Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below[edit | edit source]
Timbrels of tension appear as one-time use items in this game, rather than having unlimited uses. When picked up by the character being controlled by the player, it will fill the character's tension bar completely, making it useful when it comes to boss fights. Timbrels of tension can sometimes be found by smashing pots or barrels and since they do not carry over between stages, they should be used as needed.
Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End[edit | edit source]
The Timbrel of Tension returns in the sequel as a skill that can be used by Angelo. It can be learned for 8 skill points and costs 8 MP to use. Rather than increasing the party's tension, it increases the rate at which they will gain tension.
Dragon Quest Tact[edit | edit source]
