Appearances[edit]

This ability is learned with 100 skill points allocated into Courage skill and costs 4 MP to use. Success depends on how resilient an enemy is to Blunt.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince[edit]

Attack Attacker costs 4 MP and attempts to lower an enemy's attack by 50% for 2~5 turns. It is affected by the target's vulnerability to debilitation, and is learned through the Defender, Multidisciplinarian, Naturalist, Paragon, Protector, Wild Child, and Zam Afficionado talents.

Dragon Quest Heroes II[edit]

In the Nintendo Switch version, Attack Attacker is a special skill that Ragnar can learn for 6 skill points. He delivers two slashes with his sword and reduces the enemy's Attack shortly. It is the only method in the game of reducing the enemy's attack.
