'''Branching''', also known as '''Shears''', is a skill that appears exclusively in {{DQM}} and {{DQM2}}. It deals 1.5 times more damage to monsters of the [[Nature family|Plant family]] and costs 3 {{MP}} to use. It likely influenced the creation of the [[Poplar Toppler]] skill in the main series and [[Nature Nerfer]] in the ''Monsters: Joker'' series.

==Appearances==
==={{DQM}}===
Branching requires the monster to reach Level 12 with 62 max {{HP}}, 68 {{Attack}}, and 72 {{Agility}}. It can be learned naturally by [[Bullfinch|BullBird]], [[Drohl drone|Droll]], and [[Madusa|MedusaEye]].

==={{DQM2}}===
The name of the skill was changed to '''Shears''' and it can also be learned by [[WarMantis]] in this game.
