Victimiser: Difference between revisions

'''Victimiser''' is a recurring [[Knife Weapon Family|knife]] skill in the {{DQSeries}}. It deals extra damage to enemies afflicted with [[poison]] or [[paralysis]].

This ability is learned with 35 skill points allocated into [[List of knife skills in Dragon Quest IX|Knife skill]], and will inflict 50% more damage to the ailing target. Defeating 10 envenomated [[Bad karmour]]s with Victimiser is required to complete [[Template:DQIXQuest/68|Quest #68]]: Spice Up Your Knife.

Victimiser can be learned by [[Thief|Thieves]], [[Minstrel]]s, [[Dancer]]s, [[Gadabout]]s, [[Demon Swordsman|Demon Swordsmen]], and [[Pirate]]s by allocating 100 skill points into the Knives skill. It costs 3 MP to use and deals 400% damage against poisoned or paralyzed monsters. All other targets will take 150% damage instead. When used, the skill creates three glowing purple tendrils that form around the knife that strike the enemy.

[[Erik]] and [[Sylvando]] can learn Victimiser through the ''Knives'' panel on their character builders for 13 and 16 skill points respectively. It costs 5 MP to perform and will deal 620% damage to monsters that are poisoned or paralyzed, all other enemies taking 110% damage. Erik has the potential to deal massive amounts of damage if Victimiser is used in combination with [[Divide]]. Victimiser uses the same animation from ''X''.

Victimiser costs 4 {{MP}} and deals 150% damage to the afflicted target: monsters that are neither ill nor numb take only 80% damage. Victimiser is learned through the [[Cutpurse]], [[Enigma]], and [[Zam Afficionado]] talents.
