Kadonk

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Kadonk is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in the Joker sub series of the Monsters spin off games. When cast, it reduces the target's HP by a fraction of their current health. Resistance to this spell is based on accuracy, similar to Dazzle and Sap.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Kadonk makes its main series debut as an enemy-exclusive spell used by some bosses. It costs 8 MP to cast and, much like Donk, will deal 75% of a character's maximum HP as damage and has a wider area of effect.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2[edit]

Kadonk costs 32 MP to cast. It affects all enemies on screen, and damage inflicted is 1/6th of their current HP. It can be learned from:

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3[edit]

Kadonk's damage calculation is the same, but now only targets one foe. MP cost has been reduced to 8.

Dragon Quest Treasures[edit]

Kadonk can be learned by Umbras, Emerald king slimes, and Wight kings at level 18. It costs 10 MP to cast and creates a powerful gravity well centered around a single enemy, dealing moderate gravitational magic damage to any enemies caught within it.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

Kadonk can be learned by Wildcard at level 38 and costs 146 MP to use. It inflicts major typeless spell damage to all enemies in a 3x3 square in front of it with a high chance of binding them, too. Upgrading the spell increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to cast.
