Dragon Quest Heroes II

Gigathrow can be learned by Maribel at Boomerang proficiency level 11, costing 14 MP to use. When used, Maribel winds up, then throws a large, lightning-infused boomerang in front of her that moves slowly in midair and attacks any enemies in its trajectory multiple times for around five seconds. If the skill is timed perfectly, Maribel will throw out two boomerangs in front of her that zigzag and then return to her. Although it incorporates lightning visually, it does not have the added effect of short circuiting monsters of the Machine family like other lightning abilities and spells.
