Hero (vocation)

This page details the Hero vocation; for the protagonists of each game, see Hero

Hero and Heroine from SFC remake of Dragon Quest III

The Hero (勇者, Yuusha) is a character class in the Dragon Quest series.

Characteristics

The Hero is the most powerful profession, bar none. A savior in times of strife, the Hero is able to turn the tide of battle and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat through their legendary durability and awe-inspiring skills. The Hero has near exclusive access to the incredibly powerful lightning abilities that scant few monsters can resist, though these spells and skills are offset by hefty MP costs. In III and the 3DS remake of VII the Hero will also be able to cast Omniheal, effectively giving the entire party a second wind and preventing a disastrous wipeout. Kaclang is also associated with the vocation, rendering the party immune to all forms of damage for a handful of turns and allowing players to observe a foe's capabilities while watching them waste MP.

The sole draw back of the vocation is it's scarcity, being reserved for only the player in III and having steep requisites to unlock in VI & VII. In the latter two games the Hero is already equipped with a wide variety of abilities to fulfill any role required of them thanks to the necessity of mastering several lesser vocations.

Appearances

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

The Hero vocation is available only to the Player themselves. It has access to incredibly powerful spells and equipment forbidden to other vocations, the former of which would serve as the foundation for appearances in later titles. The Hero enjoys superb strength and resilience, decent agility and luck, but substandard wisdom and MP.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

The Hero has been buffed considerably for the second remake, with focus on MP growth in particular to live up to the archetypal magic knight found in the protagonists of later games. These buffs, combined with an assortment of newly added self-sufficient skills, mean that solo missions are no longer the fool's errands as they were in the past.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

The Hero class draws on the power of heroes past in order to save the world. The Hero is the most balanced of the three advanced vocation, lacking the specialist nature of Champions and Druids but also being able to handle a wider variety of situations. This is especially true in the Nintendo 3DS remake, where the vocation learns every major attack spell, support spell, every elemental slash, and enough situational abilities to disable any group of foes.

In order to become a Hero, one must master three intermediate classes or two intermediate classes and one advanced class. This steep time investment applies to all characters, even the Hero, who does not get a shortcut as his predecessor of Dragon Quest VI did. The player can also obtain a Hero Heart from defeating The Almighty in 20 turns or less, though unlike Monster Hearts (or other Monster Vocations), the skills learned from mastering the Hero Heart do not transfer to other vocations.
