C'mon everybody! Hustle, hustle!— A character performing the Hustle Dance
Hustle Dance is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series.
Description[]
Typically learnt by Dancers and/or Luminaries, this skill invokes buff effects that can vary by title. In its most common incarnation, Hustle Dance restores a moderate amount of HP to all active party members.
Appearances[]
Dragon Quest VI[]
Making its debut, Hustle Dance is learnt by advancing to rank 6 of the Luminary vocation. The dance also heals those resting in the wagon and costs 0 MP to use.
Dragon Quest VII[]
Same as VI in the PSX version, but also learnt by reaching rank 3 of the Druid vocation in the 3DS remake and costs 0 MP to use once again. In the latter, the amount of HP restored has been reduced to 50~60.
Dragon Quest VIII[]
Acting the same as in its last appearances, it is learned by Jessica after allocating 100 skill points into her Sex Appeal skill tree. It costs 0 MP to use once again and is also used by Caped caperers and Volpones in battle to heal their allies.
Dragon Quest IX[]
Acting the same as in previous appearances, it can be performed by any character that has the Further Fanmanship (quest #76) item in their inventory. It costs 0 MP to use once again, and is also used by Sluggerslaughts and Boogie manguinis in battle.
Dragon Quest X[]
Learnt when 100 skill points are invested in the Minstrel's Litheness skill tree, it acts mostly the same as in its last 3 appearances. However, it costs 8 MP to use, making this the first main series game to have a MP consumption for the skill while the recovery amount is now dependent is on the Charm stat, contrary to earlier titles in which Magical Mending is determinant of its power. It is also used by Pink bonbons, Bags o' sweets, Snowballs, Tufty tots, Trickstars, Chomp stars, Crankiids, Pretty cat flies, Demon Clown Gazer, Star Devil, and Bondiri, as well Sluggerslaughts and Caped Caperers once again. It can also be learned by recruited Prancing pillars by investing 40 skill points into their Enter Step skill tree, with 15% more recovery by investing 50 skill points into the same skill tree after the 10th reincarnation, as well as recruited Pocus poppets from 4.2 onwards, by investing 25 skill points into their Dolly skill tree and with 30% more health regained being learned by investing 43 skill points, though from 5.2 onwards, it is reduced to 15% more health regained. In the Offline version of the game, it is learned by the Hero at level 50 in the Minstrel vocation, and by investing 10 skill points into Mjoll's Power skill tree and 15 skill points into Dasuton's Junk skill tree. Unlike the original Online version, it costs 10 MP to use for the first time since Dragon Warrior Monsters 2.
Dragon Quest XI[]
Sylvando can learn Hustle Dance by investing 14 skill points in the Showmanship section of his Character Builder, with the amount of HP recovered dependent on Sylv's Charm stat, similar to X. It costs 12 MP to use for the first time since Caravan Heart, and is used by Grey gordons and Abyssal octopots, as well as Caped Caperers and Bags o' Sweets once again, but when used by a Grey gordon gone Malicious, it Peps itself and its allies up on top of healing them. It is also used by the Circus Novice during the In Search of Hope side story.
