'''Tongue Bashing''' is an ability which reduces the enemy's {{Defence}}. It is considered a stronger version of [[Tongue Lashing]] as it is capable of incapacitating a character or enemy for a single turn while also sharply decreasing their {{Defence}}.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3HD}}===
In the 2024 remake, Tongue Bashing is learned by [[Monster Wrangler]]s at level 20 if their wisdom exceeds 48 points. Tongue Bashing costs 7 {{MP}} and has an 80% chance to stun a foe before resistance is applied, but it does not lower defence in this game.

==={{DQ6}}===
Tongue Bashing is learned by advancing to either rank 4 of the [[Monster Master]] vocation or rank 6 of the [[Gadabout]] vocation. It will stun a target for one turn and reduce their {{Defence}} to 0 for that turn. The rate of success is based on the target's resistance to [[Sap]], rather their stun resistance.

Starting with the [[Nintendo DS]] version, the skill's success rate was changed to the target's stun resistance instead of their [[Sap]] resistance. This meant that it became possible to use the skill on certain {{MFamilies}}s such as [[metal slime]]s who are immune to [[Sap]], but not to being stunned.

It is used by the [[mechalomaniac]] enemy.

==={{DQ7}}===
Tongue Bashing is learned by advancing to either rank 7 as a [[Jester]] or rank 4 as a [[Lips (vocation)|Lips]]. It can also be used by various {{MFamilies}}s such as [[tongue fu master]] and [[pustule]]. Much like in the previous game, the skill's success rate was based on the target's [[Sap]] resistance.
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, the skill was changed once again to being based on the target's stun resistance instead of [[Sap]]. This meant that many bosses became much more resistant or outright immune to the skill due to their higher stun resistance. It can also be used by [[pucker sucker]]s, [[pustule]], [[carbuncle]], and [[mirror grimage]]s.

==={{DQ11}}===
Tongue Bashing is an enemy-only skill that can be used by [[kisser]]s and Vicious kissers. Instead of reducing a character's {{Defence}} to 0, it reduces it by two stages. In this game, resistance to both of the skill's effects are calculated separately, meaning it is possible for the victim to have their {{Defence}} reduced even if they are not stunned.

==={{DQM}}===
SickLick will stop the action of one foe and reduces their defence to 1 for a turn for 4 {{MP}}. It will be learned naturally by any {{MFamilies}} that could learn [[Tongue Lashing|LushLicks]] at level 13 as long as they have 81 max {{HP}} and 94 {{AGL}}, which includes [[Antguzzler|anteater]], [[Damselfly (DQVI)|fairydrak]], [[Maulusc|giantslug]], [[Walking corpse|hork]], [[Lips|lipsy]], [[Killer gila|poisongon]], [[Ghost|spooky]], [[Mottle slime|spotslime]] and [[Poxtongue|tonguella]].

==={{DQM2}}===
{{Stub}}

==={{DQM3}}===
Tongue Bashing costs 8 {{MP}} and has a base 40% chance to stun an enemy for one turn while also dropping it's defence to 1. It is learned through the [[Anaesthetist]], [[Enfeebler]], [[Enigma]], [[Fuzzy Thinker]], [[Nuisance]], [[Super Naturalist]], [[Tongue Twister]], [[Toxicologist]], [[Vaudevillain]], and [[Vexologist]] talents
*Tongue Bashing was nerfed on December 27 2023 with the v1.0.3 update patch lowering the stun chance to 30%, before enemy resistance applies

==={{DQTact}}===
Tongue Bashing can be learned by [[Smacker]] at level 36 and costs 20 {{MP}} to use. It has a chance to stun a single enemy and can lower their {{DEF}} for three turns.
