Appearances
Dragon Quest X
Secret Wind Sickles is a skill used by a possessed Hussar when he is faced as a boss. After charging for a short time, he unleashes a forward slash that deals 70% damage twice to any characters struck by it and has a high chance to stun them. Despite the skill's name, it deals non-elemental damage rather than wind damage.
Dragon Quest Tact
Secret Wind Sickles can be learned by Hussar at level 44 and costs 58 MP to use. It has a range of two squares in front of him and inflicts 250% potency Woosh-type physical damage to all enemies in a range of three squares horizontally. Upgrading the skill increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.

Etymology
Much like Wind Sickles, Secret Wind Sickles is also named after the Japanese yōkai kamaitachi, a mythical creature that takes the form of a weasel with sharp claws that is said to ride on dust devils.
