'''Whack''' or '''Beat''' is a recurring spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It instantly reduces the target's HP to 0.
#REDIRECT [[Whack]]
 
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

[[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.
