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 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 vocation is available only to [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|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, and substandard wisdom and MP.

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 Hero class draws on the power of heroes past in order to save the world. The Hero is the most balanced 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 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 an advanced class. This steep time investment applies to all characters, even the {{Hero 7}}, who does not get a shortcut as the Hero of ''VI'' did. 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.
