| The '''dragonsbane''' (ドラゴンキラー, ''Dragon Killer''), also known as '''Dragon Killer''' or '''dragon sword''', is a powerful sword in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. True to its name, it deals 50% more damage to creatures from the [[dragon family]] in nearly every game it appears, and this multiplier will stack with skills such as [[Dragon slash]] and [[Flame Slash]]. In later games, it can be upgraded to the [[dragon slayer]]. There have been two distinctive designs for the dragonsbane in the series: originally, it appears as a wrist-mounted blade similar to a katar, but in later entries in the series, it is a conventional sword.
| | *For the monster trait that increases damage dealt to dragons, see [[Dragonsbane (Trait)]] |

| |
| ===''[[Dragon Quest II]]''===
| |
| Dragonsbane can be bought for 8,000 gold. It has an attack bonus of +50 and can only be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Hero]], though it is merely a strong weapon without any extra capabilities in its debut.
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
| |
| The dragon killer has an attack bonus of +79. It can only be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] and [[Warrior]]s. It can be bought for 15,000 gold in [[Samanao]] and sold for 11,250 gold.
| |
| | |
| The sword starts to deal extra damage in this installment, but instead of the familiar +50%, it instead deals 16~32 extra points of damage, calculated separately from normal damage equations. This means that the effects of [[oomph]] will not increase the range to 32~64.

| ===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
| |
| The Dragonsbane has an attack bonus of +90. It can be bought for 15,000 gold in [[Rosehill]] and [[Riverton]] and sold for 11,250 gold. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]], [[Ragnar]], and [[Psaro]] can equip it.
| |
| ''IV'' codified the percentage-based effectiveness of the sword, and allowed for the bonus damage to be effected by attack augmentation.

| ===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
| |
| The dragonsbane has an attack bonus of +90. It cannot be purchased until generation 3 though, at [[Whealbrook]] and [[Precaria]], and it's not cheap either (15,000 gold).
| |
| | |
| '''NOTE''': The dragonsbane multiplies damage differently depending on which version of ''V'' is being played. In the SFC version it uses the standard '''1.5''' multiplier, '''2.0''' in the PS2 remake, and '''2.25''' in the DS remake. The likely reasons for these improvements is response to fan criticism of the [[Metal dragon]], [[Black dragon]], and [[Great dragon]] enemies obscene strength compared to average player level when first encountered.
