'''Muster Strength''' is an ability in the {{DQSeries}} that first appeared in {{Dragon Quest IV}} as an enemy-exclusive ability before players could start using it themselves in {{Dragon Quest V}}.  

It builds up energy for the next attack, dealing 200%~250% damage on their next attack. This attack can still miss the target, however, unlike the stronger version of this skill called [[Focus Strength]] (note this doesn't apply to {{Dragon Quest V}}, where the two abilities are identical aside from their name).

Muster Strength is used by [[Mad mole]], [[Tricksy]], [[Abominable showman]], [[Bagworm]], [[Hellion]], [[Estark]], and {{Chow Mein}}.

Muster Strength is learned by [[Kingsley]] at Level 5. Other characters can obtain it by advancing to rank 2 of the [[Merchant]] vocation.

 

It is used by the enemies [[Loathsome leek]], [[Haardvark]], [[Scarewell]], [[Second Test]], [[Bigg]], [[Tower sentry]], [[Jackal ripper]], [[Stout troll]], and [[Cabot]].

It can be learned by reaching rank 5 in the [[Thief]] vocation, rank 4 in the [[Rockbomb (vocation)|Rockbomb]] vocation, and rank 2 in the [[Golem (vocation)|Golem]] vocation.

 

It is used by the enemies [[Stone golem]], [[Gold golem]], [[Collum o' golem]], [[Night knight]], [[Glowering Inferno]], [[Harmour]], [[Damned well]], [[Half hog]], [[Whole hog]], [[Hell hog]], [[Splatterhorn]], [[Enormoose]], [[Ginormoose]], [[Moostapha]], and [[Setesh the Punisher]].

Muster Strength returns as an enemy-only skill since [[Tension]] does not exist in this game. It can be used by enemy [[Golem]]s and their palette swaps.

Called ChargeUp in this game, this ability can be learned by various {{MFamilies}}s. It requires the {{MFamilies}} to be at least Level 14, with at least 98 {{HP}}, 84 {{Defence}}. It is naturally learned by the [[Spiked hare|Almiraj]], [[Bullfinch|BullBird]], [[Wild slime|FangSlime]], [[Gigantes]], [[Walking stick|GoHopper]], [[Golem]], [[Hammerhood|HammerMan]], [[Mad mole|MadGopher]], [[Ornery onion|Oniono]] and [[Guaardvark|Skullroo]].

*ChargeUp can also be combined with other skills in order to learn a completely new skill. This includes [[Lightning Slash|BoltSlash]] (with [[Lightning]]), [[Flame Slash|FireSlash]] (with [[Frizzle|Blazemore]]), [[Focus Pocus|Focus]] (with [[Deep Breath|SuckAir]] and [[Meditation|Meditate]]), [[Kacrackle Slash|IceSlash]] (with [[Crackle|SnowStorm]]), [[Kamikaze|Sacrifice]] (with [[Body Slam|Ramming]]), and [[Gust Slash|VacuSlash]] (with [[Cyclown|WindBeast]]).

The requirements to learn ChargeUp are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[Beavern]], [[Darck]], [[Well wisher|EvilWell]], [[Pearl gel|PearlGel]] and [[Stainless scrapper|ProtoMech]] among others. The [[Mad mole|MadGopher]] no longer naturally learns this ability.

Muster Strength appears as a special skill that is known by default by various {{MFamilies}}s, such as [[Archdemon]], [[Moosifer]], and [[Mad mole]], and can also be learned by [[Rockbomb]] at Level 5 and [[Cyclops]] at Level 16.

Muster Strength is known naturally by [[Bullion]], [[Grinade]], [[Hym]], [[Jackal ripper]], [[Shogum]], and [[Spiked club]] at level 1, costing 16 {{MP}} to use. When used, it increases the user's physical potency and recovery by 50% for 1 turn. [[Heavy hood]] and [[Maulrus]] can learn the awakening perk '''Rare Muster Strength''', which gives them a 20% chance to activate Muster Strength at the start of each action. [[Golem]] can learn the perk '''Sporadic Muster Strength''' through Talent Blossoming, which gives it a 40% chance to activate Muster Strength at the start of each action, while [[Bewarewolf]] can learn '''Instant Muster Strength''', which activates Muster Strength at the start of each battle.

Muster Strength costs 5 {{MP}} and lasts for a brief period of time instead of just one attack. It is learned by [[Glacial golem]]s, [[Golden goliath]]s, [[Golem]]s, [[Great sabrecat]]s, [[Grotty hand]]s, [[King she-slime]]s, the [[Magmantes]], and [[Slime]]s.
