Zammeister is a recurring trait in the Monsters series that increases the power of the Zam family of spells and other darkness-themed abilities while also cutting the MP cost of said techniques considerably. The exact power increase varies between games and it should be noted that mesiter does not penetrate an enemy's elemental resistance—that is reserved for the Crafty Zammer and Ultra Crafty Zammer traits.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker[edit]

The ace of spades, black dragon, dark slime, dark slime knight, fallen priest, leopold, rhapthorne, and shadow monsters possess the meister trait. The power increase and MP discount is 10%.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2[edit]

Zammmeister has the same properties and possessors as before, as well as the dhoulmagus, riptide, skelegon, stark raven, and wrecktor monsters.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional[edit]

All meister traits have been buffed to increase damage by 25% and cut MP costs in half.
