Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai[]
This the ultimate technique of the Avan-style with which he created to defeat Hadlar 15 years ago, looking like a shining attack. To use it properly, it is needed to learn Earth, Sea and Sky techniques with a weapon, combining Power, Speed and Aura control. With the sword it would be the Earth Slash, Wave Slash and Air Slash.
It exists in two variants: the Avan Strash Arrow, which creates a long-range air projectile attack and the Avan Strash Break, which is a direct hit of the sword.
Dai and Hyunckel learned only the Earth Slash and Wave Slash, and thus their Avan Strash was incomplete.
After Dai managed to learn the Air Slash and thus the complete version, he learned the Arrow version through the Book of Avan with the help of Nova. Dai created the Avan Strash Cross which combines the Arrow and Break type so that the opponent receives both at exactly the same time and creating an attack about 5 times as strong as the usual Avan Strash. It requires inhuman reflexes from a Dragon Knight to be performed.
It can be combined with a spell by Dragon Knights by using their Magic Sword Coup de Grâce. Dai used the Zap Strash by combining it with Zapple and the Giga Strash by combining the Avan Strash with Gigabreak which itself is a Magic Sword coup de grâce combining a sword attack with Kazap.
During the final battle against Vearn, Dai uses his completed Dragon Crest to its fullest power and potential by transmitting all of his magical power into his own sword, creating the Final Strash, a stronger version of the Giga Strash (however, it was never named).
Jump Force[]
All three versions are used by Dai in the game.
Dragon Quest Tact[]
Learned by Dai at level 80, it costs 72 MP to use and deals 400% physical Zap damage to all enemies in range. It requires 2 turns to use and can be used 3 times.

Trivia[]
- "Strash" is a coined word from both Strike + Slash or Strike + Crash.[1]
- Dai's move was localised as "Cross" and used "C" as its initial instead of the original "X", but the upcoming tie-in "Xross Battle" scan battler game seem to indicate a new preferred way of localising this move.
