~~As implied by its nomenclature,~~ '''Jolly Rager''' is a skill ~~associated with~~ the ~~[[Pirate]] vocation~~. ~~Similar~~ to ~~[[Tidal Wave]] and [[Maelstrom]], it uses the [[woosh]] attribute for resistance checks when cast by players and carries ''no'' element when used by monsters~~.

'''Jolly Rager''' is a skill in the series.

==Characteristics==

This skill calls forth a powerful storm to damage a single group of enemies.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ7}}===

Jolly Rager ~~is learned upon reaching rank 3 of the Pirate vocation in both versions of ''VII'', and it~~ deals 50~70 damage to ~~an enemy~~ group ~~for~~ no MP. ~~Though superior to Tidal Wave because of its damage range and ability to be used anywhere, it~~ is ~~inferior~~ to [[~~Thin Air~~]]. ~~Similar to Maelstrom~~, ~~the~~ only ~~way to reduce the skill's damage is to wear either the~~ [[~~Bottlenose buckler]] or [[Saint's Equipment|Aeras shield~~]].

Jolly Rager deals 50~70 Woosh-type damage to a single group of enemies and costs no MP to use. It is learned by advancing to rank 3 as a [[Pirate]]. On the enemy side, it is only used by [[Rashers]] during the first battle against him.

*In the Nintendo 3DS version, it is learned now by advancing to rank 2 as a Pirate and is an advanced vocational skill that can only be used as a Pirate. Due to the removal of Tidal Wave in the 3DS version, it is used by [[Shelligator]] and the [[Water Spirit]], as well. It will inflict around 30~40 damage to the entire party, similar to Tidal Wave's damage range.

Due to the removal of Tidal Wave in the 3DS version ~~of ''VII''~~, ~~monsters that~~ used ~~that skill use Jolly Rager instead~~. ~~Their~~ damage ~~range has been reduced~~ to Tidal Wave's ~~original 30~40, effectively making it a mere cosmetic change~~.

~~It can be~~ used by ~~the enemies [[~~Rashers]], [[~~Shelligator~~]], and the [[Water Spirit]].

==={{DQ7R}}===

Jolly Rager is now an enemy-only skill is used by Rashers, [[Gracos]], and Rampaging Rashers. It is no longer used by the Water Spirit.

==~~Etymology~~==
