Mystic Attack[8] (ミスティックアタック Misutikku Atakku) is a technique that allows the user to extend their arms to great lengths.

Overview[]

Namekians are able to use this technique by expanding and contracting the cells in their body through willpower.[1]

Usage and Power[]

The Mystic Attack is commonly seen in use by Piccolo, and most Namekians seem able to use this technique (like Lord Slug). It is also used by demonic characters, such as Angila, Majin Buu, and Janemba.

Frieza and his ancestor Chilled are both capable of extending their tails to incredible lengths in order to attack or constrict their opponent.

A fighter from the South Area, Caterpy, is also able to extend his arms, as shown when he does this to catch and slam Goku to the floor during their match in the Other World Tournament.

In the manga, Roasie and Kakunsa use it to restrain Android 18 in the Tournament of Power.

Penne Macareni later uses it to hit the switch to change train tracks.

In Xenoverse, Majin and Namekian characters can use the Mystic Attack as part of their basic combos, throws, and even certain Super Skills such as Evil Flight Strike and Explosive Buu Buu Punch.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, the Namekian version of this technique is called Namek Finger and can be used by Nail and Lord Slug as one of their Super Skills. It can also be obtained and used by a Namekian Future Warrior. Like Majins and Namekians in Xenoverse, Majins and Namekians in Xenoverse 2 can also use the Mystic Attack in their basic combos, grab/throw, and certain Skills such as the aforementioned Namek Finger, Evil Flight Strike, and Explosive Buu Buu Punch. Additionally, it also appears in Lord Slug's Darkness Rush (Ranged) Ultimate Skill where he uses the Mystic Attack to grab his opponent to unleash a rush attack combination then finishes the attack with an Eye Laser. Like Namek Finger, Darkness Rush (Ranged) is exclusive to Namekian characters. Also while in their Great Namekian form, Great Namek characters can use the Mystic Attack as their Strong Attack, allowing them to whip their arms around to perform as a sweeping attack.

In Dragon Ball Fusions, the Namekian version is called Decoy which drags the opponent in for a melee attack. There is a stronger version called Super Decoy. Additionally, there is another variation called Amazing Spear which is a rapid elongated punching rush before pulling the opponent towards the user to deliver an Energy Punch.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, it appears as one of Janemba's moves under the name Mystical Arm.
