'''Gigagash''' is a recurring, group-targeting sword skill in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

The technique first appeared in the manga ''[[Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken]]'' as an attack used by the dragon knight [[Baran]], and was later included in the main series starting with ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''.

==Characteristics==
Gigagash is the superior version of the [[Gigaslash]] skill, and requires a large skill point investment before it can be used. The user channels their power through both arms instead of just their dominant hand. Furthermore, the power radiating from the ethereal blades shines more brilliantly than before.

Like its predecessor the skill is typically associated with the Lightning element, but this does vary occasionally between titles.
==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]] can learn Gigagash as a sword technique after fully investing 100 skill points into both the "Sword" and "Courage" skills, replacing [[Gigaslash]]. Despite the requirements, the skill can be used with any weapon equipped, and even bare-handed. Damage is calculated as ''level+222~282'', capping at level 47 for a maximum range of 271~331.

An enemy version of the skill can be used by [[Estark]] in the 3DS version of the game, it does 1000~1200 damage to a single character, effectively killing them.

==={{DQ9}}===
To use Gigagash, a character must both equip a sword ''and'' be carrying [[Swordcraft in Summary]]: the book awarded by the level 40 Sword Skill quest. Its damage is Light-element with a base of 185~335 and a maximum range of 445~595 and costs 30 MP to use. Damage improves as the sum of the user's magical might and strength increase.

===''[[Dragon Quest X]]''===
Gigagash can be learned by [[Warrior]]s, [[Armamentalist]]s, and [[Gladiator]]s by investing 140 points into the One-handed Sword skill. It costs 12 MP to use and has a charge time of 60 seconds. It deals around 500 Light-attribute damage to any surrounding enemies.

==={{DQ11}}===
The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] will learn the skill for 36 points through his ''Swordmastery'' skill tree. It costs a massive 32 MP to use, but deals up to 390~430 Lightning damage to '''all''' enemies.

==={{DQMJ}}===
Gigagash costs 55 MP to use and deals up to 259~298 Lightning damage at level 99, being dependent solely on the user's level for damage calculation. It can be learned from:

* [[Cluboon (skill) | Cluboon III]] (75 points)
* [[Dragovian Lord (skill) | Dragovian Lord]] (100 points)
* [[Über Knight]] (100 points)

==={{DQMJ2}}===
Gigagash has the same cost and damage range as in the previous game, and can be learned from all the skills it could be previously, as well as from [[Battle Road Master]] for 84 points. The only difference is that it now uses the explosion element associated with the [[Bang]] spells.

===''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]''===
Gigagash, retaining its Japanese name of "Gigabreak" in most localisations, is one of Baran's strongest techniques. After using his Dragon Knight abilities to imbue his blade with the powers of both a [[Kazap]] (JP: ''Gigadein'') spell and his own Draconic Aura, he performs a two-handed downward slash with all of his strength. This technique can only be performed with a sword crafted from legendary materials such as [[orichalcum]], as its sheer power will cause lesser weapons to disintegrate. Both Baran and Dai have also performed a weaker version of this technique using a [[Zapple]] spell instead.

After Dai gains the ability to cast [[Kazap]], he combines Gigabreak with his own sword technique [[Avan Strash]], creating the [[Giga Strash]] (which served as the model for [[Gigaslash]] in later games).
