Double Up: Difference between revisions

'''Double Up''' is a recurring ability in the {{DQSeries}}.

 

It has changed significantly throughout its appearances, but it always affects the potency of the user's attack.

==={{DQ3HD}}===

Double Up was retroactively added to the 2024 remake, where it's learned by [[Martial Artist]]s at level 28 if their wisdom exceeds 73 points. The technique costs 9 {{MP}} and deals 200% Strike-element damage to one foe, but the practitioner will take double damage from all attacks for that turn. Double Up is not affected by [[Oomph]], [[Egg On]], [[Attack Attacker]], [[Sap]], & [[Kasap]].

Double Up strikes at 200% power, but the user suffers increased damage taken during the round. It is learned by [[Carver]] at level 14 and by [[Spot]] at level 16. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 3 of the [[Paladin]] vocation.

It can also be used by the enemies [[Averill]], [[Brick]], and [[Berzorker]].

==={{DQ7}}===

Double Up is learned by reaching rank 3 as a [[Paladin]].

*The skill has been given a priority boost in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, only activating after [[Kaclang]] and [[Lifeboat]].

It is used by the enemies [[crabble-rouser]], [[machismogre]], and [[wolfram wartoise]].

 

==={{DQ9}}===

This ability is learned with 22 skill points allocated into [[List of guts skills in Dragon Quest IX|Guts skill]].  It increases {{Attack}} by two stages, while lower {{Defence}} by one stage instead of increasing all types of damage taken. The bolstered attack state lasts 6~9 turns, and the crippled {{Defence}} 7~10.

 

[[Hendrik]] will learn Double Up through the ''Heroism'' panel in his character builder for 16 skill points. It costs 4 {{MP}} to use and operates as it did in {{IX}}.

Called Berserker in this game, it requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 14 with 98 {{HP}}, 84 {{Attack}} and 84 {{Defense}}. It is naturally learned by the [[Spiked hare|almiraj]], [[Gasbagon|gasgon]], [[Tortoceratops|spikerous]] and [[Eyevory tusk-tusk|trumpeter]].

The requirements to learn Berserker are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[Thaumatosaurus|aquadon]], [[Stalagosaur|orligon]] and [[titanis]].

Double Up can be learned from all the skills it could be previously, though [[Berserker (skill)|Berserker]] now requires 20 points, and [[Martial Artist (skill)|Martial Artist]] now requires 49 points.

Double Up appears as an effect card.

Double Up can be learned by [[Harmour]] at level 26 and costs 22 {{MP}} to use. It greatly increases the user's {{ATK}} shortly, while reducing their {{DEF}}.
