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

==Characteristics==

The Hero is the most powerful ~~class~~, 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. In ~~addition~~ to a ~~+10% HP boost~~, the ~~Hero naturally recovers HP at the end~~ of ~~each turn~~ and ~~can restore~~ a ~~colossal 500 HP at will through the Meditation skill at no~~ MP ~~cost~~.

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.

~~Due to requiring~~ the ~~completion of intermediary vocations~~ to unlock, the Hero is already equipped with a wide variety of ~~skills~~ to fulfill any role required of them~~. 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.

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.

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.

The Hero class requires [[Gladiator]], [[~~Ranger~~]], [[~~Sage~~]] and [[~~Luminary~~]] classes to unlock, with one exception; [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|~~The Hero~~]] only needs one of the four vocations to access this class.

~~[[File:DQVII Hero class.png|right|Hero design implemented in the 3DS remake|border|180px]]~~

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 [[Champion]]s and [[Druid]]s 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.

The Hero class draws on the power of heroes past in order to save the world. The Hero ~~regains HP every round. The higher~~ the ~~tier level~~, the ~~more HP regained. In order~~ to ~~become~~ a ~~Hero~~, ~~one must master three intermediate classes or two intermediate classes~~ and ~~an advanced class~~.

The player can also obtain a Hero Heart from defeating [[Numen|The Almighty]] in 19 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.

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 7}}, who does not get a shortcut as his predecessor of ''Dragon Quest VI'' did. The player can also obtain a [[Hero Heart]] from defeating [[Numen|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.

===[[Dragon Quest VII Reimagined]]===

Much like in the classic versions of Dragon Quest VII, in Reimagined the Hero vocation is unlocked by mastering three intermediate vocations (Gladiator, Paladin, Armamentalist, Sage, Luminary, Pirate and Monster Master).

Heroes get a boost to all their stats, and have an overall top-tier skillset with full party healing and spells from the [[Zap]] family.

+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.

+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 [[Champion]]s and [[Druid]]s 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.
-The Hero class draws on the power of heroes past in order to save the world. The Hero regains HP every round. The higher the tier level, the more HP regained. In order to become a Hero, one must master three intermediate classes or two intermediate classes and an advanced class.
-The player can also obtain a Hero Heart from defeating [[Numen|The Almighty]] in 19 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.

+Much like in the classic versions of Dragon Quest VII, in Reimagined the Hero vocation is unlocked by mastering three intermediate vocations (Gladiator, Paladin, Armamentalist, Sage, Luminary, Pirate and Monster Master).
+Heroes get a boost to all their stats, and have an overall top-tier skillset with full party healing and spells from the [[Zap]] family.
