Crackmeister

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Crackmeister is a recurring trait in the Monsters series that increases the power of the Crack family of spells and other Ice-themed abilities while also cutting the MP cost of said techniques considerably. The exact power increase varies between games and it should be noted that Crackmesiter does not penetrate an enemy's elemental resistance—that is reserved for the Crafty Cracker and Ultra Crafty Cracker traits.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker[edit]

The frostburn, gracos, and jailcat monsters possess the Crackmesiter trait. The power increase and MP discount is 10%.

  • Note that Crackmeister will not increase the power of ice breath attacks despite those skills also using the Ice-element; the trait only empowers the Crack-family of spells.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2[edit]

Crackmeister has the same properties and possessors as before, as well as the Boreal serpent, firn fiend, murdaw, Powie yowie, skelegon, and snowmangler monsters.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional[edit]

All meister traits have been buffed to increase damage by 25% and cut MP costs in half.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince[edit]

The trait has been adjusted to affect all Ice-element abilities and the meister traits have been nerfed slightly to increase damage by only 15%, but now stacks with their "Crafty" and "Ultra Crafty" counterparts and retain the 50% MP discount. The following monsters possess the Crackmeister trait regardless of their size:
