Birdcutter is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series. It is a skill associated with the Clockwork cuckoo and other mechanical birds in which they transform themselves into a sharp blade and slice into a group of enemies.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VIII[edit]

Clockwork cuckoos have the ability to transform themselves into a sharp blade to attack, although the skill would not be known as Birdcutter until the next game. It deals 12~18 non-elemental damage to the entire party that can only be reduced by defending. The skill can also be used by Mechabubo.

Dragon Quest IX[edit]

Birdcutter is an enemy-only skill that can only be used by Clockwork cuckoos in this game. It inflicts slightly less damage, only dealing 10~15 non-elemental damage to the entire party that can only be reduced by defending.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Birdcutter can be used once again by Clockwork cuckoos and it can also be learned by a Mecha-mynah monster companion. It costs 2 MP to use and inflicts 130% potency physical damage on nearby enemies.

Dragon Quest XI[edit]

Birdcutter returns to being an enemy-only skill that can be used by Clockwork cuckoos and their malicious counterparts. In 3D versions of the game, it targets 2-4 party members and can now be dodged, while in 2D mode, it targets the entire party. When used, the in-game text states that the clockwork cuckoo "becomes a blurring blade!".

Monster Damage range
Clockwork cuckoo 22~26
Malicious clockwork cuckoo 77~91
