Dragon Quest X [edit | edit source]
Firebird Throw can be learned by Minstrels, Gadabouts, Rangers, Sages, and Item Masters, as well as Slime and Pocus poppet monster companions, by allocating 88 points into the Boomerang skill. It costs 6 MP to use, dealing 35% damage of a normal attack as Fire-elemental damage to random enemies within a 180° fan-shaped area of effect in front of the user. Although each hit deals a low amount of damage, the skill has a critical hit bonus of 25%. The damage can be increased further by investing up to 180 points into the Boomerang skill.
- In the Offline version, it can be learned by the Hero as a Minstrel, Ranger, and Sage through the Boomerangs panel on their Character Builder for 9 skill points. It deals Fire-elemental damage 7 times randomly to a single group of enemies, with each hit dealing 35% of a normal attack. The damage can be increased further with skill-up panels.
Dragon Quest Heroes[edit | edit source]
Firebird Throw is one of Isla's main attacks and can be learned for 3 skill points. It costs 8 MP to use and sends out a blazing phoenix that continuously deals damage to enemies in front of her for a short time. When used in conjunction with her other abilities such as Woosh, it racks up a lot of damage and hits.
| Game | Description |
 | Sends out a flaming firebird that swoops on unsuspecting enemies.[3] |
Dragon Quest Heroes II[edit | edit source]
Firebird Throw can be learned by Maribel once she has reached Boomerang Proficiency level 7, costing 12 MP. When used, Maribel sends out a fiery bird that flies into the air, damaging enemies in front of her and knocking them into the air for roughly eight seconds. She is able to have two firebirds onscreen at the same time and, like Isla, she is able to rack up lots of damage and hits if used in conjunction with her other abilities.
