Spike Strike is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series.
Apperances[]
Dragon Quest IX[]
Making its debut, it is used by Knocktopuses and Shocktopuses to hit groups of enemies for 8-15 points of damage. However, if they have high defenses, they will not take damage at all.
Dragon Quest XI[]
Acting mostly the same as in IX, it is used by Coralotls, Crystalotls, and Orgodelotl, hitting all enemies or at random by 6 in the 3DS version or 2D Mode of the Definitive Edition, but hits harder than in IX, and can cause paralysis, while the Past Master's version can cause envenomation and confusion in addition to paralysis. It is also used alongside Hoopthorne's Irresistible Dancing for the Siren Spike Strike Pep Power.
