'''Pressure Pointer''' is an ability in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]] series. It may instantly kill an enemy, using the same resistance rates as [[whack]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3HD}}===
Pressure Pointer was retroactively added to the 2024 remake, where it can learned by [[Warrior]]s upon reaching level 21 if their wisdom exceeds 39 points. It costs 4 {{MP}} and has a 25% chance to instantly kill the target, dealing 50% damage if the trick fails. Incredibly the skill ignores the affects of [[Dazzle]] and [[Sandstorm]], as well as that of [[Oomph]], [[Muster Strength]], [[Egg On]], [[Attack Attacker]], [[Sap]], & [[Kasap]].
 
==={{DQ6}}===
Pressure Pointer tries to inflict a fatal strike; if it fails it deals 50% melee damage instead. It can be learned by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Martial Artist]] vocation.

==={{DQ7}}===
Learned in the same way as ''VI'' and functions identically.

==={{DQ9}}===
This ability is learned with 22 skill points invested into [[List of spear skills in Dragon Quest IX|Spear skill]]. Unlike before, the skill now has a fixed slay rate of 1/8th, meaning the skills can work just fine on metal slimes. 

==={{DQH2}}===
This ability is obtained by [[Kiryl]] after reaching Rank 2 in Proficiency. It costs 12 MP to use and has a chance of causing instant death to enemies pierced by it.
