Skills (Dragon Quest IX)

2013-03-22T22:54:53Z

109.242.33.185:

'''Skills''' in [[Dragon Quest IX]] are awarded using a points-based system that is tied to character level. As a character gains levels, they are awarded points that they may apply toward class-specific skills. For each character class, a total of 200 skill points can be earned by growing from level 1 to 99. These points are distributed in a [[Wikipedia:Normal distribution|normal distribution]] over the span of levels.

For full lists of each different skill type, see [[Lists of abilities in Dragon Quest IX]].

==Skill point distribution==

==Applying skill points==
For each class, only a subset of skills are increased using skill points. This means that strategy must be applied in order to maximize the capabilities of a character as they gain levels and change classes.

===Class/Skill matrix===
This table does not include skills which are available to only a single class or the Hero skills.

===Maximizing Character Skills===
There are 12 class-specific skill types and 14 multi-class skills types. Since each vocation receives a maximum 200 skill points, it is impossible to fully maximize a single character's skills without using [[Seed of skill|Seeds of skill]] or [[Revocation|revocating]]. No matter what strategy is applied in distributing skill points, a character will be 200 points short of the required amount of skill points. However, after revocating, a character can easily achieve the final 200 points needed.

Metal Slash

2013-03-22T22:35:51Z

109.242.33.185: /* Dragon Quest IX */ Expanded section

{{Spell Infobox

}}
'''Metal Slash''' is a recurring ability in the franchise. It ensures it will damage a [[metal]] opponent by dealing one extra point of damage.

==Appearances==
===[[Dragon Quest IV]]===
In the remakes, Metal Slash is one of the special abilities that [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] can learn. He learns it at level 40 (or earlier depending on wisdom score).

===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
Metal Slash is learned by [[Lizzie]] at level 20. Other characters can obtain it by mastering the [[Gladiator]] vocation.

===[[Dragon Quest VII]]===

===[[Dragon Quest VIII]]===
'''Metal Slash''' is a sword technique that both the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|the Hero]] and [[Angelo]] can learn. It requires 30 skill points by the Hero, and 22 skill points by Angelo.

===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
This ability is learned with 13 skill points invested into the [[List of sword skills in Dragon Quest IX|Sword skill]].

If the enemy being attacked is not a [[metal]] enemy, then this ability is functionally equivalent to a normal attack. Otherwise, the enemy in question takes 1 or 2 damage (provided that no critical hit is dealt and the metal enemy does not evade the attack).

If a [[Falcon blade]] or an [[Über falcon blade]] is equipped, then the ability is performed twice in succession, thus dealing at most 4 damage (assuming no critical hits).
