Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai[edit | edit source]

Air Slash is the last of the three fundamental techniques of the Avan-style sword school, and by far the hardest to master. Opening their third eye, the user sheathes their sword and then performs a draw-cut which strikes directly at the spirit of the opponent. This technique is capable of isolating and destroying Flazzard's core from among a cloud of pebbles, as well as cutting the strands of Dark Aura wielded by Mystvearn.

Once mastered, the principles of Air Slash can be combined with Earth Slash and Wave Slash to perform the school's ultimate technique, Avan Strash.

Avan developed counterparts of this technique for other weapons as well, though the only one shown in the series is the spear-based Air Strike.

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: A Hero's Bonds[edit | edit source]

Air Slash appears as a piercing Slash-type sword skill that Avan and the Luminary Leader can use. It shoots energy forward and has a chance to lower the magical attack of the enemy.

A stronger version of it, Mighty Air Slash, appears as Avan's default special move.
