Disruptive Wave is a technique used by {{MFamilies}}s such as [[Estark]], {{Foo Yung}}, [[Psaro the Manslayer]], and [[Aamon]]. However, the {{Hero 4}} can unleash this by using the [[Zenithian sword]] as a tool in battle.

Disruptive Wave is learned by recruited {{King slime R}}s at level 18. [[Saber]] can also learn it at level 33, and [[Starkers]] learns it at Level 10. As in {{IV}}, the Zenithian sword can unleash this effect if used as a tool in battle.
 
[[King Korol]], Grandmaster [[Nimzo]] and [[Estark]] can use Disruptive Wave in their boss fights.

Disruptive Wave can be learned by any character in the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]] vocation when they reach rank 2. This is the only way to learn the ability, as the Sword of Ramias instead casts [[Oomph]] when used as an item in battle.
 
As far as bosses go, [[Dhuran]], [[Mortamor]] and [[Nokturnus]] have access to Disruptive Wave.

Learned via the Hero vocation as in {{VI}}, but also by reaching rank 6 of the [[Druid]] vocation in the {{PSX}} version and rank 3 in the {{3DS}}, or rank 7 of the [[Paladin]] vocation in the {{3DS}} version only.

It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition when used by a character or a monster. This makes debuffs viable against many bosses since they can't use the ability to clear them away. This isn't used as heavily by the story bosses (only [[King Godwyn]] and [[Corvus]] uses it). However, several of the {{Grotto}} bosses and ''all'' of the [[legacy boss]]es will use this ability.
 
==={{DQ10}}===
[[Sage]]s learn an ability similar to Disruptive Wave called [[Clear Your Mind]], by investing 100 points into their Enlightenment skill. It costs 10 {{MP}} to cast, and blasts a wave in a cone in front of them, removing positive status effects of any enemy hit. [[Demon Swordsman|Demon Swordsmen]] can learn Disruptive Wave with 70 points invested into their Wave skill. It costs 6 MP to cast, and functions similarly to Clear Your Mind. Several boss-level enemies also use this skill in battle.

Disruptive Wave is a [[Pep]] power that can be used by [[Rab]] when he is [[pep]]ped up and has mastered [[Clear Your Mind]] and the {{Hero 11}} has mastered [[Unbridled Blade]].

Disruptive Wave is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest III as a monster-exclusive attack, it nullifies all stat changes, such as those caused by buff abilities such as Kabuff and Oomph, debuffs such as Kasap and Deceleratle, and Tension.

It is typically known by major bosses and is almost always used by the final bosses, making the use of stat changing moves futile in such battles if one's luck is unrelentingly bad

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

Used by Zoma, as well as some of the superbosses such as Xenlon and Gran Dragon.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

Disruptive Wave is a technique used by monsters such as Estark, Foo Yung, Psaro the Manslayer, and Aamon. However, the Hero can unleash this by using the Zenithian sword as a tool in battle.

In the remakes, Disruptive Wave is one of the special abilities that the 9th Chosen One can learn.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]

Disruptive Wave is learned by recruited King slimes at level 18. Saber can also learn it at level 33, and Starkers learns it at Level 10. As in IV, the Zenithian sword can unleash this effect if used as a tool in battle.

King Korol, Grandmaster Nimzo and Estark can use Disruptive Wave in their boss fights.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

Disruptive Wave can be learned by any character in the Hero vocation when they reach rank 2. This is the only way to learn the ability, as the Sword of Ramias instead casts Oomph when used as an item in battle.

As far as bosses go, Dhuran, Mortamor and Nokturnus have access to Disruptive Wave.

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

Learned via the Hero vocation as in VI, but also by reaching rank 6 of the Druid vocation in the PSX version and rank 3 in the 3DS, or rank 7 of the Paladin vocation in the 3DS version only. It is superior (and cheaper) than The Great Leveller as it covers more effects.

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

Disruptive Wave is used by most of the later story bosses, starting with Dhoulmagus.

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

Disruptive Wave is learned with 42 skill points allocated into Enlightenment skill. It costs 10 MP to perform.

It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition when used by a character or a monster. This makes debuffs viable against many bosses since they can't use the ability to clear them away. This isn't used as heavily by the story bosses (only King Godwyn and Corvus uses it). However, several of the Grotto bosses and all of the legacy bosses will use this ability.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Sages learn an ability similar to Disruptive Wave called Clear Your Mind, by investing 100 points into their Enlightenment skill. It costs 10 MP to cast, and blasts a wave in a cone in front of them, removing positive status effects of any enemy hit. Demon Swordsmen can learn Disruptive Wave with 70 points invested into their Wave skill. It costs 6 MP to cast, and functions similarly to Clear Your Mind. Several boss-level enemies also use this skill in battle.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]

Disruptive Wave is a Pep power that can be used by Rab when he is pepped up and has mastered Clear Your Mind and the Hero has mastered Unbridled Blade. It is also used by various bosses, including Jasper Unbound, Mordegon, Lord of Shadows in his final form, Mordragon, Calasmos, Overweening Pride, Nelgelas, the End of Time, and the Timewyrm.

Dragon Quest Monsters[edit]

Called DeMagic in this game, it requires the monster to reach level 20 with 100 max MP and 140 Intelligence. It is naturally learned by DeathMore (Final form),Mirudraas (Transformed) and Zoma. It can also be learned by monsters with Surge and UltraDown.
