Donk is a spell introduced in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2. When cast, it reduces an enemy's HP by a fixed amount. Resistance to this spell is based on accuracy, rather than damage mitigation. Its successors, Kadonk and Kadonkle, have a significantly higher crushing power.
The spell first appeared in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, creating a high-pressure gravity field to attack the opponent.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest X[edit]
Donk makes its main series debut as an enemy exclusive spell. It costs 18 MP to cast, and will deal 75% of a character's maximum HP as damage.
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2[edit]
Donk costs 12 MP to cast and affects one group of enemies, dealing 25% of the target's current HP. As such, the spell will deal immense damage if a target is at full health, and inflict paltry wounds if they are already weakened. It can be learned from the following skill sets:
- Bjorn (35 points)
- Cursader (10 points)
- Diabolist (10 points)
- Muspell (16 points)
- Rigor Mortex (25 points)
- Ruin (78 points)
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3[edit]
Donk requires 2 MP to cast, but now only reduces the target's HP by 1/8th.
Dragon Quest Tact[edit]
Donk appears as Popp's Coup de Grâce. It can be learned at level 74 and costs 139 MP to use. This spell is based on its appearance in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. It has a range of three squares in front of him and inflicts major typeless spell damage to all enemies in a range of a 3x3 square with a high chance of binding them, too. Since it is a Coup de Grâce, it takes 3 turns to charge and can only be cast once per battle. Upgrading the spell increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to cast.
