Body Slam is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest IV as an enemy-exclusive ability before becoming a player-usable skill in later installments.

Upon use, it attempts to reduce both the user and target's HP by around 80%. Be wary of using this skill, as the player will still take damage even if they miss their target.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

It made its first appearance in this game, as a skill exclusively used by enemies. The skill is used by Bullfinch, King slime, Moosifer, Perilwinkle, and Chow Mein. Enemies will only use it when low on HP.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]

Body Slam is learned by several monster companions such as the Rockbomb. As the skill shares the same resistance tag with Kamikazee, only the Pink elephant, Blizzybody, Necromancer, Hades' helm, Hyperpyrexion, Mandrake marauder, Bomboulder, Moosifer, Balhib, Archdemon, Great dragon, Deathsquad, Mechan-o'-wyrm, Barbatos, Bilhaw, Metal slimes, and boss monsters have any resistance or immunity at all.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

Body Slam is learned by Kingsley at Level 10. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 6 of the Merchant vocation. Body Slam now uses the same resistance tag as Whack.

In the Super Famicom version the recoil damage is much less for human characters because all humans have an innate Whack resistance, giving the skill more utility. This oversight was corrected in the Nintendo DS remake.

It is used by the enemies Rotten cotton, Darkcrawler, Wayward armour, Armoured wartoise, Finned fatale, and Dreadful drackal.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

This ability is learned with 48 skill points invested into Courage skill. It is very useful for Quests that require a character to be at low health, giving it some added functionality.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Body Slam can be learned by investing 70 skill points into the Warrior's Courage skill. This time, it has the added effect of being able to stun an enemy, as well as having an 80% chance of knocking them back by several meters. It costs 4 MP to use and deals 125% damage of a normal attack. It can also be used by various monsters, including Barbatos, Dragon slime, and Drake slime.

Body Slam once again appears as an monsters-only skill that can be used by Toadies and Moosifers. It deals 110% damage to a single character and has no recoil effect.
