'''Needle Shot''' is a ~~recurring~~ ability in the ~~franchise~~. ~~It fires~~ a needle~~-thin projectile~~ that has a chance to hit ~~the enemy in the soft spot (killing them instantly). Otherwise, the arrow will inflict 1 damage~~.

'''Needle Shot''' is a [[Bow (weapon type)|bow]] ability in the series.

==Characteristics==

This ability attempts to instantly kill a single enemy with an arrow by targeting their vitals. However, if it fails, it will only deal 1 point of damage, making it similar to the [[Poison needle]] weapon.

*In ''Dragon Quest Heroes II'', Needle Shot shoots an arrow that deals low damage, but has a high chance of landing a critical hit instead of causing instant death.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ8}}===

{{Descriptions

|DQ8=Capable of felling an enemy instantly if a vital area is hit.<ref>Sony PlayStation 2, Mobile, and Nintendo 3DS versions.</ref>

}}

Needle Shot costs 1 MP to use and has a {{fraction|1|16}} (6.25%) of instantly killing a single enemy; if the instant death does not succeed, it will only deal a single point of damage. The success rate is based on the monster's resistance to [[Whack]]. Therefore, if a monster is immune to Whack, the ability will always fail. It can be learned by [[Angelo]] by investing 25 skill points into his Bow skill. Once Angelo has investing 100 skill points into the Bow skill, it will upgrade into [[Needle Rain]].

==={{DQ9}}===

Needle Shot costs 1 MP to use and has a {{fraction|1|8}} (12.5%) chance of instantly killing a single enemy. Once again, it will only deal 1 point of damage if it does not succeed. In this game, it is able to effectively deal damage to [[Metal slime family|metal slimes]]. Needle Shot can be learned by investing 35 skill points into the [[List of bow skills in Dragon Quest IX|Bow skill]].

[[Angelo]] can ~~use '''Needle Shot'''~~ as a ~~bow technique after allocating 25 skill points into the associated skill~~. ~~Once he masters the skill tree by allocating 100 points, it is replaced by '''Needle Rain''' (which launches 3~~~4 ~~arrows)~~. ~~Both cost 1 MP to use, and have an instant death rate of 1~~/~~16th.~~

Needle Shot costs 6 MP to use, shooting off an arrow that deals a low amount of damage, but has a high chance of landing a [[Critical Hit|critical hit]]. It can be learned by [[Angelo]] when his Bow proficiency reaches rank 8, while [[Lazarel]] and [[Teresa]] can learn it as a [[Thief]] or [[Sage]] when their Bow proficiency reaches rank 6.
