'''War Cry''' is a recurring ability in the {{DQSeries}}.

It tries to stun either all enemies or a single group with an intimidating scream.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3HD}}===
War Cry was retroactively added to the 2024 remake as a skilled learned at level 18 by the [[Monster Wrangler]]s if their wisdom exceeds 44 points. War Cry costs 4 {{MP}} and has a 1/3rd chance to stun all foes for a single turn, before accounting for stun resistances.

==={{DQ4}}===
War Cry makes its first appearance as an enemy-only skill that can be used by [[bullion]]s, [[cannibox]]es, [[peeper]]s, [[scarewell]]s, [[weartiger]]s, [[terrorflyer]]s, [[tigergram]]s, and [[well wisher]]s. [[Torneko Taloon]] is able to use a similar ability with his random antics when he shouts suddenly, having a chance to stun all enemies for a single turn.

==={{DQ5}}===
War Cry is used by monster companions such as the [[moosifer]].

[[Pink elephant]]s use it only as an enemy.

==={{DQ6}}===
War Cry tries to scare all enemies for one turn. It is learned by advancing to rank 5 of the [[Merchant]] vocation.

It is used by the enemies [[well wisher]]s, [[scarewell]]s, [[Bigg]], [[yawnoceros]], [[chompoceros]], [[dreadful drackal]]s, and [[gallows giant]]s.

==={{DQ7}}===
War Cry can be learned by advancing to rank 6 as a [[Martial Artist]] or rank 2 as a [[Well wisher (vocation)|Well wisher]]. On the enemy side, it can be used by [[damned well]]s, [[scarewell]]s, [[well wisher]]s, and the first battle against the [[Fire Spirit]].
* In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, it can no longer be learned by [[Martial Artist]]s, instead being learned by advancing to rank 2 as a [[Troubadour]]. War Cry can also be used by [[dreadful drackal]]s.

==={{DQ8}}===
[[Yangus]] can use War Cry after allocating 32 skill points into his "Humanity" skill.

Enemies who use it are [[mars rover]], [[seasaur]], [[argon lizard]], [[Dhoulmagus]] in his second form, [[blue fang]], [[dark turkey]], [[Leopold]], [[fowlfighter]], [[Dark devildog]], the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] in his Vermillion and Ultimate Dragon forms, [[Great Argon Lizard in Memoriam]], [[Dark Turkey in Memoriam]], and [[Sir Leopold in Memoriam]].

==={{DQ9}}===
This ability is learned with 4 skill points allocated into [[List of focus skills in Dragon Quest IX|Focus skill]]. War Cry is required to complete [[Template:DQIXQuest/97|Quest #090]]: Cry Wolf, where the {{Party 9}} will have to defeat 5 [[Scarewolf|scarewolves]] while they are frozen in fear.

==={{DQ10}}===
[[Martial Artist]]s can once again learn the skill by investing 70 points into their Focus skill. It costs 3 {{MP}} to use and attempts to shock all enemies near the user into a state of inaction. The success rate is dependent on the user's {{Deftness}} attribute.
*In the ''Offline'' version of the game, War Cry can be learned by the {{Hero 10}} as a [[Martial Artist]] at level 35 and it can be used by all vocations. It can also be learned by [[Mjoll]] through the ''Powerful'' panel in her character builder for 3 skill points. It costs 3 {{MP}} to use and affects one group of enemies.

==={{DQ11}}===
War Cry returns to being an enemy-only skill that can be used by several {{MFamilies}}s, including the [[auroral serpent]], [[black dragon]]s, [[fright bulb]]s, and [[weartiger]]s.

==={{DQM}}===
Called WarCry in this game, it requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 14 with 120 {{HP}}. It is naturally learned by the [[Winky|eyeball]], [[Wild slime|fangslime]], [[Drackal|gulpbeast]] and [[Eyevory tusk-tusk|trumpeter]], among others.

==={{DQM2}}===
The requirements to learn WarCry are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[drygon]], [[Well wisher|evilwell]] and [[mertiger]].
