'''Kazapstrophe''' is a fourth tier of Lightning spells in the series, introduced in the ''Joker'' subseries of the ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|monsters series]]''. Kazapstrophe replaces [[Kazapple]] as the ultimate Lightning spell and boasts more utility, requiring a single character to use in most appearances. True to the spell's name, it rains the fury of the gods on to the caster's enemies in the form of colossal thunderbolts several meters wide.
'''Kazapstrophe''' is a Lightning-element spell that requires the cooperation of teh whole party to cast.
==Localization history==
Kazapstrophe is the current English name of the Japanese ミナデイン, which had previously been localized as [[Kazapple]] in the fourth through seventh mainline games. The Kazapple name would simultaneously be used in the ''Joker'' and ''Joker 2'' entries of the ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Quest Monsters spin-offs]]'' to refer to ジゴデイン, the highest-ranking Lightning spell in those titles, of which ミナデイン did not appear.
 
The Kazapple name would be applied once more to ミナデイン in the second ''Heroes'' game, thereafter it would be reserved for ジゴデイン to match the ka- and -le naming convention used by the other spell families. With both ミナデイン and ジゴデイン appearing in the eleventh mainline game, the localized name of Kazapstrophe was invented to separate the two spells in English.

Kazapstrophe was used by a variety of monsters and was added to [[Anlucia]]'s spell repertoire for the version 5.3 update onwards, thus making it available to players. It costs 27 MP to cast and the damage range will depend on the user, with the lowest end for monsters being 250~350 and the high end being approximately 600.
ミナデイン appears in a cutscene for the 5.5 version of the game, in which [[Anlucia]] receives the power of all living beings on the planet is gathered to obliterate the final boss, killing him in one shot.

Kazapple returns to the series after a 17 year absence, and is learned by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] as per tradition. Rather than requiring MP as before, the spell needs all four casters to be [[Pep|pepped up]], and the Hero must already know [[Kazap]]. The power is dependent on the sum of the party's [[magical might]]. The spell starts out dealing 690~750 lightning damage to all foes, and starts increasing in power once the sum of the participants magical might reaches 527, peaking at dealing 1410~1470 damage when the total magical might of the users reaches 1986.

Kazapstrophe has a base damage of 230~290 and will increase in power once a monster's wisdom surpasses 524, capping out at 422~482 damage. It costs 30 MP to cast, and features the same parameters in all three titles.
ミナデイン was added in the Professional version of the game. It drains the entire party's MP and is only marginally stronger than ジゴデイン, but the allies of the caster can act while the spell is used and thus has much greater utility than in previous games.
 
===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D]]''===
Kazapstrophe has the same MP cost and power as seen in the ''Joker'' trio.
 
==={{DQH2}}===
[[Loss leader]]s are able to cast the spell, and if it is reflected back at them it will deal approximately 1,200 damage.
