'''Great Ball of Fire''' is a recurring ability in the {{DQSeries}}. It has appeared as the finishing move of Tsarevna [[Alena]] in various spinoff games. When used, Alena leaps into the air with a series of martial arts moves, then creates a fireball out of thin air with her hands, sending it down and blasting foes with it.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle (series)|Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road]]''===
Great Ball of Fire makes its debut here in the second game as Alena's special finisher when the [[Meteorite bracer]] or [[Falcon knife earrings]] cards are scanned.  When used, it can inflict more than 3,300 damage. 

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes]]'' & ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II]]''===
Carrying over from ''Monster Battle Road Victory'', Great Ball of Fire appears as Alena's [[Coup de Grâce]] in both games and can only be used when she is in High Tension mode. It inflicts a large amount of damage to any enemies in front of her.

===''[[Dragon Quest Rivals]]''===
Great Ball appears as a super rare card exclusively for [[Martial Artist]] leaders. It costs 7 mana to use and inflicts 3 damage on a single target, but any feat used on the same turn will increase its damage by 2. With proper preparation, it is possible to defeat the enemy leader in a single turn.

===''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''===
Great Ball of Fire can be learned by Alena at level 76 and costs 60 MP to use. It has a range of 2 squares away from her in any direction and inflicts 350% potency [[Frizz]]-type physical damage to a single enemy. Since it is a Coup de Grâce, it takes 3 turns to charge and can only be used once per battle. Upgrading the ability increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.
