Kafrizz is a spell in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.

It is the penultimate fireball spell, being superior to Frizz & Frizzle while being inferior to Kafrizzle.

Localization history

The Japanese spell Merazōma had previously been localized as Kafrizzle, as it had no higher-tier Frizz variant. However, with Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker and Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies, they added a higher-tier being メラガイアー Meragaiā. To work around this, they renamed this spell Kafrizz, and let the Kafrizzle naming for the newer one.

Kafrizz appears as the Hero's neutral special move in Smash Ultimate. It is the fully charged version of Frizz, and creates an explosive, multi-hit flame upon contact with an opponent for 36 MP. The first hit deals 19% damage, with each subsequent flare searing for 3% and totaling for 31% if all six fireballs connect with an opponent. Kafrizz has high knockback and deals excellent shield damage, but the ending lag the Hero suffers means he can be punished if he casts it at the wrong time.
