Dragon Quest Heroes and Dragon Quest Heroes II[]
Searing Slash is a combo finisher used by Luceus, performing three light attacks in a row and then a heavy attack. Unlike Aurora's Blizzard Slash, it has no special effects aside from dealing heavy damage. It can be upgraded with the Searing Slash Strengthener skill, which costs 8 skill points to learn. By holding the heavy attack button during the attack, Searing Slash will deal more damage. In the sequel, it is learned by advancing to level 6 of Teresa's Sword proficiency while the Searing Slash Strengthener skill is learned by advancing to level 10 of the aforementioned Sword proficiency.
Dragon Quest: Monster Parade[]
Dragon Quest Tact[]
Used by Bad karmours during the Sizz-type Upgrade quest on Hell difficulty, it acts the same as in previous appearances and costs 38 MP to use. In addition, a scroll of this ability can be obtained from the Swap Shop for 5000 Legend League Season 5 Medals and taught to any monster, while upgrading the skill increases damage and reduces MP cost.
