'''Falcon Slash''' is a recurring skill in the {{DQSeries}}. It attacks twice in one turn, each strike at 75% power in most instances.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3HD}}===
Falcon Slash was retroactively added to the 2024 remake, learned by the {{Hero 3}} as early as level 30 if his or her wisdom exceeds 117 points. Each slash deals 70% damage and are affected by [[Oomph]] and [[Egg On]], and the skill costs 9 {{MP}}.
*The May 23rd, 2025 update patch has buffed Falcon Slash to deal 75% damage per strike
==={{DQ6}}===
In the original {{Super Famicom}} version, the damage was calculated with the user's {{Attack}} stat, rather than with their normal attack damage. It was changed in remake versions of the game to function the way it does in {{VIII}} and later, dealing two slashes at 75% total damage rather than lower the {{Attack}} stat before calculations are made. Falcon Slash is already known by [[Lizzie]] and [[Terry]] when they join the {{Party 6}}, and is learned by [[Goowain]] at level 25. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 7 of the [[Warrior]] vocation.

It is used by the enemies [[Pesky jester]], [[Jugular joker]], [[Commander Brutus]], [[Hacksaurus]], [[Crayzee]], [[Terry (boss)]], and [[Nokturnus]].

==={{DQ7}}===
Falcon Slash is learned by reaching rank 6 of the [[Gladiator]] vocation in the {{PSX}} version.
*In the {{3DS}} remake it is learned at rank 6 of the Gladiator, rank 2 of the [[Champion]], rank 8 of the [[Dingbat (vocation)|Dingbat]], and rank 6 of the [[Slaughtomaton (vocation)|Slaughtomaton]] vocations. It also costs 2 {{MP}} to use, and as with the remake of {{VI}} it now uses the standard damage calculation set by {{VIII}}.

It is used by the enemies [[Whopper hopper]] and [[Silver scrapper]].

==={{DQ8}}===
Falcon Slash is a sword technique that both the the {{Hero 8}} and [[Angelo]] can learn. It requires 52 skill points by the {{Hero 8}}, and 40 skill points by [[Angelo]], and damage calculation is set as two strikes at 3/4th strength for an approximate total of 150% damage for 0 {{MP}}. Equipping the [[Falcon blade]] or its upgrade will allow a character to slash four times at once.

Is is used by the enemy [[Hacksaurus]] and the recruitable Infamous Monster [[Hackzilla]].

==={{DQ9}}===
This ability requires 2 {{MP}} to use and is learned with 58 skill points invested into [[List of sword skills in Dragon Quest IX|Sword skill]]. If a [[Falcon blade]] or an [[Über falcon blade]] is equipped, Falcon slash will deal 4 successive hits each time it is used.

==={{DQ10}}===
{{Stub}}

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Hero 11}} will learn Falcon Slash for 16 points in the ''Swordmastery'' panel of his character builder, [[Erik]] with 18 points through the ''Guile'' panel of his character builder, and [[Hendrik]] through his ''Heroism'' panel for 16 skill points. It costs 4 {{MP}} to use, and hits for full damage on each strike with a higher chance for a [[Critical Hit]].

==={{DQM}}===
Although Falcon Slash does not appear in the game, the skill [[BiAttack]] is functionally identical.

==={{Dragon Quest Heroes}} & {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}===
Falcon Slash is one of [[Terry]]'s skills.

==={{DQRivals}}===
Falcon Slash appears as a card.

==={{DQTact}}===
