Crackmeister is a recurring trait in the Monsters series that increases the power of the Crack family of spells and other Ice-themed abilities while also cutting the MP cost of said techniques considerably. The exact power increase varies between games and it should be noted that Crackmesiter does not penetrate an enemy's elemental resistance—that is reserved for the Crafty Cracker and Ultra Crafty Cracker traits.

Appearances edit

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker edit

The frostburn, gracos, and jailcat monsters possess the Crackmesiter trait. The power increase and MP discount is 10%.

  • Note that Crackmeister will not increase the power of ice breath attacks despite those skills also using the Ice-element; the trait only empowers the Crack-family of spells.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 edit

Crackmeister has the same properties and possessors as before, as well as the Boreal serpent, firn fiend, murdaw, Powie yowie, skelegon, and snowmangler monsters.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional edit

All meister traits have been buffed to increase damage by 25% and cut MP costs in half.
