====Description====
The power of the heavens flows through the Champion, infusing their very being with divine energies. In order to become a Champion, one must master the [[Gladiator]] and [[Paladin]] vocations. Champions enjoy the highest strength boost of any vocation, and do not suffer the wisdom reduction that plagued gladiators. This is not to imply that champions can only focus on offense--the class enjoys a surprisingly varied amount of support abilities.

Champions were added to the game on September 27th, 2022 as the first special vocation that exceeds advanced vocations. A character can become a Champion if they have reached level 70 or higher as both a [[Gladiator]] and a [[Paladin]]. A banner was also held from September 27th to November 3rd, 2022 with special equipment that allows players to look like the Champion's new design.
Their weapons of choice include one-handed [[Sword Weapon Family|Sword]]s, [[Axe Weapon Family|Axe]]s, [[Spear Weapon Family|Spear]]s, and [[Claw Weapon Family|Claw]]s. The vocation's first trait is God Rage, which gives them a chance to increase their slashing, physical skill, and breath damage by 40% at the start of the turn while their second is God Guard, which allows them to take damage in the place of an ally and potentially survive fatal damage with 1 HP remaining. Their third trait, God Chain, increases the Champion's critical hit rate and guard rate considerably when both God Rage and God Guard are activated.

Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit | edit source]

Champion is a super vocation in Stars. It requires obtaining the vocational scroll and having leveled up the Gladiator vocation up to level 99 or higher.

As in the other games it appears in, Champion is a very strong yet durable vocation.

Dragon Quest Walk[edit | edit source]

Champions were added to the game on September 27th, 2022 as the first special vocation that exceeds advanced vocations. A character can become a Champion if they have reached level 70 or higher as both a Gladiator and a Paladin. A banner was also held from September 27th to November 3rd, 2022 with special equipment that allows players to look like the Champion's new design.

Their weapons of choice include one-handed Swords, Axes, Spears, and Claws. The vocation's first trait is God Rage, which gives them a chance to increase their slashing, physical skill, and breath damage by 40% at the start of the turn while their second is God Guard, which allows them to take damage in the place of an ally and potentially survive fatal damage with 1 HP remaining. Their third trait, God Chain, increases the Champion's critical hit rate and guard rate considerably when both God Rage and God Guard are activated.
