The Hero is the greatest high-level vocation in the Dragon Quest series.

Hero are the most powerful of the vocations in the Dragon Quest series, being magical knights with high attack, defence, decent agility, and powerful magic at the cost of low MP.

Description

Heroes are the most powerful class, bar none. A saviour 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.

Due to requiring the completion of intermediary vocations to unlock, Heroes are already equipped with a wide variety of skills to fulfil any role required of them. Heroes has near exclusive access to the incredibly powerful legendary lightning spells (the Zap-type spells) 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.

The Hero vocation 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 vocations or two intermediate vocations and an advanced vocation. The player can also obtain a Hero Heart from defeating The Almighty in 19 turns or less.

The Adventure of Dai

Hero is the vocation of multiple characters, including Dai, Nova and the Fake Hero Deroline.

Avan was a Hero in the past before changing into a Tutor.

According to Matoriv, the Hero vocation is like "the jack of everything" but although other vocations like warriors or mages can do better, nevertheless the most unique trait a hero possess is courage to face any enemy.

Zap-type spells are only available to heroes but Dai is the only one using it.
