Snub

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Snub is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series. It nullifies all spells cast on one party member, with the duration of the spell being different from game to game.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

Snub is learned by the Hero at level 19. It will nullify the effects of spells cast on the affected ally for 7~10 turns, except for those used by the caster themselves (which includes Insulatle, Kaclang, Morph, and Hocus Pocus). As a drawback, this also means that healing and support spells will not affect a character under the effects of Snub. The Liquid metal shield can also cast Snub on the wielder when used as a tool in battle. On the enemy side, it can be cast by Demonspawns, King slimes, Grim keepers, and Vis magers.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Snub makes its first reappearance in the main series since the fourth game, originally being an enemy-only spell until Version 1.3 of the game. However in a change from its original appearance, Snub will only affect the caster. It can be learned by Sages at level 40 and Guardians at level 102. It costs 4 MP to cast and the effect lasts for 60 seconds.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]

Snub returns as an enemy-only spell that can be cast by King slimes and the Crystalotl. The spell can be cancelled out with skills such as Clear Your Mind.

Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit]

Snub is learnt by Astronomers at level 1. It generates a barrier that nullifies all enemy spells cast on one party member for 2 turns. It can be removed by enemies with skills like Disruptive Wave.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

Snub can be learned by Hero Solo through his Character Builder and costs 107 MP to cast. It has a range of up to two squares away from him and can also be self-cast. It fully protects the target from any and all incoming spells for 2 turns. Although it can only be cast one time per battle. Upgrading the spell reduces the amount of MP it costs to cast.
