Appearances

Dragon Quest X

Making its debut from Version 5 onwards, it is unlocked after a lengthy sidequest and the player having to be at level 50. They can use Bows, Axes, melee Staves, Fisticuffs, as well as Scythes, each one with their own individual skill trees; their exclusive skill tree is called Spiritual Ability (れいかん). Only certain, special types Shields can be equipped. Their Coup de Grâce is the Death Power Boost, which instantly boosts their Death Power to its maximum amount.

Their distinctive trait is the Death Power meter, which is effectively a secondary MP pool for specific skills, and is located below their status bar. This meter rises with the deaths of enemies and allies, stacking up to four levels. They have access to a range of utility skills and can even summon several different spirits that have their strengths based on the current situation, like Skeletons, Ghosts, and Knight Aberrants.
