Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Game	Description
	Generates a vortex from your axe blade that chews into a group of enemies.

Axes of Evil costs no MP to use and deals Woosh-type damage to a single group of enemies. Like a whip attack, the damage reduces for each enemy struck, with the first target on the left taking 80% damage of a normal attack, reducing to 64% for the second, 56% for the third, 40% for the fourth, 24% for the fifth, and 16% for the sixth and all other targets. It can be learned by Yangus by investing 54 skill points into his Axes skill. The damage increases with Yangus's Tension and it can also be affected by Oomph, but the damage will only increase for the first target.

• In the Nintendo 3DS version, it now costs 2 MP to use.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

This ability is learned with 88 skill points invested into Axe skill. It costs no mp to use, loses the wind element from VIII and damages an enemy group with the same calculations as a whip strikes ( 0.8, 0.7, 0.5, etc).

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Hendrik learns axes of evil as the final skill in his axe path, using 20 points to unlock it. It takes 16 MP to use, and hits all enemies for 220% damage with no reduction per slash.

"Here goes nothing!"

Yangus uses axes of evil as his Coup de Grâce, which he can use when in a state of super high tension. When used, he spins while swinging his axes so fast, he creates a vortex that deals heavy damage to enemies in front of him.

Dragon Quest Tact

Axes of Evil can be learned by Yangus at level 52. It costs 56 MP to use and inflicts 260% potency physical damage to all enemies in a radius of 1 around him. Upgrading the ability increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.
