires the monster to reach level 12 with 72 HP, 68 attack, and 82 agility. It is naturally learned by the [[Anteater]], [[Grizzly]], [[Firebird | Phoenix]], [[WingSlime]] and [[WingSnake]].

==={{DQM2}}===
The requirements to learn SquallHit are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[Aquarella]], among others.
