Falcon Slash: Difference between revisions

In the original Super Famicom version, the damage was calculated with the user's [[Attack]] stat, rather than with their normal attack damage. It was changed in remake versions of the game to function the way it does in ''VIII'' and later, dealing two slashes at 75% total damage rather than lower the attack stat before calculations are made. Falcon Slash is already known by [[Lizzie]] and [[Terry]] when they join the party, and is learned by [[Goowain]] at level 25. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 7 of the [[Warrior]] vocation.

Falcon Slash is learned by reaching rank 6 of the [[Gladiator]] vocation in the PSX version.

*In the 3DS remake it is learned at rank 6 of the Gladiator, rank 2 of the [[Champion]], rank 8 of the [[Dingbat (Class)|Dingbat]], and rank 6 of the [[Slaughtomaton (Class)|Slaughtomaton]] vocations. It also costs 2 MP to use, and as with the remake of ''VI'' it now uses the standard damage calculation set by ''VIII''

Falcon Slash is a sword technique that both the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|the Hero]] and [[Angelo]] can learn. It requires 52 skill points by the Hero, and 40 skill points by Angelo, and damage calculation is set as two strikes at 3/4th strength for an approximate total of 150% damage for 0 MP. Equipping the [[Falcon blade]] or its upgrade will allow a character to slash four times at once.

This ability requires 2 MP to use and is learned with 58 skill points invested into [[List of sword skills in Dragon Quest IX|Sword skill]]. If a [[Falcon blade]] or an [[Über falcon blade]] is equipped, Falcon slash will deal 4 successive hits each time it is used.

The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|hero]] will learn Falcon Slash for 16 points in the ''Swordmastery'' panel of his character builder, [[Erik]] with 18 points through the ''Guile'' panel of his character builder, and [[Hendrik]] through his ''Heroism'' panel for 16 skill points. It costs 4 MP to use, and hits for full damage on each strike with a higher chance for a critical hit.
