Appearances
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation
In the original Super Famicom version, the damage was calculated with the user's Attack stat, rather than with their normal attack damage. It was changed in remake versions of the game to function the way it does in VIII and later, dealing two slashes at 75% total damage rather than lower the attack stat before calculations are made. Falcon Slash is already known by Lizzie and Terry when they join the party, and is learned by Goowain at level 25. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 7 of the Warrior vocation.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
Falcon Slash is learned by reaching rank 6 of the Gladiator vocation in the PSX version.
- In the 3DS remake it is learned at rank 6 of the Gladiator, rank 2 of the Champion, rank 8 of the Dingbat, and rank 6 of the Slaughtomaton vocations. It also costs 2 MP to use, and as with the remake of VI it now uses the standard damage calculation set by VIII
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Falcon Slash is a sword technique that both the the Hero and Angelo can learn. It requires 52 skill points by the Hero, and 40 skill points by Angelo, and damage calculation is set as two strikes at 3/4th strength for an approximate total of 150% damage for 0 MP.
