List of litheness skills in Dragon Quest IX
Litheness (きょくげい kyokugei) skills are learned via the Minstrel class.
Hot Lick[edit | edit source]
Sends forth jets of flame to attack a single enemy. This move is very weak; even a high-level character only does 20-25 damage with it. It is, however, required to unlock the Luminary vocation. Costs 2 MP to use and 4 skill points to learn.
Pratfall[edit | edit source]
Targeted enemy group may miss their next turn. Similar to War Cry. Requires 16 skill points to learn.
Sobering Slap[edit | edit source]
In combat, dispels confusion from one party member. Though not listed in description, it also awakens sleeping party members. This technique requires 2 MP to use, and 32 skill points to learn.
Tap Dance[edit | edit source]
Increases evasion by 50% for 6~9 turns. Requires 55 skill points to learn.
Have a Ball[edit | edit source]
Hits randomly selected enemies six to eight times, each ball striking for 30% of a normal attack's damage. This ability is very useful against low-end metal monsters, as each ball is treated as a separate attack. Costs 8 MP to use and 82 skill points to learn.
Gritty Ditty[edit | edit source]
It increases every party member's Attack by one level (25%). Costs 16 MO to use and requires the 'Minstrel's Manual' in a character's inventory to use.
Passive Bonuses[edit | edit source]
