==Appearances==

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
This ability is learned with 6 skill points allocated into [[List of shield skills in Dragon Quest IX|Shield skill]]. Damage dealt is half that of a normal attack, and requires 4 MP to use.

==={{DQ11}}===
[[Hendrik]] will learn the skill for 9 points in his shield path. It cost 3 MP to perform and works as it did in the previous appearance.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
The [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]]'s forward-tilt attack resembles blockenspiel, being a shield bash followed up with a sword slash. The first hit deals 5% damage and can block attacks, and the second hit deals 8% damage.
