Psyche Up is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series.
It first appeared in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, where it increases Tension by one level.
Note that this is an entirely different skill than the PsycheUp featured in Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest Monsters 2, having different effects and a different name in Japanese. It is also a seperate skill from the skill "PsycheUp" that appeared in the PlayStation Version of Dragon Quest VII, which is now known as Focus Strength in the modern English localization.
Appearances
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
All six player characters have Psyche Up as one of their basic commands. Psyche up will increase tension without fail to 50, but will then drop to only a 1⁄3rd chance to raise a character to 100 tension. For this reason, it is strongly advised to use the Timbrel of Tension in conjunction with this move during the end-game.
- Many monsters are capable of psyching themselves up in battle, as well, although most are not capable of reaching Super High Tension. Brownies, Ice queens, Sirens, Captain Crow, and some of the forms (Golden, Divine, and Ultimate) of the Lord of the Dragovians have variations where they are capable of gaining two levels of tension in a single turn. Sirens and Ice queens can also psyche themselves up to the third level of tension in one turn. Brownies and the Golden dragon are even capable of reaching a state of Super High Tension in a single turn.
Other enemies that can psych themselves up include Mischievous mole, Spiked hare, Hood, Buffalo wing, Mad mole, Soul Mole, Bomboulder, Bulldozer, Hoodlum, Jackal ripper, Golem, Ice queen, Hellhound, Red horn, Stone golem, Dark dullahan, Buffalogre, Dullahan, Statue of Yangus, Belial, Heavy hood, Hell's gatekeeper, and Soul Mole in Memoriam.
Infamous Monsters who can psych themsleves up include Brickman, Digby (Infamous Monster), Doug, Dugan, Hazel (Recruit), McHammer, Mornstar, Orrid, Pierce, and Stoneman (Recruit).
