Zombiesbane: Difference between revisions

The '''Zombiesbane''' (also known as '''Zombiebane''', '''Zombie slasher''' or '''Zombie Sword''') is a powerful sword in the [[Dragon Quest]] series. True to name, it deals 50% more damage to creatures from the [[zombie family]] in most instances.

The Zombie slasher has an attack bonus of +67. It can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]], [[Warrior]]s, [[Priest]]s, [[Merchant]]s, and [[Sage]]s.

 

Contrary to later appearances, the sword does ''not'' actually deal bonus damage to the undead; instead, the extra damage is based on the target's vulnerability to [[poof]]. When the decision to attack has been made and base damage has been calculated, the game will then check the foe's resistance to the spell and run a simulation without the player knowing. If the spell were to hit had it been cast by the player, the enemy would take 16~32 more damage.

The Zombiesbane has an attack bonus of +80 and deals 50% more damage to rotting foes. It cannot be purchased until generation 3 though, at the new [[Whealbrook]] shop for 11,500 gold. V codified the bonus effect of the weapon, becoming standard until VIII.

The Zombiesbane has an attack bonus of +54, and deals 30% more damage to corpses and the like. It can be upgraded into a [[zombie slayer]] and can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] and [[Jessica]], once her knife skill tree lets lets use swords.
