Dragonsbane: Difference between revisions

The '''dragonsbane''' (ドラゴンキラー, ''Dragon Killer''), also known as '''Dragon Killer''' or '''dragon sword''', is a powerful sword in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. True to its name, it deals 50% more damage to creatures from the [[dragon family]] in nearly every game it appears, and this multiplier will stack with skills such as [[Dragon slash]] and [[Flame Slash]]. In later games, it can be upgraded to the [[dragon slayer]]. There have been two distinctive designs for the dragonsbane in the series: originally, it appears as a wrist-mounted blade similar to a katar, but in later entries in the series, it is a conventional sword.

 

The sword starts to deal extra damage in this installment, but instead of the familiar +50%, it instead deals 16~32 extra points of damage, calculated separately from normal damage equations. This means that the effects of [[oomph]] will not increase the range to 32~64.  

The dragonsbane has an attack bonus of +83 and a style bonus of +35. It can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]], [[Kiefer]], and [[Aishe]]. It can be bought for 20,000 gold at [[Buccanham]] and the Dwarves' Den in the present and sold for 10,000 gold. It does 1.5 times more damage to dragons. Dragonsbanes can also be won as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the Buccanham [[Casino]].

The dragonsbane has an attack bonus of +72, and deals 30% more damage to dragons. It can be upgraded into a [[dragon slayer]] in the Alchemy Pot by combining it with a [[mighty armlet]] and can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] and [[Jessica]], provided she can use swords. It can be bought for 11,000 gold in [[Orkutsk]] and [[Tryan Gully]] and sold for 6,000 gold.
