Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below edit

GameDescription
 
A striking flash of lightning that zaps any enemy nearby.

Zapple is the second tier spell of both Luceus and Aurora and can be learned by investing 10 skill points. By charging up their Zap spell for a short time, they can cast Zapple for 14 MP, which summons lightning bolts to strike down enemies in front of them. As the two level up more, they will be able to upgrade the spell and learn Kazap. Also, like all lightning spells and techniques, Zapple can short circuit monsters from the machine family.

Dragon Quest Treasures edit

Zapple sends out a bolt of lightning that can damage a single enemy multiple times if positioned correctly, and costs 11 MP to cast. It is learned by fiery draglings, jade slimes, red giants, she-slimes, and Elys.

Dragon Quest Tact edit

Zapple can be learned naturally by ewwnicorn at level 22, silvapithecus at level 24, raving lunatick at level 36, and Lime slime at level 42. It costs 16 MP to use, has a range of three squares away from the user, and deals moderate Zap-type spell damage to one enemy. It can also be taught to any unit by using an ability scroll.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate edit

Zapple appears as the Hero's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in which it costs 18 MP to cast and hits twice: the first for 6% and the second for 14%. It is a quick electrical attack with good range and a disjointed hitbox, meaning it cannot be reflected or absorbed. Holding the special button down will turn Zap into Zapple, and holding the special button down for longer will turn this move into Kazap.
