In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|the Hero]] begins the game as this class. It has limited healing and offensive spells on top of the ability to wield [[Fan]]s, [[Sword]]s, [[Whip]]s, and [[Shield]]s. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Rough N' Tumble," which increases evasion and counterattack chances. | In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|the Hero]] begins the game as this class.

Minstrels serve as a jack-of-all-trades class that can handle damage, spellcasting, healing, and distraction. This allows early players to test out various aspects of classes. However, Minstrels do not excel in any particular area, and might switch into other classes, such as a [[Gladiator]] or [[Armamentalist]], later on, depending on what the player wants. Despite this, Minstrels are still a respectable class, and can be kept as a multitasker in the party.
