Muster Strength is an ability in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest IV as an enemy-exclusive ability before players could start using it themselves in Dragon Quest V.
It builds up energy for the next attack, dealing 200%~250% damage on their next attack. This attack can still miss the target, however, unlike the stronger version of this skill called Focus Strength (note this doesn't apply to Dragon Quest V, where the two abilities are identical aside from their name).
