'''Frizzle''' is a recurring offensive spell in the {{DQSeries}}.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
==={{DQ2HD}}===
The spell is learned by [[Mage|magi]] and [[sage]]s at level 17. It torches an enemy for 6 mp, and deals 60~80 damage.
Frizzle is already know by the [[Princess of Cannock]] when she permanently joins the party, and can be taught to the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] through a [[List of special scrolls in Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake|special scroll]] exchanged for [[List of mini medals in Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake|35 mini medals]]. It costs 6 MP and deals up to 72~91 Fire-element damage to one foe, and if it goes [[Haywire Spell|haywire]] it will deal triple damage.


===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Note that monsters weak to the Fire element will take more damage from Frizz spells than they will from Sizz spells, taking 150% or 200% as opposed to 125%. This is because the group-targeting flames of Sizz spells become concentrated when used against a smaller number of foes, receiving a 30% damage boost when cast on a single monster in addition to the 125% weakness modifier. Because Frizz spells can only hit one monster they do not use this concentration feature and instead deal higher damage to compensate. The only exceptions to this rule are [[skeleton]]s and [[dark skeleton]]s due to a programming oversight, taking 125% damage from both Frizz and Sizz spells.

Frizzle is a recurring offensive spell in the Dragon Quest series.

It is the intermediate-level spell between Frizz, Kafrizz, & Kafrizzle. It roasts a single enemy with a cannonball-sized flare, and is often learned by magi and mage-like characters.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake[edit]

Frizzle is already know by the Princess of Cannock when she permanently joins the party, and can be taught to the Princess of Moonbrooke through a special scroll exchanged for 35 mini medals. It costs 6 MP and deals up to 72~91 Fire-element damage to one foe, and if it goes haywire it will deal triple damage.

Note that monsters weak to the Fire element will take more damage from Frizz spells than they will from Sizz spells, taking 150% or 200% as opposed to 125%. This is because the group-targeting flames of Sizz spells become concentrated when used against a smaller number of foes, receiving a 30% damage boost when cast on a single monster in addition to the 125% weakness modifier. Because Frizz spells can only hit one monster they do not use this concentration feature and instead deal higher damage to compensate. The only exceptions to this rule are skeletons and dark skeletons due to a programming oversight, taking 125% damage from both Frizz and Sizz spells.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

The spell is learned by Mages and Sages at level 17. It torches an enemy for 6 MP, and deals 60~80 damage.

The enemies leger-de-man, mimic, darth voodoo, and minidemon can use this spell against the party.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit]

Frizzle is learned by Mages and Sages at level 17 if their Wisdom exceeds 67, which will delay the process to level 18 if it does not. The spell costs 6 MP and deals up to 72~91 damage to one foe.

  • As of the August 30th, 2025 patch the maximum damage range damage has risen to 90~111.

When cast by monsters the spell will deal 52~62 damage to a party member.

Note that monsters weak to the Fire element will take more damage from Frizz spells than they will from Sizz spells, taking 150% or 200% as opposed to 125%. This is because the group-targeting flames of Sizz spells become concentrated when used against a smaller number of foes, receiving a 30% damage boost when cast on a single monster in addition to the 125% weakness modifier. Because Frizz spells can only hit one monster they do not use this concentration feature and instead deal higher damage to compensate.

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: A Hero's Bonds[edit]

Frizzle appears as a spell for Hadlar and the Luminary Leader. It is a long-range attack that deals magical Fire damage over a small area and raises the user's Fire damage for a short time. The main way to unlock the spell is by obtaining the Celestial Sceptre through Treasure Hunts or through the shop exchange.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Frizzle appears as the Hero's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is a more powerful version of the Frizz spell that is launched after a brief charge period, and can be charged up further to turn into Kafrizz. Frizzle costs 16 MP, and sends out two intertwining fireballs that deal 9% damage each. Each volley counts as a separate projectile, meaning opponents and block one and be hit with the other under the right circumstances. This is a reference to the spell's original depiction in Dragon Quest V, VI, and the 16-bit remake of III wherein it was animated as two shots of Frizz fired at the same enemy.

Enemy versions[edit]

The enemy version of the spell dealt 52~62 damage, and remained that way until VIII, where it inflicted 42~49 damage. In IX, Frizzle deals 52~71 damage.
