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

Overview

General Rilldo (possessed by Baby) uses the Mystic Attack

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

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 Galaxy, 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.

Battle robots such as the Cyclopian Guards, Bizu, Natt, the Super Mega Cannon Sigma, and General Rilldo can also extend their arms to catch or attack their opponents.

Variations

• Evil Flight Strike - A variation where the user flails around their elongated arms while ascending. Used by Piccolo as one of his Super Skills in Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2. It can also be used by the Future Warriors in both games if they are either a Namekian or Majin.
• Power of Darkness - Lord Slug's Ultimate Attack where he uses Namek Finger to grab the opponent to pull them towards him allowing him to deliver a series of punches and kicks before knocking the opponent away and finishing them off with an Eye Laser blast. Also known as Darkness Rush (Ranged) where it is exclusive to Lord Slug and Namekian Future Warrior (Xenoverse 2) in Xenoverse 2.

In Dragon Ball: 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. Namekian and Piccolo character can grab enemies using the Mystic Attack-based throw, giving their throw a greater range.

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.

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 Become Giant 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.
