* In ''Manga/FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd'', Fern has a particularly high casting speed which lets her rapidly fire off multiple blasts of basic offensive magic at her opponents. While each individual spell is easily blocked, the sheer quantity of attacks she puts out can prevent her opponent from retaliating because they need to focus on defense. The fact that offensive magic is significantly more mana efficient than defensive magic gives Fern an extra advantage as she can wear down her opponent faster than her casting will exhaust her.

And since each kind of attack (Phaser, disruptor, plasma, tetryon, etc) all come in different colors, it can resemble a Care Bear Stare as well....

* In ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'', Maria (the game's only gunslinger) has an ability that's basically MoreDakka with lasers. Souping up this ability is a common tactic with [[BonusBoss Freya]]. You can see it in action in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3x9m2Idqqo this video]], where it probably hits 20 times for 20,000HP each.
