Beat
From Dragon Quest Wiki
Whack or Beat is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series. It instantly reduces the target's HP to 0.
Whack is typically difficult to hit with when cast, limiting its otherwise extremely impressive power.
Whack comes in several variations:
- Whack - the most basic version of the spell; targets one character
- Thwack - targets one group of characters
- Kathwack - targets the entire enemy party

Dragon Quest IV
Brey learns Whack.
Trivia
- In an interview with Nintendo Power magazine, series creator Yuji Horii noted that the AI in Dragon Quest IV was built such that in its original version, the Brey's algorithms would always conclude Whack and the character would end up casting it turn after turn, simply because it "could not get over the power of the spell." The problem was halfway corrected in the balance-adjusted PS2 remake, except that he almost never cast Whack.
