Five Finger Flares is a recurring technique first introduced in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai as one of the signature abilities of the Blizzblaze General Flazzard. It is performed by generating a Kafrizz spell on each of the fingers of his left hand, then shooting them at an enemy and utterly incinerating them. It has gone on to appear in spinoff games in the series where Flazzard makes appearances.
Appearances
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai
Flazzard first demonstrates the technique against the heroes during the battle at Valge Island Tower, using it against the three sages of Papnica after Apollo casts Insulatle to protect against his breath attacks. The fireballs deal significant damage to the sage. Later on, Popp attempts to replicate the technique in the battle against Superior Being Zamza, but he is only able to create three Kafrizz spells on his fingers. Matoriv discourages his pupil from repeating it in the future, as it could shorten his lifespan. He explains that Flazzard had no trouble doing it because of his devil-may-care attitude and his desire to win at all costs.
