| The '''Dragonsbane''' is a powerful sword in the {{DQSeries}}. 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]].
| |
| | |
| ==Characteristics==
| |
| There have been two distinctive designs for the sword throughout the series. From its debut in the second game to {{Dragon Quest VII}}, the Dragonsbane consisted of a metallic blade similar to the real-world katar, a type of punching dagger from the Indian subcontinent that is held in the wielder's knuckles. The user's wrist was protected by an intricate design shaped like a [[Green dragon]]'s head with gold edges and red jewels set like eyes and two curved horns on either side. The blade has four grooves on each side. Although the weapon has some similarities to the claws used by [[Martial Artist]]s, it was always classified as a sword.
| |
| | |
| Starting with {{Dragon Quest VIII}}, the Dragonsbane's design changed to a conventional longsword, likely due to the fact that the games were now in 3D and the animations for swords were all made uniform. The new design for the Dragonsbane is much like a scimitar, featuring a green blade with curved metal edges, a red grip on the handle, and a dragon's fang on the sword's pommel. The sword's crossguard also featured a stylized dragon's head with red jewels for eyes and two curved golden horns much like the previous design and the sword also had various gold decorations on the blade and handle.
| |
| | |
| The sword has appeared in every game in the main series since {{Dragon Quest II}} and has even showed up in multiple spinoff games, as well.
| |
| | |
| ==Appearances==
| |
| ==={{DQ2}}===
| |
| The dragonsbane can be purchased for 8,000 [[gold]] coins. It has an {{Attack}} bonus of +50 and can only be equipped by the {{Hero 2}}, though it is merely a strong weapon without any extra capabilities in its debut.

| ==={{DQ3}}===
| |
| The Dragonsbane has an {{Attack}} bonus of +79. It can only be equipped by the {{Hero 3}} and [[Warrior]]s. It can be bought for 15,000 [[gold]] coins in [[Manoza]] and sold for 11,250 gold coins.
| |
| | |
| 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.

| |
| | |
| '''NOTE''': The dragonsbane multiplies damage differently depending on which version of ''V'' is being played. In the SFC version it uses the standard '''1.5''' multiplier, '''2.0''' in the PS2 remake, and '''2.25''' in the DS remake. The likely reasons for these improvements is response to fan criticism of the [[Metal dragon]], [[Black dragon]], and [[Great dragon]] enemies' obscene strength compared to average player level when first encountered.
