'''Skysplitter''' is a sword skill which first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]'' as a creation of the hero [[Avan]]. It made its game debut in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'' as the wind equivalent of [[Gigaslash]], cutting through one group of foes with a vacuum blade.
==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]''===
Sky Slash is the last of the three fundamental techniques of the Avan-style sword school, and by far the hardest to master. Opening their third eye, the user sheathes their sword and then performs a draw-cut which strikes directly at the spirit of the opponent. This technique (and its spear counterpart Sky Strike) are capable of isolating and destroying [[Flazzard]]'s core from among a cloud of pebbles, as well as cutting the strands of dark Aura wielded by [[Myst-Vearn]].

Once mastered, the principles of Sky Slash can be combined with [[Earthsplitter|Earth Slash]] and [[Seasplitter|Wave Slash]] to perform the school's ultimate technique, [[Avan Strash]].

==={{DQ11}}===
The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] learns Skysplitter after speaking to the elder of [[Havens Above]] in the game's third act. It costs 16 MP to perform and will deal up to 210~250 damage. If the player has completed quest #60 then the MP cost will double, the base damage will be set to 200~240, and the limit will be raised to 400~440. The [[Sword of Light]] or one of its upgrades must be equipped in order to execute the technique.

'''Gigaslash''' is a recurring ability in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It slices through a group of enemies with a blade made of ferocious lightning, dealing incredible damage in every appearance.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]''===
A prototype of Gigaslash appears in this series in the form of Zapple Strash, a maneuver where Dai enhances the power of his finishing move [[Avan Strash]] by first channeling the power of a [[Zapple]] spell into his sword. Later he combines it with Baran's similar [[Gigagash|"Gigabreak"]] technique (based on [[Kazap]]) to create his most powerful attack, Gigastrash.

==={{DQ8}}===
[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The hero]] can learn '''Gigaslash''' as a sword-only technique after fully investing 100 skill points into either the "Sword" or "Courage" skills. If both skill are at maximum, he obtains [[Gigagash]] instead. The electrified slice targets one enemy group for 20 MP, and damage is calculated as '''lvl+180 +/- [20+lvl]''' for a cap of 207~239.

[[Angelo]] cannot learn this skill; he obtains [[Lightning Storm]] after mastering his sword skill instead.
