Sizzle: Difference between revisions

'''Sizzle''' is a spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. The spell will bake a group of enemies in a wave of hellfire, most commonly dealing 30~42 damage for 6 MP.

[[Hero (Dragon Quest)|The Hero]] learns the spell at level 19, and may cast it for 5 MP. It deals 58~65 damage in the original version, and 50~65 damage in all subsequent versions. As combat was limited to one enemy per battle, it was a single-target spell.

The enemies [[Vis mager]], [[Knight abhorrent]], and the first form of the [[Dragonlord]] can use this spell against the player.

The [[Prince of Cannock]] learns Sizzle at level 18, and he can cast it for just 4 MP. The spell deals 17~33 damage in the original version, and 50~65 in the Super Famicom and GBC versions.

In the smartphone and [[Nintendo Switch]] versions, the spell has been redacted to affect only one group of enemies, as in later games, and its cost has risen to '''5''' MP.

The enemies [[Batmandrill]], [[Silvapithecus]], [[Grimlin]], [[Liquid metal slime]], [[Sorcerer]], [[Whackolyte]] and [[Pazuzu]] can use this spell against the party.  

==={{DQ3}}===

Sizzle is learned by [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|the Hero]] at Level 23, and both [[Mage]]s & [[Sage]]s at Level 14. The spell's cost and damage parameters become established in this entry of the series, 30~42 for 6 MP, remaining consistent ever since.

The enemies [[Crone ranger]], [[Crone]], [[Garuda]], and [[Infanticore]] can use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ4}}===

Sizzle is learned by [[Maya]] at Level 14.  The {{Hero 4}}'s tutor planned to teach him the spell during the {{DQ4 Prologue}}, but never got around to it.

The enemies [[Beleth]], [[Metal king slime]], [[Voodoo gooroo]], and [[Psaro the Manslayer]] can use this spell against the party.

[[Wisp-o'-smoke]], [[Wizened wizard]], [[Chimaera Pawn]], and [[Silvapithecus]] use it as enemies.

Sizzle is learned by [[Ashlynn]] at level 16, and is already known by [[Goober]] upon joining. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 3 of the [[Mage]] vocation.

The enemies [[Stinkerbell]], [[Arrghgoyle]], [[Hocus dreamaera]], and [[Helldorado]] use this spell.

Sizzle is learned by [[Mage]]s at rank 7.

Sizzle is learned by both the {{Hero 8}} and [[Jessica]] at level 20. It deals 20~34 base damage before their [[Wisdom]] reaches 100, and caps at 53~62 once the stat hits 150.

Sizzle is learned by [[Dancer]]s at level 27 and [[Death Master]]s at level 60. Its damage is calculated as ''Magical Might x 0.3 + 20'' with an upper range of 162~170 once the caster's Magical Might reaches 487. Distance covered is eight meters and it costs 8 MP.

* During the game's "Decisive Battle at the [[Dragonlord's Castle]]" limited ''Dragon Quest I'' event, the player is able to cast Sizzle as the Hero, as well. It deals 58~65 damage much like in the original game.

[[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] and the {{Hero 11}} will learn Sizzle at levels 21 and 23 respectively. The spell costs 7 MP to cast and hits a base range of 36~44, with a cap of 82~90 once the caster's magical might reaches 227.

Called Firebane in this game, it is an upgraded form of [[Firebal]]. Firebal grows into Firebane when the monster reaches level 10 with 34 MP, and 52 intelligence. Firebane grows into [[Firebolt]] when the monster reaches level 26 with 96 MP and 122 intelligence.

Firebane now requires 94 intelligence to learn and 220 intelligence to upgrade.

 

Sizzle has the same MP cost and damage range as in Joker 3.

{{Stub}}

Sizzle can be learned by [[Lemon slime]] and [[Popp]] at level 22, [[Batmandrill]] at level 24, [[Knight Abhorrent]], [[Tortured soul]], and [[Whackolyte]] at level 26, [[Beleth]] and [[Spitegeist]] at level 32, and [[Hybird]] and [[King she-slime]] at level 34. It can be cast for 24 MP, has a range of three squares in front of the caster, and inflicts moderate Sizz-type spell damage to all enemies in a range of three squares horizontally. It can also be taught to any unit by using an ability scroll.

===''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]''===

Many characters in the series are capable of casting Sizzle, including [[Dai]] himself, [[Popp]], and the Demon Lord [[Hadlar]]. However, unlike in the games, Sizzle is depicted as a beam of light and heat fired from the caster's palm after gathering energy. Dai first casts the spell against a [[Killing machine]] being controlled by the villainous sage Baron.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===

Sizzle is randomly available through the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero's]] Command Selection ability. Similar to Sizz, Sizzle launches a smoldering projectile that ignites the opponent and ground upon contact with an enemy. It costs 20 MP to cast, but will inflict 25% with a high knockback that reliably kills at 100% near a stage's edge.

 

In ''III'', malefic magicians will fry the party for 22~34 damage in each subsequent game until ''VIII'', where the enemy version deals 18~27 damage.
