Serpent's Bite is a whip ability in the Dragon Quest series. When used, the wielder transforms their whip into a great serpent that attacks an enemy group for extra damage.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
Jessica can use Serpent's Bite after allocating 100 skill points into her Whips skill. It deals 160% -> 130% -> 110% -> 80% -> 50% -> 30% damage for 8MP, and inflicts Strike/Rock element damage.
- In the international PS2 version of the game, the animation for Serpent's Bite was changed from a glowing white snake to one of a yellow and orange snake crawling through the ground, possibly due to its flashing effects. Starting with the smartphone version, the new animation would be used going forward.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
Serpent's Bite can be used by any character that has the Working with Whips (quest #74) item in their inventory. It attacks a group of enemies twice with proper Earth damage for 16MP.
Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below[edit]
Serpent's Bite appears as a combo finisher for Jessica, used when she performs three light attacks in a row, followed by a heavy attack. When used, she creates a jagged pillar of rocks from the ground that will damage any enemies near it.
Dragon Quest Heroes II[edit]
Both Lazarel and Teresa are able to use Serpent's Bite, as well, if they are equipped with a whip.
