Hatchet Man is a recurring ability in the franchise. It attempts to launch an all-or-nothing critical strike, with the accuracy varying between games. This skill is strongly recommended for hunting Metal Slimes and their brethren, especially so in games that do not have the Hela hammer.
Appearances
Dragon Quest IV
In the remakes, Hatchet Man is one of the special abilities that Psaro has upon joining in Chapter 6. Accuracy is 3/8ths.
Dragon Quest VI
Hatchet Man is learned by Lizzie at level 9. Other characters can obtain it by mastering the Warrior vocation. Accuracy is the same as in IV's remakes.
Dragon Quest VII
Exactly as in VI.
Dragon Quest VIII
Yangus can use Hatchet Man as an axe technique after allocating 19 skill points into the associated skill. The technique has a 25% chance to land a normal blow, 25% to land a critical, and 50% to miss. Once has allocated 66 points, it is replaced by the more accurate Executioner. This upgraded form ditches the chance of landing a normal blow for a 50% probability to land a critical.
Dragon Quest IX
This ability is learned with 58 skill points invested into Axe skill. Functionally, it is identical to Executioner.
