A Coup de Grâce (必殺技, Hissatsuwaza, lit. "Deathblow") is a special battle ability in the Dragon Quest series introduced in Dragon Quest IX. 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 stating:
[party member] is primed to perform a coup de grâce!
The effects of a 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 (超必殺技一覧).

Choir of Angels | Priest | Heals 40% of allies' HP, and removes all status effects as well. |
Rough 'n' Tumble | Minstrel | Evasion and the ability to counterattack go up. |
0 Zone | Mage | Reduces MP cost to zero for a short while. |
Itemised Kill | Thief | Guaranteed item drop from the enemy it is used on. This may not always work on bosses. |
Knight Watch | Paladin | Attacks will do nothing for a few turns on the person who used it (not even Disruptive Wave can get through). All of the opponents are enraged to the person who used it. |
