Double Up

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Double Up is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series.

It has changed significantly throughout its appearances, but it always affects the potency of the user's attack.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

Double Up strikes at 200% power, but the user suffers increased damage taken during the round. It is learned by Carver at level 14 and by Spot at level 16. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 3 of the Paladin vocation. In the Nintendo DS remake the skill has the second highest priority of any action in the game, trailing only behind Kaclang. It can also be used by the enemies Averill, Brick, and Berzorker.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

Double Up is learned by reaching rank 3 as a Paladin.

It is used by the enemies Crabble-rouser, Machismogre, and Wolfram wartoise.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]

This ability is learned with 22 skill points allocated into Guts skill. It increases Attack by two stages, while lower Defence by one stage instead of increasing all types of damage taken. The bolstered attack state lasts 6~9 turns, and the crippled Defence 7~10.
