Disruptive Wave (originally DeMagic) 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 buffs (Kabuff, Oomph) and debuffs (Kasap, Deceleratle).
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
Dragon Quest III
Dragon Quest IV
Disruptive Wave is a technique used by enemies such as Estark, 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 Psaro can learn.
Dragon Quest V
Disruptive Wave is learned by recruited king slimes at level 18. As in Dragon Quest IV, the Zenithian sword can unleash this effect if used as a tool in battle.
Dragon Quest VI
Disruptive Wave is learned by heroes when they are City Heroes (rank 2).
Dragon Quest VII
Dragon Quest VIII
Disruptive Wave is used by most of the later story bosses, starting with Dhoulmagus.
Dragon Quest IX
Disruptive Wave is learned with 42 skill points allocated into Enlightenment skill. It costs 10MP to cast.
It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition. 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 the legacy bosses will use this ability.
