'''Zapple''' is a lightning spell introduced in {{DQ3}}. It is a mid-tier of the Lightning spell family between [[Zap]], [[Kazap]], and [[Kazapple]].


==Localization history==
==Localization history==
The Japanese spell ''Raidein'' was previously localized as ''Zap'' for the English adaptations of the series, until the localization of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, which had a third spell in the lightning class. This spell, ''Dein'', is akin to [[Sizz]] and [[Crack]] in terms of power and how early a character learns it in an adventure, bumping Raidein up to being a mid-tier spell. Because the English word Zap cannot be simplified as it's Easter-equivalent was, the localization department instead opted to have the word Zapple refer to Raidein in any game in which Dein is present.
This spell was originally named [[Zap]]. However, with the arrival of a lower-tier ''Dein'' spell, they moved the name Zap to that one, and renamed ''Raidein'' Zapple.
 
==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
Zap is learned by {{Hero 3}} at level 26. The spell will damage a single enemy with between 70~90 damage, and will cost 8 {{MP}} to cast. [[Ortega]] also uses the spell in his fight with [[King Hydra]].
 
==={{DQ3HD}}===
Zapple is learned by the {{Hero 3}} at level 24 if his or her wisdom exceeds 94 points. It costs 8 {{MP}} and deals up to 91~117 damage to one foe.
 
==={{DQ4}}===
Zap is learned by the {{Hero 4}} at level 25, though his tutor in [[Hidden Valley]] planned to teach him the spell sooner. The spell functions identically to its [[Aliahan]] counterpart, though it costs only 4 {{MP}} to cast.
 
Zap can be used by [[togre]]s for 70~90 damage.
 
==={{DQ5}}===
Zap's range improves from this installment. Specifically, the spell conjures a small lightning storm that targets all enemies instead of a single bolt. The spell costs a mere 6 {{MP}} to cast, and deals between 70 and 90 damage.

==={{DQ6}}===
Zap is learned by the {{Hero 6}} after his awakening. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 3 of the {{Hero V}} vocation. It behaves as it did in the previous game.
 
==={{DQ7}}===
Zap is learned when a character reaches rank 4 of the {{Hero V}} vocation, rank 8 of the [[Delusionist (vocation)|Delusionist]], and rank 5 of the [[Slaughtomaton (vocation)|Slaughtomaton]] {{MFamilies}} vocations. As expected, it behaves as it did two games ago.
 
It can be cast by the enemies [[nut knight]], [[ginormoose]], and [[togre]] for 70~90 damage.
 
==={{DQ8}}===
Zap is learned by investing 48 points into {{Eight}}'s Courage skill. The spell will jolt all enemies with 40~56 points of lightning damage, and will grows in power once {{Eight}}'s {{Wisdom}} surpasses 65. The spell will deal 72~88 damage (barring resistances) once the character's {{Wisdom}} reaches 150.


For older titles that were localized after the introduction of Dein, such as ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'',  Zap continues to be used for Raidein to adhere to the three-stage naming convention for spells seen in Square Enix's translation process as there is no intermediate spell to add the "-le" suffix to between Zap and Kazap.
It is also used by the enemies [[Empyrea]], [[Statue of Hero]], and [[Head of state]] for 56～72 damage.


==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
==={{DQ11}}===
The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] will learn Zapple by steeling himself with the ''Luminary'' skill tree. It costs 22 MP to cast and will deal 146~166 to a group of enemies, with the maximum damage hitting for 314~344.
The {{Hero 11}} can learn Zapple for 12 skill points by steeling himself with the {{Luminary}} panel in his character builder after it has been expanded in the second act. It is a hidden panel, requiring at least four of the surrounding skills to be learned first. It costs 22 {{MP}} to cast and will deal 146~166 damage to a group of enemies, with the maximum damage hitting for 314~344 at 244 magical might.

This article is about the spell named ライデイン (Raidein) in Japanese. For the spell that was also named Zap in later games, see Zap.

Zapple is a lightning spell introduced in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation. It is a mid-tier of the Lightning spell family between Zap, Kazap, and Kazapple.

Zap is learned by Hero at level 26. The spell will damage a single enemy with between 70~90 damage, and will cost 8 MP to cast. Ortega also uses the spell in his fight with King Hydra.

Zap can be used by togres for 70~90 damage.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit | edit source]

Zap's range improves from this installment. Specifically, the spell conjures a small lightning storm that targets all enemies instead of a single bolt. The spell costs a mere 6 MP to cast, and deals between 70 and 90 damage.

It is also used by the enemies Empyrea, Statue of Hero, and Head of state for 56～72 damage.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]

The Hero can learn Zapple for 12 skill points by steeling himself with the Luminary panel in his character builder after it has been expanded in the second act. It is a hidden panel, requiring at least four of the surrounding skills to be learned first. It costs 22 MP to cast and will deal 146~166 damage to a group of enemies, with the maximum damage hitting for 314~344 at 244 magical might.
