Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

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.
