Decelerate: Difference between revisions

'''Decelerate''' is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}} which was first introduced in {{DQM}} before later being brought over into the main series with {{Dragon Quest IX}}.

 

It decreases one enemy's {{Agility}}, contrasting the group-targeting [[Deceleratle]].

==={{DQ9}}===

Decelerate is learned by [[Armamentalist]]s at level 10. It costs 3 {{MP}} to cast and decreases one foe's agility by up to 75%. The spell will increase in accuracy once the caster's {{Magical Might}} reaches 50. When the value reaches 499, the spell becomes 100% accurate barring {{MFamilies}} resistance. The affect of the spell last for 7~10 turns.

Decelerate is learned by [[Thief|Thieves]] at level 9 and costs 2 {{MP}} to cast. Instead of decreasing the target's Agility, it increases the waiting time between actions for the target.

Decelerate is learned by {{Veronica 11}} at level 12, and by [[Sylvando]] at level 15. It now costs only 2 {{MP}} to cast and reduces one foe's agility by 40% for 4~6 turns.

Called Slow in this game, it requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 3 with 16 {{MP}} and 14 {{Intelligence}}. It grows into [[Deceleratle|SlowAll]] when the {{MFamilies}} reaches level 7 with 32 {{MP}} and 28 {{Intelligence}}. It is learned naturally by the [[Vampire cat|catfly]], [[Drohl drone|droll]], [[Mousenap|fairyrat]], [[Rampage (monster)|goategon]], [[Mental pitcher|madplant]] and [[Putrefido|putrepup]].

Slow now requires 26 {{Intelligence}} to learn and 51 {{Intelligence}} to upgrade. It is naturally learned by the [[Feralball|pillowrat]].

Decelerate can still be learned from [[Saboteur]] and [[Trickster]]. It can also be learned from [[Flute Warrior]] for 20 points or from [[Speedster]] for 17 points.
