'''Coups de Grâce''' (French for Blow of Grace or Blow of Mercy) is a special battle ability in the [[Dragon Quest series]]. Each vocation has a different Coup de Grâce with different effects. The ability becomes available during battle randomly when certain conditions are met. When a character is able to use a Coup de Grâce, a notification is given saying:

If the battle is over before you can use the coup de grâce (the monster is defeated, fled, or all party members are defeated), or the party member primed to use the coup de grâce dies, then the coup de grâce is lost.

The effects of Coup de Grâce last for only a short period of time. They do not carry over after the battle ends, or if the character dies. If all four party members are primed for a Coup de Grâce, they can together perform a '''Co-op de Grâce'''.

Coups de Grâce (French for Blow of Grace or Blow of Mercy) is a special battle ability in the Dragon Quest series. Each vocation has a different Coup de Grâce with different effects. The ability becomes available during battle randomly when certain conditions are met. When a character is able to use a Coup de Grâce, a notification is given saying:

[party member] is primed to perform a coup de grâce!

The effects of Coup de Grâce last for only a short period of time. They do not carry over after the battle ends, or if the character dies. If all four party members are primed for a Coup de Grâce, they can together perform a Co-op de Grâce.
