'''Backdraft''' deflects one incoming breath attack.
 
Backdraft is a recurring support skill. After being used, it will reflect a single [[breath attack]] back to the caster.


==Appearances==
==Appearances==
===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
==={{DQ3HD}}===
Backdraft is learned by mastering the [[Ranger]] vocation. It sets up a vortex that deflects incoming breath skills, and activates before any other skill in the game--even [[Double Up]].
Backdraft was retroactively added to the 2024 remake and is learned at level 33 by {{Thieves}} if their wisdom exceeds 85 points. It costs 8 {{MP}} and reflects fire & ice breath attacks, but none of the status ailment-inducing breath skills. The effect lasts for 3~5 turns until an attack is reflected, and has a higher priority than normal abilities; specifically Backdraft triggers before all abilities save [[Kaclang]], [[Defending Champion]], [[Cop Out]], [[Whipping Boy]], [[Forbearance]], and [[Mercurial Thrust]] in that order.
==={{DQ6}}===
The skill is learned by reaching rank 8 of the [[Ranger]] vocation. The skill works only once per use, fades after the hit, and covers only the user. In addition to all fire and ice breath attacks, [[Burning Breath]], [[Poison Breath]], [[Sweet Breath]] will be reflected as well. [[Venom Mist]] will not be blown back though, oddly.
 
In the {{SFC}} version none of the status ailment breath skills will be repelled, but [[Pyre o' Fire]], [[Tidal Wave]], [[Magma Blast]], and [[Big Banga]] will be sent back to their source.
 
It is used by the enemies [[deadly dodo]], [[low djinks]], [[mechalomaniac]], and [[Mortamor]]'s left hand.
 
==={{DQ7}}===
Backdraft is learned by reaching rank 2 of the [[Pirate]], and 4 of the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]], rank 7 of the [[Djinn genie (vocation)|Vigilantern]], and rank 3 of the [[Prism peacock (vocation)|Prism Peacock]] vocations.
 
It functions identically to the version seen in the {{DS}} remake of {{VI}}.
 
The passive vocation trait of the Prism Peacock activates Backdraft at the start of each turn, with the chance reaching it's cap of 12.5% ({{fraction|1|8}}) at rank 8.
 
It can be used by the enemies [[high djinks]], [[djinn genie]], and the [[Wind Spirit]].
 
==={{DQ10}}===
Backdraft appears as an ability exclusive to [[Monster recruitment|animal allies]]. It covers all allies for 60 seconds, dissipates after the first hit, and is learned by the [[chimaera]], [[mecha-mynah]], and [[small fry]].
 
==={{DQM}}===
The skill reflects all fire and ice breath skills, status ailment breath skills, and [[Venom Mist]] for 6 {{MP}}. It requires the {{MFamilies}} to be at least level 11, with 75 {{HP}}, 84 {{Resilience}}, and 70 {{Agility}} to learn.
[[Jamirus]], [[Hell hornet|madhornet]], [[Raven lunatic|madraven]], [[firebird]], [[Pteranodon|pteranod]], and [[Wing slime|wingslime]] all naturally learn the skill.
*If a {{MFamilies}}'s level reaches 19 and it has at least 140 {{HP}}, 126 {{Resilience}}, and 140 {{Agility}}, then Backdraft will upgrade into [[Blowback|SuckAll]]. This improved skill covers the entire party and reflects a single enemy's breath attack to all enemies.
 
==={{DQM2}}===
Backdraft has the same aspects and learning requirements as before, and in addition to the previous {{MFamilies}}s it is also learned by the [[KiteHawk|kitehawk]] and [[High djinks|lampgenie]].
