Breast Attack is the Distaff Counterpart to Groin Attack, since receiving blunt trauma to the breasts is painful for women, though maybe not as painful as Groin Attack is for men (not that many people can be a proper judge of that). The nipples are also rather sensitive, though this is also true for men to a lesser extent.
In reality, a Groin Attack is much more dangerous and painful for women than a Breast Attack, not even so much because of genitalia but more because of being a site of most major vital nerves and blood vessels to the lower extremities. However, in a fight, breasts are a much easier target, which is why the Breast Attack is much more common than a female Groin Attack.
A Breast Attack is sometimes intended to show that the male attacker is playing dirty (and against a woman too, how reprehensible!). Even worse if done in a sexual way to show dominance against a weaker girl. You're supposed to wince at this one, but this trope is occasionally Played for Laughs. If the victim is already a Butt-Monkey, it's okay to laugh. Or if it's a woman doing it to another woman. Or a man getting a purple nurple.
Note that in Real Life this attack is, no matter who does it, almost always considered a low blow (so to speak) and can cause minor injury, which is why we recommend that you Don't Try This at Home (unless of course a female attacker is threatening your safety).
Contrast Female Groin Invincibility (when women take no damage from a Groin Attack even though they should) and Torpedo Tits (when breasts attack you). Also contrast Primal Chest-Pound, when a character hits his own chest (usually a male, as it's a lot less painful for them).
If you thought of a certain Woody Allen film, that's kinda an example (when the rogue boob gets captured) and for Torpedo Tits...but definitely not what we intended.

(This is Bowdlerized in the current English version, though the original one had it intact.)
- Ranma ½, instead of punching, grabbing hold and squeezing is a common trick (mostly by the Tendo sisters) to subdue Ranma in female form, mostly because Ranma - a guy who's cursed to transform into a woman - is still unused to the enhanced sensitivity and because it's funny.

This is in her top breast pocket for easy use and takes the full force of the spell from several yards away. What he does not know is that after the successful first use of this spell, the Omnicons have had makeshift protection added, in the form of soratorium and octiron.

- Joey Ryan often ends up facing women. One of his moves is the "Boobplex", where he gives a German suplex while grabbing the breasts instead of the waist. However, he is willing to substitute man boobs, as Greg Excellent discovered in CZW.
- Pentagon Jr. is famous for slapping the chest of his opponent while they are leaned against the ropes. Unfortunately for his female opponents, his slap knows no gender, and he will strike a female's breast no less hard than he would a man.
- An unintentional example happened between a match of Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair. While Sasha Banks was attempting a chop, she hit at a lower angle that Divas aim for, and visibly hit Charlotte right in one of her breast. In the prime of Dawn Marie, Molly Holly and Trish Stratus's runs, however, cops to the breasts were to be expected, even by the baby face Stratus as a hold over from her heel run.
- Played for Laughs in Ride the Cyclone, as it's the only real on-stage violence in a show about six teenagers who die in a horrific roller coaster accident. Extreme Doormat Constance, the "nicest girl in town," punches her best friend Ocean in the breast when she can no longer put up with her Ocean's self-centered attitude and backhanded compliments.
Ocean: Ouch! You punched me! In the friggin' boob!
- In Bayonetta, this can occur if the player selects "No" on the game over screen. Doubles as a rare female Groin Attack, since out of all the hands that will grab Bayonetta, two of them go over her boobs and one goes right on her crotch. She effectively gets dragged down to Inferno by her boobs and lady parts.
- In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), this is most notable on certain executions done to Mara in her outfits that consists of just a small crop top and leggings, as those make her appear more buxom. There's one where she gets stabbed in the chest and grabs the wounded area before she's killed, and there's another execution where someone jams a machete into her chest to kill her.
- Another execution on Mara, shown here◊, has her getting brutally stabbed in the breast three times before getting shoved to the ground, knife still embedded in her massive chest, to die. No amount of bra padding is going to save her there.
- In Dead or Alive, many moves could be construed to target the breasts if done to a female, but Eliot's moveset in particular (the youngest male fighter in the game) has several moves that seem almost specifically intended to grab and attack the breasts of the female fighters.
- As is common in the series, the God of War series features a brutal kill animation, which involves one: With sufficiently weakened Temple Siren enemies in the original game or basic Sirens in the sequel, Kratos stabs his signature chained blades into their breasts in order to swing them up and over his head before slamming them down to crush their skulls.
- The game ''Grave Prosperity" has a brutal one. The main character gets impaled in her stomach, then gets forced down the blade, which slices her in half by going through her chest and shoulder.
- The DLC The Vestigial Princess has even more brutal examples:
- In one kill, the main character gets a nasty slash across her chest, gets her jaw ripped off, and gets impaled through the eye for good measure.
- In another, she gets the entire right half of her body bitten off, with a monster's teeth biting down directly into one of her boobs. It ends up ripping the other half of her dress off, completely exposing her other breast entirely.
- Then there's one where the main character is attacked by a giant hand monster that has a mouth in the center of its palm. The monster's bites into her boobs and peels them off her body, bringing the rest of the front of her torso with them.
- The DLC The Vestigial Princess has even more brutal examples:
- Inverted with Narmaya in Granblue Fantasy Versus. Her standing jab has a hitbox on her breasts.
- In Injustice 2, you can achieve this by doing Deadshot's Never Miss move on a female opponent, where he stabs his blade into her chest. When done on the massive Power Girl, Deadshot will stuff his knife deep into her ample cleavage, making it appear that her boobs are holding the blade in place.
- In Momodora: Reveries Under the Moonlight, this is how you have to win the boss fights against Lubella, Witch of Decay. Lubella is a giant so large that only her upper body and head loom over the battle arena, with her giant boobs providing the biggest, uh, "hitboxes" for you to attack.
- Mortal Kombat:
- In Mortal Kombat 11, Geras' Phasing Through Time Fatality is an example of this. As poor Jacqui learns here, he uppercuts a breast off a female fighter, before obliterating her head in this Fatality.
- Kotal Kahn's "Kat Food" Fatality also is an example. Against a female opponent, he stabs his blades into her chest and completely rips her breasts apart.
- The Kollector's For The Kollection Fatality becomes this on a woman. Shown here on Skarlet, he kicks her to the ground, places both hands on her breasts, then proceeds to violently rip and shred them right off as she screams in agony. Finally, he steals her organs, rips off her head, and smashes what's left of her torso to complete the Fatality.
- Mileena's second Fatality, Violent Delights, results in this when done on any woman. Shown here on Kitana◊, Mileena uses claw extensions on her fingertips to completely destroy the bottom of the princess' boobs and leave a wicked gash around nipple-height. At least she wasn't alive too long to suffer.
- In Mortal Kombat X, Kitana's Dark Fan-Tasy Fatality, when done to a woman, is an example of this. Kitana will throw one of her fan-blades in between the breasts of a female opponent and open it, splitting said opponent's breasts in half lengthwise.
- Jason's Kill for Mother Fatality slices right through the breast of any woman he kills. Particularly noticeable on well-endowed women like Jacqui in her tank top.
- Goro's Peek-A-Boo Fatility results in this, if done to a woman. In this example, he pushes a screaming Cassie's head into her sternum, grabs her breasts, and rips off her entire chest to complete the Fatality.
- Resident Evil:
- In the original Resident Evil 2, Claire gets impaled through her chest by the claws of the G-Creature.
- In Resident Evil 2 (Remake), Corrupt Cop Chief Irons actually kicks Claire in the breasts◊ making her fall to the ground after handcuffing her at gunpoint, (the fact that Irons is a known sex offender only makes this worse).
- Jill gets this in Resident Evil 3 (Remake) as one of the death animations she can get from Nemesis, is him choking Jill before shooting his Combat Tentacles directly into her breasts.
- Resident Evil 4:
- When Ashley was in the machine to remove the plagas from her body, the machine aimed its burning material at her breast◊ a good number of times.
- In the Separate Ways DLC, Ada can get stabbed in her breasts by Krauser's mutated blade arm in her fight with him.
- Resident Evil 5:
- Poor Jill Valentine not only has a virus-injecting device implanted between her breasts, but to save her, Chris and Sheva painfully remove it from Jill's sternum ripping out several wires that were inside her breasts.
- From the Lost in Nightmares DLC, if Jill fails the QTE to dodge Wesker's attack, he'll plunge his hand straight into her bosom, killing her.
- Resident Evil 6:
- Ada can be impaled through her chest by the mutated Deborah.
- Two of Sherry's death animations involve getting a chainsaw to her boobs from Ustanak and Ubistvo respectively.
- In Resident Evil: Revelations 2 one of the traps Claire can activate skewers her through her breasts with two spikes.
- Similar to Dead or Alive, in Soul Series, all but one of Siegfried's throws look like they're intended to grab or attack the female fighters' breasts, although this may be because of his short height. His front grab, hilt impact, looks as though he is grabbing at the female fighters' breasts before holding them by their faces. His second front grab involves him shoulder ramming them, which often results in his shoulder ramming into their breasts. His right-side grab and back grab, involve him wrapping his arm around their body to restrain them, which often leads to him wrapping his arm around their chest area.
- When Balrog gained a throw in Street Fighter II he would headbutt the heads of his opponent, even the sole female at the time Chun-Li got headbutted in the back of her head. However, when Cammy debuted Balrog picks her up and headbutts her breast instead.
- Becky in Rumble Roses has the "Extreme Becky-Rana'' when she is in her Superstar form. This lethal attack has Becky turn a Hurricanrana into a seated Ground Pound with her backside landing on her opponent's breast◊. Becky then sits on her opponent's breast until she kicks out or the 3-count pin.
- Super Smash Bros. tried to avert this by having the "true" female characters such as Zelda and Zero Suit Samus and many of the characters who can be female such as Robin be grabbed by their hands when the character is successfully grabbed. However, some of the males (e.g Ganondorf) when actually doing a throw action are seen grabbing the girls by their breast◊ as the area to hold on to while throwing them.
- Tekken sees Heihachi's win pose where he lifts his opponent's head, berates them and smashes it into the ground. If one notices while lifting his opponent their torso also goes up. A more endowed lady wouldn't have to worry too much about their pretty little face being smashed in as her breast would take a good amount of the impact for it.
- Several death animations that can befall Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (2013) involve her poor bosom getting horrifically stabbed and skewered in gratuitous fashion. The very first death Lara can get in the game involves a creepy cultist swinging a pickaxe down on her breasts killing her, given the implications of sexual violence in the game, this is likely intentional.
- A staple of Porkchop 'n Flatscreen!, where it happens - at the very least - Once per Episode. There's even a compilation of them here.
- In Baked Goods Bunnie's choice of Avatar The Last Air Bender-style power would be boobie-bending. Which she then demonstrates by having Dawnie's own breast hit her in the face.
- Some of the anthro insects in Dreamwalk Journal get stung right in their Non-Mammal Mammaries (amongst other places), but it's a subversion because (being an erotic comic) the stings inflict pleasure rather than pain.
- Exiern has a classic one: The main character Tiffany is a male barbarian hero who has been trapped in female form by an evil wizard. She wants to be a man again but since she's a barbarian she absolutely hates the local priesthood. So her sidekick Peonie ties her to the altar—for her own good, of course—and orders the priests to attempt the ritual. After the inevitable failure, Peonie admits in trepidation that she'd been counting on Wouldn't Hit a Girl to stave off retribution. Cut to the next page, where Peonie can't get over her shock that Tiffany "punched me in the boob"!

- In Archer Lana occasionally has her breasts subjected to this, in "The Honeymooners" a North Korean agent kicks her in the bosom, hurting her so much that she has to sit out of the fight to rub her breasts.
