Among the strongest of spells and usually reserved only for the Hero (or Hero class), Kazap is a spell that smites fiends with holy lightning.
Starting with Dragon Quest V, it targets a single group of enemies. It is related to the weaker spells Zap and Zapple, as well as the ultimate Lightning spell Kazapple.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Kazap appears as the Hero's side special move in Smash Ultimate, requiring the player to charge Zap into Zapple before being able to cast Kazap for 42 MP. It is an electrical attack that calls down a wide bolt onto the Hero's sword, who then performs a spinning slash with a wide range around his person. The spell hits up to four times if the opponent is within range, with the first hit dealing 4%, the second 6%, the third 12%, and the final 16% for a combined total of 38%. Kazap has excellent knockback, K.O.ing enemies from the center of a flat stage as low as 60%.
In addition, the spell grants the Hero invincibility frames during it's animation, and has deceptively low ending-lag once it is complete, serving as a hail mary if the player is in a bind and their shield has already been reduced.
Enemy versions
Nokturnus was the first monster to ever cast Kazap, and he brought down the full fury of the storm. Like it's predecessor, Kazap will deal full damage when cast by foes and as such utmost caution must be exercised during electric encounters--very few pieces of equipment can dampen the spell's colossal current.
