Starstrike is a recurring whip skill in the series. It attempts to dazzle a group of monsters with a blinding light.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest X[edit]
Starstrike can be learned by Mages, Thieves, Luminaries, Monster Masters, and Fortune Tellers by investing 35 points into their Whip skill. It differs from most whip skills by targeting a single enemy with the physical strike itself, but the burst of light-elemental energy also damages surrounding enemies for 40% of the initial strike's total. The dazzle effect can last for up to one minute.
- In the Offline version of the game, it can be learned by the Hero as a Mage, Thief, or Luminary and Duston through the Whips panel in their character builders for 5 and 7 skill points respectively. It inflicts 100% light-elemental damage to a single group of enemies and has a chance to dazzle them, as well. The skill's damage and status ailment infliction rate can be increased further with skill-up panels.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]
Starstrike can be learned by Veronica and Sylvando through the Whips panel in their character builders for 14 and 6 skill points respectively. However, Veronica is only able to learn the skill after her character builder has been expanded in the postgame. It costs 5 MP to use and deals 110% light-elemental damage to one enemy group, with a 25% chance to dazzle each target.
Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End[edit]
Jessica will learn Starstrike at Whip proficiency level 2, and it costs 11 MP to use.
Dragon Quest Walk[edit]
Starstrike can be learned from various whips, including the Spiked steel whip and Gringham whip, and costs 5 MP to use. It inflicts 120% Bang-type physical damage to a single enemy and has a chance of enveloping them in illusions.
