Name Level
Hyperanemon --
Goodybag 7
Mandrake marshal 15
Old man of the sea 23
Hawk man 25
Magic marionette 30
Hero 32
Conkuistador 50
Epipany 55

Wight king, Moosifer, Kon the Knight, and Balhib use it as enemies.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

Kaswoosh is learned by advancing to rank 4 of the Paladin vocation, keeping the parameters of its previous appearance.

It is also used by the enemies High djinks, and Stormsgate Citadel (boss).

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

Kaswoosh is learned by advancing to rank 4 as a Paladin and rank 8 as the Draguar vocation.

In the Nintendo 3DS version, it can also be learned at rank 6 as a Sage, rank 5 as a Pirate, rank 2 as a Druid, and rank 5 as a Hero. However, it is an advanced spell and can only be learned permanently by mastering the Draguar vocation.

It can be cast by the enemies Vaipur, Djinn genie, Drakulard, Envoy, Hirsute hwxer, and Wind Spirit.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

Kaswoosh is learned by Angelo at level 32. It possesses a base damage of 64~144 for 8 MP, and will steadily grow towards a cap of 120~200 damage once Angelo's Wisdom surpasses 450.

  • As with other third-tier spells, Kaswoosh was modified in the 3DS port. The base range is now 112~152, and the cap is 164~224 at 520 Wisdom.

The enemies Dark minister, Statue of Angelo, and Wight king also use it. It can be cast by the Infamous Monsters Barry Wight, Harry (Recruit), Lumpy, and Priestley.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]

Kaswoosh is learned by Minstrels at level 36 and Luminaries at level 45, requiring 26 MP to cast. Rips through a group of enemies with a ferocious whirlwind, dealing 80~180 base damage. The spell will begin to reach it's cap of 155~255 once the caster's Magical Might surpasses 200.

Kaswoosh will deal 30~130 damage when cast by an enemy.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Minstrels will learn the spell upon reaching level 51, Luminaries at level 50, and Pirates at level 65. All vocations can cast it for 12 MP as of the 2.1 update. The spell's formula is (Magical Might - 79) x 0.54 + 57~87, leading to a base range of 57~87 and max range of 177~207. The calculation alters when the caster's might exceeds 300, becoming (Magical Might - 300) / 20 + 177~207 for a new cap of 211~241. The tornadoes conjured by the incantation radiate out from the caster for 15 meters in a counter-clockwise patter, striking enemies within the range multiple times.

  • In the Offline version of the game, the Hero can learn Kaswoosh at level 51 as a Minstrel and 51 as a Luminary, while Raguas learns it at level 45 and Fuura learns it at level 46. As the game has changed back to a traditional turn-based battle system, Kaswoosh deals wind damage to a group of enemies for 10 MP. The damage range is 72~245 dependent on the caster's Magical Might.

Serena will learn Kaswoosh during a story event, and can cast it for 20 MP. Kaswoosh's base range is 124~252 and the maximum range is 162~290. Because Serena never develops any Magical Might save for equipment bonuses and seeds, the growth range for the spell is 1~250 magical might.

Known as Infermost in this game, it is an upgraded form of Infermore. Infermore grows into Infermost when the monster reaches level 27 with 104 max MP and 134 INT.

Infermost now requires 242 INT to learn.

Dragon Quest Treasures[edit]

Kaswoosh generates twisters that ram into enemies repeatedly, dealing heavy Wind-element damage for 22 MP. It can be learned by Hat hamwitches, Shadow ministers, Stormy sabrecats, and Valhalla vultures at level 33, automatically upgrading from Swoosh.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Kaswoosh appears as the Hero's up special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is two large whirlwinds that sends the Hero up far into the air, with the blusters hitting opponents for up to 19% damage and launching them downward. It is the fully charged version of Woosh and costs 18 MP.

Enemy versions[edit]

Kaswoosh dealt 30~62 damage and kept the wind-speed until VIII, when it was changed to 32~76 damage. Beginning with IX the spell would strike for 30~130 damage.

Trivia[edit]

Prior to the debut of animated spells in V, Kaswoosh was depicted as being two powerful blades of wind striking enemies in a Greek cross pattern. This is still reflected in the spell's Japanese name of Bagicross. When it was decided that the spell would be animated as a twister, the idea of striking enemies with a burst of holy wind would be retained and manifest in VI as Pearly Gates (Grand Cross in Japanese).
