AppearancesEdit
Dragon Quest XEdit
Starstrike can be learned by Mages, Thieves, Luminaries, Monster Masters, and Fortune Tellers by investing 35 points into their Whip skill. It differs from most whip skills by targeting a single enemy with the physical strike itself, but the burst of light-elemental energy also damages surrounding enemies for 40% of the initial strike's total. The dazzle effect can last for up to one minute.
- In the Offline version of the game, it can be learned by the Hero as a Mage, Thief, or Luminary and Duston through the Whips panel in their character builders for 5 and 7 skill points respectively. It inflicts 100% light-elemental damage to a single group of enemies and has a chance to dazzle them, as well. The skill's damage and status ailment infliction rate can be increased further with skill-up panels.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive AgeEdit
Starstrike can be learned by Veronica and Sylvando through the Whips panel in their character builders for 14 and 6 skill points respectively. However, Veronica is only able to learn the skill after her character builder has been expanded in the postgame. It costs 5 MP to use and deals 110% light-elemental damage to one enemy group, with a 25% chance to dazzle each target.
