Each vocation has a different Coup de Grâce with different effects. The ability becomes available during battle randomly when certain conditions are met.  When a character is able to use a Coup de Grâce, a notification is given saying:
Each vocation has a different Coup de Grâce with different effects that can be used at will once the character enters the activation state. The ability becomes available for characters that are at least level 10 and can be triggered under a variety of conditions; the higher that character's level then the longer the player will have the option to activate a Coup de Grâce.  When a character is able to use a Coup de Grâce, a notification is given saying:


''[Party member] is primed to perform a coup de grâce!''
''[Party member] is primed to perform a coup de grâce!''


The effects of Coup de Grâce last for only a short period of time.  They do not carry over after the battle ends, or if the character dies.  If all four party members are primed for a Coup de Grâce, they can together perform a '''Co-op de Grâce'''.
The effects of Coup de Grâce do not cost any MP but will only last for only a short period of time.  They do not carry over after the battle ends, or if the character dies.  If all four party members are primed for a Coup de Grâce, they can together perform a '''Co-op de Grâce'''.

=== {{DQSG}} ===
Each [[List of weapons in Dragon Quest Smash/Grow|weapon]] in {{DQSG}} has a Coup de Grâce that can be unleashed when the Coup de Grâce meter is full enough. There are 12 points in total - some weapons only require the meter to be filled up to 5 points to be able to unleash the Coup de Grâce, whilst others require 6 points. The meter is filled whenever an enemy takes damage, whether from blessings or normal attacks, or by consuming a [[pep pop]]. The meter is depleted after using a Coup de Grâce, by the amount of points it says that it needs. The meter can also be depleted through enemy interference, like when [[Treeface|Treefaces]] perform a [[Weird Dance]], draining the meter rather quickly.

Coup de Grâce (必殺技, Hissatsu waza?, lit. Surefire-killing/ultimate technique), called Deathmoves in Dragon Quest VIII, are special battle abilities in the series.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit | edit source]

Deathmoves can be performed by two or three monsters when certain special teams are formed. They have various effects, ranging from group attacks, to party buffs, and even combining together to form an even more powerful monster. Since monster teams cannot be controlled by the player, it is random if a monster team will perform their deathmove. One drawback is that when a deathmove is performed, that monster will only act once even if they are capable of performing two actions.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]

Each vocation has a different Coup de Grâce with different effects that can be used at will once the character enters the activation state. The ability becomes available for characters that are at least level 10 and can be triggered under a variety of conditions; the higher that character's level then the longer the player will have the option to activate a Coup de Grâce. When a character is able to use a Coup de Grâce, a notification is given saying:

[Party member] is primed to perform a coup de grâce!

The effects of Coup de Grâce do not cost any MP but will only last for only a short period of time. They do not carry over after the battle ends, or if the character dies. If all four party members are primed for a Coup de Grâce, they can together perform a Co-op de Grâce.

Priming persistence[edit | edit source]

Level range Turn amount
10~24 6
25~49 7
50~74 8
75~99 9

Triggers[edit | edit source]

The frequency of a Coup de Grâce occurring per turn is amplified by the following conditions:

Condition Boost
Critical fan equipped +6%
Overcritical fan equipped +7%
Hypercritical fan equipped +8%
Dire critical fan equipped +10%
Combat action medal +3%
Martial artist, Ranger, or Luminary +3%
1 other party member primed +0.8%
2 other party members primed +10%
3 other party members primed +36%
10% damage taken +0.75%
20% damage taken +1.5%
30% damage taken +3%
40% damage taken +6%
50% damage taken +12%
60% damage taken +24%
70% damage taken +48%
80% damage taken +95%

List of Coup de Grâce by vocation[edit | edit source]

Vocation Name Effects
Warrior Critical Claim This coup de grâce unleashes an attack that always inflicts a Critical Hit.
Martial Artist Roaring Tirade Similar to War Cry, except it cannot be resisted. Further, it also increases tension by one level.
Priest Choir of Angels Restores 30%~40% of Max HP to allies and cures status effects at once
Minstrel Rough 'n Tumble Evasion increases to 50% and the ability to counterattack goes to 25%.
Mage 0 Zone Reduces MP cost to zero for a short while.
Thief Itemised Kill Guaranteed item drop from the enemy it is used on.
Paladin Knight Watch Attacks will do nothing for a few turns on the person who used it (not even Disruptive Wave can get through). All of the opponents are enraged to the person who used it.
Ranger Brownie Boost Boosts the user's attack, defense, and Breath resistance by 25%.
Gladiator Tension Boost Boosts tension up to 50 or 100 (maximum).
Armamentalist Voice Of Experience Increases the amount of EXP you get from the battle if you win by a variable amount (1.1~2.0 multiplier)
Sage Spelly Breath Recovers 20%~50% of Max MP to the caster.
Luminary Disco Tech Causes all enemies to boogie and raises tension by one level. This is functionally identical to Roaring Tirade.

Co-op de Grâces[edit | edit source]

If all four party members are primed for a Coup de Grâce, then upon using them they will perform a Co-op de Grâce, selected from a menu. The available choices for Co-op de Grace are based on the party's current vocations. For example, if the party is made up of only warriors and rangers, only the Quadraslash option is available.

Vocations Name Effects
Warrior
Ranger 		Quadraslash All four party members attack at once. Damage is sum of allies attack minus enemy defence.
Martial Artist
Gladiator 		Omnipotense Increases all party members' tension by 3 levels.
Priest
Paladin 		Soul Asylum Renders the entire party invincible for a few turns (similar to Knight's Watch).
Mage
Sage 		Cast Away Reduces the party's MP cost to zero for a few turns.
Armamentalist
Thief 		Haulellujah Chance to earn extra exp., gold, and items. Exp and gold multiplier is 1.5~3.0
Minstrel
Luminary 		Electro Light Turns all enemies into metal slimes.

Dragon Quest X [edit | edit source]

This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it. What to do: Add effects on the table

Much like in Dragon Quest IX, each vocation can use a Coup de Grâce. Originally, each vocation had access to one. With the 6.3 update, a second Coup de Grâce was added to each one of them. Some of the second Coup de Grâce are with a Charge Time.

They are charged at relatively random timings of the battle, said timing can be accelerated with buffs from various pieces of equipment. After being charged, the player can use one of their Coup de Grâce by selecting the command from the menu, and after some time it'll wear out.

Additionally, the master vocations have a Pep Power instead, but it largely functions the same.

Dragon Quest Smash/Grow[edit | edit source]

Each weapon in Dragon Quest Smash/Grow has a Coup de Grâce that can be unleashed when the Coup de Grâce meter is full enough. There are 12 points in total - some weapons only require the meter to be filled up to 5 points to be able to unleash the Coup de Grâce, whilst others require 6 points. The meter is filled whenever an enemy takes damage, whether from blessings or normal attacks, or by consuming a pep pop. The meter is depleted after using a Coup de Grâce, by the amount of points it says that it needs. The meter can also be depleted through enemy interference, like when Treefaces perform a Weird Dance, draining the meter rather quickly.
