'''Zapple Strash''' is a [[sword]] technique introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]'' as one of [[Dai]]'s signature moves, an [[Avan Strash]] performed while channelling a ''Raidein'' ([[Zapple]]) spell through the user's weapon. In media where ''Raidein'' is translated as [[Zap]], this technique is instead known as '''Zap Strash'''.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]''===
After the heroes' disastrous first battle with [[Hyunckel]], whose armour repels both swords and spells, [[Popp]] comes up with the strategy of using a [[Zapple]] spell that can pass through metal. As only [[Hero]]es can use lightning magic but Dai lacks the skill to do so properly, they practice casting it collaboratively: Popp first using [[Reclimatize]] to create stormclouds overhead, then Dai calling down a Zapple fuelled by the storm's energy.

While this strategy succeeds in landing a direct hit on Hyunckel, he proves far more durable than expected and continues to dominate Dai in battle. In desperation, Dai instinctively uses the [[Dragon Knight]]'s Magic Sword ability to strike Hyunckel with a [[Frizz]]-imbued slash which damages his armour, then calls down another Zapple into his sword and channels its power through his imperfect [[Avan Strash]], creating a blow powerful enough to defeat Hyunckel.

Zapple Strash would remain Dai's strongest attack for a large portion of the series, until being surpassed by [[Avan Strash Cross]] and [[Giga Strash]] (the latter of which can be considered a fusion of Zapple Strash and [[Gigabreak]]).

[[Nova]]'s finishing move [[Northern Grand Blade]] has been described as equivalent to Zapple Strash in power.
