Strike skills is a fan term that refers to miscellaneous, damage-causing abilities within Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation, Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past, Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, and the first two Dragon Quest Monsters games. The classification within those five titles contains both martial arts techniques such as Knuckle Sandwich and rock-based attacks like Boulder Toss, with the hypothesis behind the shared category being that a fighter would have to have fists of stone/rock-hard hands to deal such damage barehanded.
The trait was seemingly retired in 2009 with Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies introducing a proper Earth-element within the game's programming and the martial arts skills being calculated differently, with subsequent titles carrying this standard forward until 2024. The release of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake revived the dormant skill category and greatly expanded upon it, with nearly every physical attack skill utilizing it for damage calculation.
