Scorching Flame

Scorching Flame is a recurring breath attack in the Dragon Quest series.

Localization historyEdit

しゃくねつのほのお had previously been translated as the Scorch in Plus-Alpha's work on the series, which was likely selected due to keeping character-count display limitations in mind for the first projects the group was hired for. These were Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King for the PlayStation 2 and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker for the Nintendo DS.

The Japanese name was given a more elaborate English translation for Dragon Quest Tact, owing to the localization work being performed by a different group and mobile phones not suffering the same display constrictions as the aforementioned hardware.

AppearancesEdit

Dragon Quest TactEdit

Scorching Flame is known naturally by Maya whenever she's under the Puff! state and costs no MP to use. It inflicts huge Frizz-type breath damage to all enemies in a large fan-shaped in front of her. Upgrading the skill increases its damage.
