Blockenspiel is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series.
Appearances
Dragon Quest IX
Making its debut, it is learned with 6 skill points allocated into the Shield skill tree. Damage dealt is half that of a normal attack, and requires 4 MP to use. Leery louts can also use this skill against enemies in battle, as well as Gadrongo.
Dragon Quest X
Acting the same as in IX, it is learned when 40 skill points are invested into the Shield skill. It cost 3 MP to use in battle.
Dragon Quest XI
Hendrik will learn the skill for 9 points in his shield path. It cost 3 MP to perform, just like in X, and works as it did in its previous appearances.
