==Dragon Quest VII==
 
===Stat Changes===
The {{translation|'''Warrior'''|戦士|Senshi|lit. Soldier}} is a [[vocation]] in the series introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}. Warriors typically have high HP, Strength, and Resilience, but low Agility, and typically possess no magical capability whatsoever.
 
==Characteristics==
Warriors specialise in armed combat in battle, being capable of wielding the strongest weapons and wearing the heaviest armour, shields, and helmets available. They boast incredible growths in Strength, Resilience, and maximum HP, but are often the slowest party member in the group: it would be a wise idea to have them equip Agility-boosting accessories whenever available to keep them on par with other party members. Warriors typically share most of their equipment choices with the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]], as well as having access to some weapons that are unique to them such as heavy axes and hammers. They will sometimes forgo weapon accuracy in favor of wielding weapons that have a higher chance of inflicting [[Critical Hit|critical hit]]s, such as [[Hela's hammer]] and the [[Headsman's axe]]. Warriors are sometimes troublesome to the party's finances, as it can quickly become expensive to keep them equipped with the newest and best equipment in each town.

Warrior is one of the basic professions available, teaching risky techniques that can backfire on the player in exchange for their utility. It is one of the prerequisites for the [[Gladiator]], along with [[Martial Artist]], and for the [[Armamentalist]] vocation along with [[Mage]].

==={{DQ7}}===
Warrior is once again one of the basic vocations available after the events at [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]]. The vocation's repertoire of skills is less dangerous than before, eschewing some of the questionable techniques for those that deal heavy damage to certain types of monsters. Mastering it is a prerequisite to unlock both the Gladiator and Armamentalist vocations. In the 3DS version, the outfit for Warriors is very similar to those seen in ''IX''

===Usefulness===
====3DS abilities====
After the events in [[Dharma]], the warrior is a useful class to become because of the strength increase that it affords. Among the skills that the warrior learns, Evil Slash is by far the most useful. Although it misses half the time, when it does connect, it is a critical hit, making short work of [[Metal Monsters]]. The Drake Slash is also good for dragon bosses that the player encounters.

====Strategy====
The Warrior is a useful class to become because of the strength increase that it affords. Among the skills that the warrior learns, Hatchet Man is by far the most useful. Although it misses half the time, when it does connect it will always be a critical hit, making short work of [[Metal slime family|metal Slimes]]. The Dragon Slash is also good for [[dragon]] bosses that the player encounters.
 
For hybrid skills, the two most useful ones are Sword Dance, which requires both a mature warrior and a mature [[Dancer]], and Kelpto Clobber, which requires a mature warrior and a mature [[Thief]]. Sword Dance attacks four times with 0.75% power, making it useful for boss fights as it will hit for 300% more attack power than normal attacks. It is also the most cost effective skill in the game as it doesn't require any MP to use. Klepto Clobber is useful because it steals from enemies, making it a nice skill to have if the player is looking for a particular item. However, the chance of stealing is rather low.
 
Regarding career advancement, the Warrior can combine the mastered [[Mage]] class and become an [[Armamentalist]]. The 'mentalist has access to some elemental slashes and the extremely powerful spell [[Kafrizzle]]. The Warrior can also combine the mastered [[Martial Artist]] class and become a [[Gladiator]]. The Gladiator has stronger attacks including [[Multifists]]. After the Gladiator class is mastered, the Gladiator can then become a [[Champion]] as long as the [[Paladin]] class is also mastered. The Champion has several powerful attacks culminating with [[Blade of Ultimate Power]], a must for beating the final bosses in the game.
 
===[[Dragon Quest VII Reimagined]]===
Warrior returns as one of the basic vocations in the game as soon as they become available during the Alltrades Abbey arc. Much like in the classic versions, it boosts the HP and physical strength of the character using this vocation. Warriors learn a variety of physical skills, most of which focus on damaging a single enemy.
 
Matering it alongside [[Martial Artist]] allows party member to venture into the [[Gladiator]] vocation, while doing so alongside [[Mage]] lets them become [[Armamentalist]].

For hybrid skills, the two most useful ones are Sword Dance, which requires both a mature warrior and a mature [[Dancer]], and Thief Hit, which requires a mature warrior and a mature [[Thief]]. Sword Dance attacks four times with 75 percent power, making useful for boss fights as it is like attack for 300 percent power. It is also the most cost effective skill in the game as it doesn't require any MP to use. Thief Hit is useful because it steals from enemies, making it a nice skill to have if the player is looking for a particular item. However, the chance of stealing is rather low.


Regarding evolution, the Warrior can combine the mastered [[Mage]] class and become a [[Ranger]]. The Ranger has access to some elemental slashes and the extremely powerful spell Blazemost. The Warrior can also combine the mastered [[Fighter]] class and become a [[Dragoon]]. The Dragoon has stronger attacks including Quad Hits. After the Dragoon class is mastered, the Dragoon can then become a [[Godhand]] as long as the [[Paladin]] class is also mastered. The Godhand has several powerful attacks culminating with Ultrahit, a must for beating the final bosses in the game.
==={{DQ9}}===
The Warrior Class is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset 'Courage'. Warriors can also use skill points to learn [[Sword]], [[Spear]], [[Knife]], and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "[[Critical Claim]]" an attack that always lands a critical hit.
 
Warriors are considered the preliminary to Gladiators, and when the two are compared, Warriors aren't as agile or as strong. They also cannot equip heavier armor sets. However, Warriors have the advantage having more HP, Resilience, MP, and are able to wield [[Shield|Shields]]. They also have options to draw enemy aggro and protect other party members. Thus, parties who need a reliable tank should stick with a Warrior, or at least obtain Omnivocational Shieldmaster to help smooth over the transition to a Gladiator.

*The female Warrior's design has been altered in newer appearances due to the [https://www.cero.gr.jp/en/ Japanese CERO ratings board] in order to avoid increasing the age rating for certain games. In {{DQM3D}}, she is seen wearing a black top and shorts under her armour. This design also appears in {{DQStars}} and {{DQTreasures}}. The design was altered again with the HD-2D release of ''III'', where the black cloth was switched with a light beige.

--Description of the Warrior from Dragon Quest VII (3DS)


The Warrior (戦士, Senshi?, lit. lit. Soldier) is a vocation in the series introduced in Dragon Quest III. Warriors typically have high HP, Strength, and Resilience, but low Agility, and typically possess no magical capability whatsoever.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Warriors specialise in armed combat in battle, being capable of wielding the strongest weapons and wearing the heaviest armour, shields, and helmets available. They boast incredible growths in Strength, Resilience, and maximum HP, but are often the slowest party member in the group: it would be a wise idea to have them equip Agility-boosting accessories whenever available to keep them on par with other party members. Warriors typically share most of their equipment choices with the Hero, as well as having access to some weapons that are unique to them such as heavy axes and hammers. They will sometimes forgo weapon accuracy in favor of wielding weapons that have a higher chance of inflicting critical hits, such as Hela's hammer and the Headsman's axe. Warriors are sometimes troublesome to the party's finances, as it can quickly become expensive to keep them equipped with the newest and best equipment in each town.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit | edit source]

Warrior is one of the basic professions available, teaching risky techniques that can backfire on the player in exchange for their utility. It is one of the prerequisites for the Gladiator, along with Martial Artist, and for the Armamentalist vocation along with Mage.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit | edit source]

Warrior is once again one of the basic vocations available after the events at Alltrades Abbey. The vocation's repertoire of skills is less dangerous than before, eschewing some of the questionable techniques for those that deal heavy damage to certain types of monsters. Mastering it is a prerequisite to unlock both the Gladiator and Armamentalist vocations. In the 3DS version, the outfit for Warriors is very similar to those seen in IX

Strategy[edit | edit source]

The Warrior is a useful class to become because of the strength increase that it affords. Among the skills that the warrior learns, Hatchet Man is by far the most useful. Although it misses half the time, when it does connect it will always be a critical hit, making short work of metal Slimes. The Dragon Slash is also good for dragon bosses that the player encounters.

For hybrid skills, the two most useful ones are Sword Dance, which requires both a mature warrior and a mature Dancer, and Kelpto Clobber, which requires a mature warrior and a mature Thief. Sword Dance attacks four times with 0.75% power, making it useful for boss fights as it will hit for 300% more attack power than normal attacks. It is also the most cost effective skill in the game as it doesn't require any MP to use. Klepto Clobber is useful because it steals from enemies, making it a nice skill to have if the player is looking for a particular item. However, the chance of stealing is rather low.

Regarding career advancement, the Warrior can combine the mastered Mage class and become an Armamentalist. The 'mentalist has access to some elemental slashes and the extremely powerful spell Kafrizzle. The Warrior can also combine the mastered Martial Artist class and become a Gladiator. The Gladiator has stronger attacks including Multifists. After the Gladiator class is mastered, the Gladiator can then become a Champion as long as the Paladin class is also mastered. The Champion has several powerful attacks culminating with Blade of Ultimate Power, a must for beating the final bosses in the game.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined[edit | edit source]

Warrior returns as one of the basic vocations in the game as soon as they become available during the Alltrades Abbey arc. Much like in the classic versions, it boosts the HP and physical strength of the character using this vocation. Warriors learn a variety of physical skills, most of which focus on damaging a single enemy.

Matering it alongside Martial Artist allows party member to venture into the Gladiator vocation, while doing so alongside Mage lets them become Armamentalist.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]

The Warrior Class is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset 'Courage'. Warriors can also use skill points to learn Sword, Spear, Knife, and Shield skills. Their Coup-de-Grace is "Critical Claim" an attack that always lands a critical hit.

Warriors are considered the preliminary to Gladiators, and when the two are compared, Warriors aren't as agile or as strong. They also cannot equip heavier armor sets. However, Warriors have the advantage having more HP, Resilience, MP, and are able to wield Shields. They also have options to draw enemy aggro and protect other party members. Thus, parties who need a reliable tank should stick with a Warrior, or at least obtain Omnivocational Shieldmaster to help smooth over the transition to a Gladiator.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The female Warrior from Dragon Quest III has made cameo appearances as an NPC in other games in the series, such as Monsters, VIII, XI, and Swords. Male Warriors also appeared as NPCs in XI as well.
  • The female Warrior's design has been altered in newer appearances due to the Japanese CERO ratings board in order to avoid increasing the age rating for certain games. In Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D, she is seen wearing a black top and shorts under her armour. This design also appears in Dragon Quest of the Stars and Dragon Quest Treasures. The design was altered again with the HD-2D release of III, where the black cloth was switched with a light beige.
