Gigaslash is a recurring ability appearing in many games in the franchise. Despite its name suggesting a physical basis for its (very large) damage output, it in fact does magical damage. It does a lot of damage in a group of monsters.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VI

Gigaslash (DS)
MP 20
Effect Hits a single group of enemies with Light damage (as done by the Zap line of spells in other games)
Flavor text A legendary sword technique for cutting down a group of enemies.

Anyone in who is/has been a World Hero (via Rank 6 of the Hero class) can use Gigaslash. It costs 20

Dragon Quest VII

Dragon Quest VIII

The hero can learn Gigaslash as a sword technique after fully investing 100 skill points into either the "Sword" or "Courage" skills. If both skill are at maximum, he obtains Gigagash instead.

Angelo cannot learn this skill; he obtains Lightning Storm after mastering his sword skill instead.

Dragon Quest IX

Gigaslash (DS)
MP 15
Effect Hits a single group of enemies with Light damage (as done by the Zap line of spells in other games)
Flavor text A technique for cutting down a group of enemies.

In Dragon Quest IX, the Gigaslash ability is obtained by allocating 88 skill points to Sword Skill, and can only be used by a character who currently has a sword-class weapon equipped. Its damage output is considerable (numbers in excess of 200/enemy can reasonably be expected), but the MP cost makes it prohibitively expensive for most of the classes that can apply points to Sword Skill.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Dragon Quest Swords

Gigaslash is a master stroke in Dragon Quest Swords.
