-'''Assassin's Stab''' is a recurring ability in the franchise. It may instantly kill a target.
+'''Assassin's Stab''' is a recurring ability in the {{DQSeries}}.
+It may instantly kill a target when used. In the main series the skill is usually performed with a {{Knife}}, but it can be used with any weapon in many spinoff games.
 ==Appearances==
-===[[Dragon Quest VIII]]===
+==={{DQ2HD}}===
-[[Jessica]] can use '''Assassin's Stab''' as a knife technique after allocating 22 skill points into the associated skill. After allocating 100 points, it is replaced by the deadlier '''Sudden Death''' technique.
+Assassin's Stab can be learned by either the [[Prince of Cannock|Prince]] or [[Princess of Cannock]] through a scroll found on the sixth floor of the [[Dragonlord's Castle]]. It has all the properties seen in the HD remake of ''Dragon Quest III''.
-===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
-This ability is learned with 58 skill points invested into [[List of knife skills in Dragon Quest IX|Knife skill]].
+==={{DQ3HD}}===
+Assassin's Stab was retroactively added to the 2024 remake learned at level 16 by the {{Thieves}} if their wisdom exceeds 33 points. It costs 4 {{MP}} and has a success chance of 1/3rd before evasion, [[Dazzle]], and resistances & vulnerabilities to [[Whack]] apply. If the attempt fails then the skill deals normal damage with the Strike element, and unlike [[Pressure Pointer]] the technique is affected by [[Oomph]], [[Muster Strength]], [[Egg On]], [[Attack Attacker]], [[Sap]], & [[Kasap]].
+==={{DQ8}}===
+[[Jessica Albert]] can use Assassin's Stab after allocating 22 points into her {{Knife}} skill. The rate of success is '''independent''' of the foe's resistance to [[Whack]], with a fixed 12.5% chance to work.
+After allocating 100 points, it is replaced by the deadlier [[Sudden Death]] technique, which deals an additional 30% more damage regardless of success and has a higher accuracy of 25%.
+*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, [[Red]] can also learn Assassin's Stab after allocating 25 points into her {{Knife}} skill. However, her's will not upgrade into Sudden Death. Sudden Death now also deals '''80%''' more damage instead of just 30%, and this stacks with the additional damage from both [[Dragonsbane (Weapon)|Dragonsbane]] and [[Zombiesbane (Weapon)|Zombiesbane]].
+==={{DQ9}}===
+An attack that possesses a fixed 12.5% chance to instantly kill a target. It costs 3 {{MP}} to use and is learned after 58 points have been invested into the [[List of knife skills in Dragon Quest IX|Knife skill]]. On the enemy side, it can be used by [[Peckerel]]s.
+==={{DQ10}}===
+{{Stub}}
+==={{DQ11}}===
+Assassin's Stab is a secret skill that can be learned by [[Erik]] through the ''Knives'' panel in his character builder for 18 skill points, requiring at least four of the surrounding panels to be unlocked first. It costs 5 {{MP}} to use and has a 20% chance to kill a target, but will rise to 45% if '''Nastier Knives''' is mastered for another 20 points.
+==={{DQMJ}}===
+Assassin's Stab costs 8 {{MP}} to use and has a chance of causing instant death. It can be learned from:
+*[[Assassin]] (75 points)
+*[[Bounty Hunter]] (75 points)
+*[[Cluboon (skill)|Cluboon III]] (38 points)
+*[[Diminisher]] (100 points)
+*[[Estark (skill)|Estark]] (58 points)
+*[[Huntsman]] (100 points)
+==={{DQMJ2}}===
+Assassin's Stab can no longer be learned from [[Diminisher]], and the point requirements for [[Assassin]] and [[Estark (skill)|Estark]] have changed. It can now be learned from:
+*[[Assassin]] (85 points)
+*[[Estark (skill)|Estark]] (68 points)
+*[[Muspell]] (32 points)
+*[[Reaper (skill)|Reaper]] (53 points)
+*[[Sagittar (skill)|Sagittar]] (58 points)
