Blessed Breath is a light-based breath attack that emits shining light to attack enemies. Previously, it lacked a proper skill name akin to Scorch, Freezing Blizzard, etc, and was referred to by its text description when used by enemies. Depending on the game, it inflicts either lightning or light-elemental damage.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
The attack was described as a blinding flash rather than flames in IX's localization, but is the same skill as in later games. Each monster that uses it has a different amount of damage they can deal:
| Monster | Damage range |
|---|---|
| Yore | 55~74 |
| Greygnarl | 55~74 |
| Godsteed | 153~186 |
| Pale whale | 153~186 |

Dragon Quest X
Blessed Breath inflicts Light-based breath damage in a fan-shaped area in front of the user, the damage being dependent on the user's level. It can be used by Hybird, Polka dot dragon, Moai minstrel, Frou-frou when it is enraged, Nemean, and Archimaera.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
Blinding flames are used by the Noble dragons, Labradrakes, and Mechan-o'-wyrms, dealing over 100 damage if unprotected. Light-based attacks share the same element as the Bang line of spells, so anything that reduces damage from those spells will dim the flames.
Dragon Quest Tact
Blessed Breath can be learned by Prism peacock at level 36 and Abracadabrador at level 20 and costs 27 MP to use. It has a range of three squares in front of the user and inflicts moderate Zap-type breath damage on all enemies in the area of effect.
