Kafrizz is a spell in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in the Joker sub-series of the Monsters spin offs before being added to the main titles.

It is the penultimate fireball spell, being superior to Frizz & Frizzle while being inferior to Kafrizzle.

Localization historyEdit

The Japanese spell Merazoma had previously been localized as Kafrizzle in VIII and the Zenithia trilogy for the Nintendo DS. When the spell Meragaia was introduced in IX, it was localized as Kafrizzle and Merazoma was changed to Kafrizz in titles that feature four tiers of Frizz spells. Certain exceptions do apply to this rule, such as in the case of the playable Heroes of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Dragon Quest TreasuresEdit

Kafrizz upgrades naturally from Frizzle and is learned by King she-slimes, Metal slimes, Slimes, Silhouettes, and Wight kings at level 33. It lobs a great ball of fire at one enemy for 18 MP for the first time since IX.

Super Smash Bros. UltimateEdit

Kafrizz appears as the Hero's neutral special move in Smash Ultimate. It is the fully charged version of Frizz, and creates an explosive, multi-hit flame upon contact with an opponent for 36 MP. The first hit deals 19% damage, with each subsequent flare searing for 3% and totaling for 31% if all six fireballs connect with an opponent. Kafrizz has high knockback and deals excellent shield damage, but the ending lag the Hero suffers means he can be punished if he casts it at the wrong time.

Enemy versionsEdit

When cast by a monster in IX, Kafrizz will deal 104~127 damage.
