Using [[Psych Up]] normally, a [[party]] member can reach 50 tension without difficulty. However, there is only a 1/3 chance to increase from 50 to 100 Tension, wasting the turn if the transition is not made. Fortunately that party member will not lose the Tension already accumulated. When a character reaches 100 Tension, their polygon model will change to reflect their anger. | Using [[Psych Up]] normally, a [[party]] member can reach 50 tension without difficulty.

In DQ8 100 tension can be reached after 50 tension has been reached about 10 times. Every character is guaranteed to reach 100 tension for the first time. Afterwards it is a 1/3 to increase from 50 to 100. Being in a state of super high tension also grants both party members and monsters a 30% damage reduction. | |||
In DQ9 100 tension grants immunity to all status effects including stun moves and the sleep resistances piercing Lullab-Eye. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*In the PS2 version of DQ8, when The Hero's Tension is maxed, his appearance changes drastically. His bandana flies off and his hair spikes up, making him resemble Super Saiyan Son Goku of Dragon Ball Z fame. This little feature was added to the Western release of the game, as a shoutout to fans of Toriyama's work. | |||
