For the skill of the name "PsycheUp" that appears in the old localization of Dragon Quest VII, see Focus Strength.


Psyche Up is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series. It first appeared in Dragon Quest VIII, where it increases tension by one level.

Note that this is an entirely different skill than the PsycheUp featured in Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest Monsters 2, having different effects and a different name in Japanese. It is also a seperate skill from the skill "PsycheUp" that appeared in the Playstation version of Dragon Quest VII, which is now known as Focus Strength in the modern English localization.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

All four player characters have Psyche Up as one of their basic commands. Psyche up will increase tension without fail to 50, but will then drop to only a 1/3rd chance to raise a character to 100 tension. For this reason, it is strongly advised to use the Timbrel of Tension in conjunction with this move during the end-game.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

This ability is learned with 16 skill points invested into their Focus skill.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Psyche Up appears as one of the Hero's down special moves in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, selectable from the Command Selection. When activated, it increases the Hero's knockback for his next attack and raises damage by 20%. Like in the main games, this bonus will only apply to a single move per use.
