Fisticuffs Skill Set for Hero

Fisticuffs are the most useless Skill Set for all of the characters in Dragon Quest VIII. However there's one ability in Fisticuffs you'll want to get on at least one member of your team, I prefer Yangus to get the ability over the Hero. This ability is Thin Air, it deals 40 - 50 base damage and increases up to a total of 135 depending on your level.
