'''Critical Claim''' is a skill in the series. 

==Characteristics==
An ability that launches a guaranteed [[Critical Hit]] against a single enemy, which ignores both dodging and blocking. It originally debuted as the [[Warrior]]'s [[Coup de Grâce]] in ''Dragon Quest IX'', before becoming a normal skill starting with ''Dragon Quest XI''. To compensate for this, it will typically cost a large amount of MP to use.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2HD}}===
Critical Claim costs 64 MP to use and deals a guaranteed critical hit to a single enemy. It can be learned by the [[Prince of Midenhall]], [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], or [[Princess of Cannock]] by using a Critical Claim Scroll. The scroll can be received as a reward by defeating [[Xenlon]] within a certain number of turns and selecting the wish "Learn a Damage-Dealing Ability". Multiple scrolls can be obtained by defeating Xenlon more than once.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Critical Claim costs 64 MP to use and deals a guaranteed critical hit to a single enemy, much like in ''Dragon Quest XI''. It can be learned by a [[Martial Artist]] starting at Level 47 if their [[Wisdom]] exceeds 142. The ability can be used with any weapon equipped. If the player sets their Tactics to "Show No Mercy", it will prioritise using Critical Claim on metal slimes.

==={{DQ9}}===
Critical Claim is a Coup de Grâce for [[Warrior|Warriors]]. The user swings a sword of light down on the opponent, dealing a guaranteed critical hit, making it very useful for hunting [[Metal slime family|metal slimes]].

==={{DQ10}}===
Critical Claim returns as a special move for the [[Warrior]]. Instead of a sword of light, Critical Claim is now displayed as a powerful punch. For versions 1.0~2.0 the ability had the same function as it did in ''IX'', but as of the 2.1 update it now has a spread effect that damages monsters within half a meter of the selected target.

}}
Critical Claim costs 64 MP to use and deals a guaranteed critical hit to a single enemy. It can be learned by [[Erik]] for 20 skill points through the ''Guile'' panel in his Character Builder when it has been expanded in act two after defeating [[Gyldygga]]. It is located near the very top of his Character Builder. In 3D versions of the game, Critical Claim still resembles its ''Dragon Quest X'' iteration. However, in the [[3DS]] version, the skill resembles the ''Dragon Quest IX'' iteration instead. Critical Claim can be combined with [[Divide]] in order to deal massive damage.
