Stylistically, it is similar to the full-power Hatchet Man swing, but is more controlled and does not suffer an accuracy penalty.

Appearances

Dragon Quest X

Unbridled Blade can be learned by Warriors, Gladiators, and Monster Masters by investing 140 points into the Greatswords skill. It has a charge time of 65 seconds, and costs 6 MP to use. It deals approximately 300% physical damage to a single target.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

The Luminary and Hendrik can learn the skill through their respective character building boards, and it costs 16 MP to perform. When used, the two men charge their blades with a golden glow and perform a heavy overhead slash that deals 290%~310% damage. Despite the visual effect implying otherwise, the skill does not use the light-element that the Bang spells do and uses the regular damage calculation.

Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End

Unbridled blade is found in the Nintendo Switch version of the game, as one of Ragnar McRyan's abilities.

Dragon Quest Tact

Unbridled Blade can be learned by Restless armour through Talent Blossoming and costs 42 MP to use. It inflicts 290% potency physical damage to a single enemy. Upgrading the ability increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.
