Dragon Quest TactEdit

Astrea's Abacus appears as both an abacus that can be equipped by any unit and an ability that can be learned by Torneko Taloon at level 52. The abacus is an S-rank weapon that can be acquired as part of the Japan-only limited Ultimate Dragon Quest IV event by clearing the featured stage in The Chaotic Martial Arts Tournament. It has an ATK bonus of +28, raises physical potency for Hero units by 5%, and has three slots for Alchemy Effects.

The ability costs 98 MP to use, has a range of up to three squares away from him, applies Locked-On to a single enemy for 3 turns that can't be reflected, then deals unreflectable 410% potency physical damage to them. Upgrading the skill increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.
