The '''Blade of Ultimate Power''' is recurring sword skill in the [[Dragon Quest ( | The '''Blade of Ultimate Power''' is recurring sword skill in the [[Dragon Quest (Series)|series]]. It is a single target slash charged with non-elemental energy that deals incredible damage for a high {{MP}} cost. | ||
The skill was exclusive to {{VII}} until reappearing in 2016 for the second entry in the ''Heroes'' spin off series, and has since been integrated into several titles. | |||

It will deal 600~700 damage, minus the foe's {{Defence}} value, for 20 {{MP}}. | ||
In the {{3DS}} and subsequent [[Cell phone|mobile device]] ports, B.U.P. takes on different properties; it now deals 500~600 damage that ignores {{Defence}} and any other damage reduction factors such as [[Defending Champion]]. '''This means the skill works on members of the metal slime family'''. | |||
Furthermore, the damage will increase by 50% if the practitioner is equipped with a weapon that's more effective against the target's monster family. For example, if [[Aishe]] is equipped with a [[Dragonsbane]] while using the skill on a [[drakulard]], she can deal up to '''900''' damage. | |||
[[The Mighty Pip]], [[nun knight]]s, and [[kernel colonel]]s also try using it in battle, but only the latter ever succeeds. | |||
