'''Psyche Up''' is a recurring skill in the {{DQSeries}}.

It first appeared in {{DQ8}}, where it increases [[Tension]] by one level.

Note that this is an entirely different skill than the [[PsycheUp]] featured in {{DQM}} and {{DQM2}}, having different effects and a different name in Japanese. It is also a seperate skill from the skill "PsycheUp" that appeared in the {{PlayStation}} Version of {{Dragon Quest VII}}, which is now known as [[Focus Strength]] in the modern English localization.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
All six player characters have '''Psyche Up''' as one of their basic commands. Psyche up will increase tension without fail to 50, but will then drop to only a {{fraction|1|3}}rd chance to raise a character to 100 tension. For this reason, it is strongly advised to use the [[Timbrel of Tension]] in conjunction with this move during the end-game.
*Many {{MFamilies}}s are capable of psyching themselves up in battle, as well, although most are not capable of reaching Super High [[Tension]]. [[Brownie]]s, [[Ice queen]]s, [[Siren]]s, [[Captain Crow]], and some of the forms (Golden, Divine, and Ultimate) of the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] have variations where they are capable of gaining two levels of [[tension]] in a single turn. Sirens and [[Ice queen]]s can also psyche themselves up to the third level of tension in one turn. [[Brownie]]s and the Golden dragon are even capable of reaching a state of Super High [[Tension]] in a single turn.

Other enemies that can psych themselves up include [[Mischievous mole]], [[Spiked hare]], [[Hood]], [[Buffalo wing]], [[Mad mole]], [[Soul Mole]], [[Bomboulder]], [[Bulldozer]], [[Hoodlum]], [[Jackal ripper]], [[Golem]], [[Ice queen]], [[Hellhound]], [[Red horn]], [[Stone golem]], [[Dark dullahan]], [[Buffalogre]], [[Dullahan]], [[Statue of Yangus]], [[Belial]], [[Heavy hood]], [[Hell's gatekeeper]], and [[Soul Mole in Memoriam]].

Infamous Monsters who can psych themsleves up include [[Brickman]], [[Digby (Infamous Monster)]], [[Doug]], [[Dugan]], [[Hazel (Recruit)]], [[McHammer]], [[Mornstar]], [[Orrid]], [[Pierce]], and [[Stoneman (Recruit)]].

==={{DQ9}}===
This ability is learned with 16 skill points invested into their [[List of focus skills in Dragon Quest IX|Focus skill]].

==={{DQTact}}===
Psyche Up is already known by [[Yangus]], [[Jessica Albert]], and [[Angelo]] at level 1 and costs 10 {{MP}} to use. It raises the user's Tension for 1 turn. Upgrading the skill reduces the amount of {{MP}} it costs to use, costing 0 {{MP}} at max rank.

Psyche Up appears as one of the {{Hero Smash}}'s down special moves in {{SSB5}}, selectable from the Command Selection. When activated, it increases the {{Hero Smash}}'s knockback for his next {{Attack}} and raises damage by 20%. Like in the main games, this bonus will only apply to a single move per use.
