"This ends right now!"

—Aurora unleashing Gigaslash in Dragon Quest Heroes.


Gigaslash is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series. It slices through a group of enemies with a blade made of ferocious lightning, dealing incredible damage in every appearance.

Appearances

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai

A prototype of Gigaslash appears in this series in the form of Zapple Strash, a maneuver where Dai enhances the power of his finishing move Avan Strash by first channeling the power of a Zapple spell into his sword.

A second prototype appears during Baran's battle with Dai: Baran attempts to cast a Kazap spell into his sword to perform his finishing move Gigabreak, but is so exhausted that he's forced to use the weaker Zapple spell instead, resulting in an unnamed attack functionally identical to Gigaslash. Dai himself later uses this attack instinctively in order to fend off Hadlar (where it is again identified only as an imperfect Gigabreak).

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

A variant of Gigaslash appears in the remakes of DQ V, Starker's Slash (プチスラッシュ) is learned by Starkers once he reaches level 65 and deals 150~330 Lighting damage.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation

Gigaslash is learned by reaching rank 6 of the Hero profession. It deals 350~410 Lighting damage to one group for 20 MP.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Gigaslash has the same properties as in VI and is learned by reaching rank 7 as a Hero, rank 6 as a Champion, and rank 8 as a Ersatz Estark. In the 3DS remake, Gigaslash is now a class-exclusive ability and a character can only memorize it by mastering the monster vocation.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

The hero can learn Gigaslash as a sword-only technique after fully investing 100 skill points into either the "Sword" or "Courage" skills. If both skill are at maximum, he obtains Gigagash instead. The electrified slice targets one enemy group for 20 MP, and damage is calculated as (lvl+180 +/- [20+lvl]) for a cap of 207~239.

Angelo cannot learn this skill; he obtains Lightning Storm after mastering his sword skill instead.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

In Dragon Quest IX, the Gigaslash ability is obtained by allocating 88 skill points to Sword Skill, and can only be used by a character who currently has a sword-class weapon equipped.
