'''Harvest Moon''' is an ability in the series.

==Characteristics==
This ability is an acrobatic martial arts technique that deals damage to all enemies, decreasing if there are multiple enemies. In later games, it only targets a single enemy and deals greater damage to [[floating enemies]]. 

==Appearances==
==={{DQIIHD}}===
Harvest Moon costs 8 MP to use and damages all enemies. The damage is calculated as ''Normal attack damage x 3 ÷ (Number of enemies + 1)'', dealing strike-type damage and decreasing with the number of enemies in battle. It is learned naturally by the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] at level 32 and by the [[Prince of Cannock]] by using the Harvest Moon Scroll, which is found in a treasure chest on 2F of the [[Tower of the Moon]].
* When the Princess of Moonbrooke's HP is below 50% or she is under the effects of [[Dodgy Dance]], the [[Souped-Up Skill]] [[Miracle Moon]] becomes available to use by holding down a button, depending on which version of the game is being played. The player must have the [[Soul Sigil]] in their possession to use it.

==={{DQ4}}===
Harvest Moon appears in remake versions of the game, dealing damage to all enemies at no MP cost. The damage is calculated as ''Normal attack damage x 3 ÷ (Number of enemies + 1)'', decreasing with the amount of enemies in the battle. It is known by the [[Psaro (Character)|ninth party member]] at level 35 when they join the party. On the enemy side, it can be used by [[Knightshade]] and [[Div]] who both only appear in the {{Fungeon 4}}.

==={{DQ6}}===
Harvest Moon is learned by advancing to rank 7 as a {{Luminary V}} vocation and set the precedent of the ''Normal attack damage x 3 ÷ (1 + number of enemies)'' calculation. In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake the calculation has been changed to deal double-damage if one enemy is present instead of 150%. On the enemy side, it can be used by [[Jackal ripper]], [[Berzorker]], [[Dhuran]], and [[Nokturnus]].

==={{DQ7}}===
{{Descriptions

On the enemy side, it can be used by [[Bronson]], [[Charmour]], [[Harmour]], [[Alarmour]], [[Jawtoise]], [[Frightbait]], [[Dread herring]], [[Knightshade]], [[Dingbat]], and [[Div]].
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, the skill is learned by Luminaries at rank 3 as well as rank 1 of the [[Druid]] vocation, now requiring 3 MP to use. Damage to one enemy has been raised to double as with the remake of ''VI''.

Harvest Moon costs 6 MP to use and damages all enemies, with the damage once again calculated as ''Normal attack damage x 3 ÷ (1 + number of enemies)''. It is a fisticuffs ability that can be learned by [[Jessica]] and [[Angelo]]. It requires 45 skill points for Jessica and 42 skill points for Angelo.
*In the Nintendo 3DS version, [[Red]] also learns Harvest Moon by investing 60 skill points into her Fisticuffs skill.

==={{DQ10}}===
Harvest Moon is learned by investing 60 skill points into the Fisticuffs skill. It costs 2 MP to use and deals 30% more damage to a single enemy, inflicting an additional 20% damage to [[floating enemies]]. The animation for performing it is similar to a somersault kick in fighting games.

==={{DQ11}}===
[[Jade]] can learn Harvest Moon for 6 skill points through the ''Fisticuffs'' panel of her Character Builder, located close to the center. It costs 3 MP to use and deals 250% damage to floating monsters, 130% damage to all other enemies.

==={{DQH2}}===
Harvest Moon is a normal attack that can be used by [[Angelo]] or by [[Lazarel]] and [[Teresa]] if they are equipped with a [[bow]]. The user quickly performs a series of acrobatic backflips that strikes enemies and sends them flying, as well as putting some distance between them. It can be performed twice in a row and can be used to fire off a flurry of arrows in a wide volley if the attack button is pressed at the end of the animation.
