The '''shimmering dress''' is a recurring dress in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that first appeared in [[Dragon Quest IV]]. This radiant yellow gown sometimes reflects incoming spells from both enemies and allies, with the exact frequency depending on the title. Design wise, it has shifted from a loose-fitting robe to a regal ballroom gown as of the seventh game.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The shimmering dress has a defence bonus of +90 and reduces damage taken from breath and magic attacks by 33%. It is the strongest piece of armour in remakes of the game, but it can only be worn by female characters. In the SNES/GBC remake, one can be found as a prize for completing the 4th [[T'n'T|T'n'T board]] (1st Goal) & more can be purchased from the 5th board in one of the shops for 19,000 gold.
*As T'n'T boards were removed from the smart phone versions of the game, a single shimmering dress replaces one of the [[mimic]]s in [[Zoma's Castle]].

The '''metal wing boomerang''' is a {{Boomerang}} in the {{DQSeries}}. It is the most powerful boomerang in it's debut, and a top-tier weapon in all subsequent appearances.

In addition to it's high damage output, it is capable of dealing at least 1 damage to {{Metal slime}}s, meaning it can chip away at entire groups of the globs at once.

The metal wing boomerang has an {{Attack}} bonus of +90 (+70 in the Japanese version) and can be equipped by the {{Hero 8}} and [[Morrie]]. It damages all enemies in battle, like all {{Boomerang}}s, and is guaranteed to inflict 1-2 damage on {{Metal slime}}s.

It can only be made using the [[Alchemy Pot]]. However, one of the drawbacks to making the boomerang is that one has to sacrifice their Metal king spear, as there is only one in the game. This is rectified in the {{3DS}} version, as another [[Metal king spear]] can be found in [[Memories Lane]].
*The [[Cell phone|smartphone]] and {{3DS}} versions of the game also introduced the ability to turn the boomerang back into the spear by combining it with a [[Holy lance]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]].

The '''Hero''' of {{DQ3}} is a fabled, Legendary Hero from the days of lore and the ancient history of [[Alefgard]]. Though only appearing in one game, the legacy of The Hero would live on in the "[[Erdrick Trilogy]]", so named for the [[Erdrick|title]] bestowed upon them and carried forth by their descendants.

In {{SSB5}}, The Hero of {{Dragon Quest III}} is playable as an alternate costume for [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|the game's version of the Hero]], alongside the {{Luminary}} and the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Dragon Quest IV]]'' and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. This Hero has been given the default name '''Arusu''' (アルス) in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game. Arusu has also appeared as his default name in official screencaps of the {{Super Famicom}} version and the 2D-HD remake of the game. In the [[Dragon Quest III CD Theater|CD Theater]] audio drama of the game, the Hero is named '''Arel''' (アレル).

==Appearance==
Although the Hero can be either male or female, their appearances are practically identical. They are of average height and build, and they have incredibly spiky, dark brown or black hair. The Heroine is slightly shorter than her male counterpart, her hair sticks up less, and she wears a pair of green studs as earrings. Around their forehead is a silver circlet inlaid with a green gem. They wear a long blue tunic over a yellow long-sleeved shirt and pants, a pair of knee-length leather boots, leather gloves, and a long magenta cloak around their necks. They wear a brown leather belt around their waist, and a scabbard strapped to their back.

The Hero wields a simple sword and a grey heater shield with an insignia of a dragon's head and two crossed swords on the front. The Hero's outfit is slightly different in the {{Famicom}} illustrations, having a gold circlet with a blue gem around their forehead, and a dark blue cloak around their neck. They are seen carrying a cutlass and a round version of [[Erdrick]]'s shield. There were also no illustrations of the female [[Erdrick]] until the {{Super Famicom}} remake: in certain illustrations, the female [[Erdrick]]'s outfit is more feminized, making her blue tunic a strapless miniskirt. In certain illustrations and depictions, the male Hero's hair is a lighter shade of brown and the gems on the hero's circlet and the female hero's earrings alternate between green and blue.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Hero was raised by their [[Hero's Mother (Dragon Quest III)|mother]] and grandfather in their home in [[Aliahan]]. Their father, the renowned warrior [[Ortega]], was tasked by the king of Aliahan to assassinate the world-threatening archfiend [[Baramos]] on the very day of their birth. Sometime later, word of Ortega's supposed death at the [[Great Pit of Giaga]] reaches the kingdom and The Hero's mother proposes that her child can follow in [[Ortega]]'s footsteps to free the world from [[Baramos]]' growing menace. The child is then trained to become a great warrior like their father and, on their sixteenth birthday, they officially depart to save the world. The king gives a word of warning to take companions with them on their quest lest they meet the same fate as their father and instructs them to visit [[Patty's Party Planning Place]] before leaving the safety of [[Aliahan]].

The [[King of Aliahan]] has discreetly sent word of The Hero's journey to the monarchs of every major nation--this is why the Kings and Queen warmly receive them even though the citizenry knows nothing of their mission. The Hero encounters several towns and kingdoms throughout their journey and accomplishes many feats of heroism, such mending the wounds between the {{Faerie}}s and the people of [[Norvik]] and freeing the nation of [[Jipang]] from the deceit of a sinister [[Orochi|serpent]]. Six legendary [[Six Orbs|Orbs]] are gathered by The Hero along their trek, which they use to hatch the legendary Everbird [[Ramia]]. The phoenix is the direct servant of the [[Goddess]], and her camaraderie with The Hero is irrefutable proof of their destiny as the savior of the world. Additionally, The Hero encounters the dying [[Dragon Queen|Queen of Dragons]] in her remote mountain [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|castle]]. Before she succumbs to her age, she gives The Hero the [[Sphere of Light]] and reassures them that their destiny is on of great courage and hardship for the benefit of the entire world.

After defeating [[Baramos]], The Hero returns victorious to [[Aliahan]] only to be confronted by a new nemesis, [[Zoma]]. Taking up a new quest to defeat the true evil, The Hero travels through the [[Necrogond Shrine]] to the world below and arrives in [[Alefgard]], which is sealed in perpetual darkness under the devil's heel. Here, The Hero fights back against the eternal night by freeing the entrapped Goddess [[Rubiss]] and besieging [[Zoma's Citadel]]. Against all odds, The Hero encounters their father fighting in the depths of the castle--[[Ortega]] had fallen into the world below during his fight at the crater of the Giaga volcano and resumed his mission by seeking to kill the evil plaguing both worlds at its source.

Tragically, [[Ortega]] is mortally wounded in a battle with the [[King Hydra]] before he can even reach [[Zoma]], and is so severely burned by the dragon that he can no longer see. Sensing someone is present, [[Ortega]] embraces his death with despair and bemoans his inability to bring peace to his world and that he was never able to see his child grow up. [[Ortega]] then quietly dies in The Hero's arms.

Reaching the lowest level of the castle, The Hero kills the [[King Hydra]] before fighting through the [[Bones of Baramos|animated corpse of Baramos]] and the fiend's very [[Soul of Baramos|soul]] on their way to Zoma's throne. The devil mocks the would-be savior and the battle begins, with [[Zoma]]'s impenetrable shroud of darkness being burned away by the sphere of light and leaving him vulnerable. After a vicious clash, The Hero emerges victorious, and Zoma begins to fade away--warning that hen though he may perish, there will always be [[Dragonlord|an evil]] to take [[Hargon|his place]].

The castle begins to collapse due to the force of the battle, and The Hero emerges from the [[Nail Mark]] north of [[Tantegel]]. The light of the sun has begun to shine in [[Alefgard]] for the first time in untold years, and the people receive The Hero as nothing short of a messiah sent by the [[Goddess]]. The king bestows upon them the title of [[Erdrick]], the most sacred honor that the land has, and the stratum gap between the world above and [[Alefgard]] closes before The Hero can return. Unable to rejoin friends and family above, The Hero settles down in their new home and begins a family that will continue their legacy of standing resolute in the face of desolating evil.

In the {{Super Famicom}} remake of the game and all subsequent ports, The Hero's attribute growth is determined by their [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III|Personality]]. At the start of the game, The Hero is asked a series of questions by a mysterious voice in the sky, culminating in a short scene in order to see just what type of person The Hero is. There are 32 different personalities that can be assigned at the beginning, but it is possible to change it with the help of various books or accessories that can be found.

The Hero is not a genuine jack-of-all-trades character despite a decent spell list, with their stats focusing more on physical strength and durability more than spell casting--this results in an {{MP}} shortage once expensive spells such as [[Kazap]] and [[Omniheal]] are learned. This can be corrected with the application of an {{MP}}-boosting personality and by consuming [[Seed of magic]] and [[Seed of wisdom]] when found.

The Hero is not able to change classes like other characters in the game, with the abbot of {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} reprimanding them for attempting to slack in their duties. The Hero must always be in the {{Party 3}} until [[Post Game|after]] defeating [[Zoma]].

In this game’s true ending after [[Serenica]] is shown to reunite with [[Erdwin]], the beginning of {{Dragon Quest III}} is shown, with {{III}}'s Hero appearing at the end to be awoken by their mother before setting off for [[Aliahan]] castle. Their mother was shown reading a red book that detailed the adventure of the {{Luminary}} before walking upstairs to awaken their child--whether this book is a historical account or a work of fiction is unknown.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
Both Heroes are represented as [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|statues]], with base values of 5,000,000 each. They are given the title of ''Heralded Hero/Heroine'' for distinction's sake.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Hero of {{III}}, under the name Arusu, appears as one of four {{Hero Smash}}es alongside the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|XI]]'', ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV]]'', and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. He wields the [[Sword of Kings]] and the [[Hero's Shield]]. While playing as the Hero during Classic Mode, Arusu appears as Round 6's opponent and is fought on the third version of Castle Siege.

==Lineage==
The Hero's bloodline is that of powerful men and women who save the world from the grips of darkness. While every person descended from them carries their spirit, the most notable are the protagonists of the first and second games. These are The [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Scion of Erdrick]], The {{Prince of Midenhall}}, The [[Prince of Cannock]], and The [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. Their own adventures would shape the course of history for the betterment of the world and ensures that the name of [[Erdrick]] never leaves the heart of [[Alefgard]].

==Items Iconography==
As the Hero's legacy has grown in the distant time between the third and first game, several items and pieces of equipment that once belonged to The Hero have Erdrick in their names. See the ''[[Erdrick Equipment]]'' article for more details on the sword and armor set, along with the emblem.

Beyond the gear The Hero took into battle, they also left behind a tablet with a message written left for their descendant in {{Dragon Quest}}. It gives instructions on what items are needed to create the [[Rainbow Drop]], which is the location of [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]]. The tablet is found in a small cave that would be named [[Erdrick's Cave]] after their passing.

==Trivia==
*The manga series ''Gintama'' has a parody of ''Dragon Quest'' which stars [http://gintama.wikia.com/wiki/Leukocyte_King Leukocyte King], a character based on {{III}}'s Hero.
*As this is the first game in the mainline, numbered {{DQSeries}} to allow players to determine The Hero's gender, the female version of {{Dragon Quest III}}'s Hero is the first female main protagonist in that series.
*The Hero shares his voice actor in the audio drama with Android 16 from Akira Toriyama's ''Dragon Ball'' series. He also shares his voice with Marth from the ''Fire Emblem'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. [[Hikaru Midorikawa]] also voiced the character Derolin in the original {{The Adventure of Dai}} anime, a false hero who dresses almost identically to the male Hero a few years prior to the CD drama.
**In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he shares his voice actor, [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0387033/ Nobuyuki Hiyama], with Barry Kahn from ''Dragon Ball Super'' as well as the adult incarnation of Link from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' (and, by extension, Link's appearances in the first two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games). ''Super Smash Bros.'' series creator Masahiro Sakurai also noted that Hiyama's performance may be recognized as Guy Shishioh from ''The King of Braves GaoGaiGar'', and that his recording sessions for ''Ultimate'' as {{III}}'s Hero were surprisingly quick and easy, thanks to his extensive prior experience in video game voice-acting.
*The name Arusu (アルス) has appeared various times throughout the series history. It appeared as a default name for the Hero in official screenshots for the {{Super Famicom}} version of {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is also the name of the main character from ''[[Dragon Quest Saga: Emblem of Roto]]'' manga first released in 1991. Arusu has been the default name for the {{Hero 7}} of {{Dragon Quest VII}} in both the official manga adaptation and in various screenshots for the game. Lastly, in the CG movie {{Your Story}}, {{Parry}} was named Alus.
*The Hero of {{Dragon Quest III}} is one of the few heroes in the mainline games to speak. If the Hero is the second character in the party order when entering [[Gaia's Navel]], they will briefly be able to be spoken to and will recite the same dialog as any other {{Party 3}} member.

The '''thinking cap''' is a recurring piece of headwear in the [[Dragon Quest series|''Dragon Quest'']] series, designed to augment its wearer's intelligence.

The '''Hero''' of {{DQ3}} is a fabled, Legendary Hero from the days of lore and the ancient history of [[Alefgard]]. Though only appearing in one game, the legacy of The Hero would live on in the "[[Erdrick Trilogy]]", so named for the [[Erdrick|title]] bestowed upon them and carried forth by their descendants.

In {{SSB5}}, The Hero of {{Dragon Quest III}} is playable as an alternate costume for [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|the game's version of the Hero]], alongside the {{Luminary}} and the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Dragon Quest IV]]'' and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. This Hero has been given the default name '''Arusu''' (アルス) in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game. Arusu has also appeared as his default name in official screencaps of the {{Super Famicom}} version and the 2D-HD remake of the game. In the [[Dragon Quest III CD Theater|CD Theater]] audio drama of the game, the Hero is named '''Arel''' (アレル).

==Appearance==
Although the Hero can be either male or female, their appearances are practically identical. They are of average height and build, and they have incredibly spiky, dark brown or black hair. The Heroine is slightly shorter than her male counterpart, her hair sticks up less, and she wears a pair of green studs as earrings. Around their forehead is a silver circlet inlaid with a green gem. They wear a long blue tunic over a yellow long-sleeved shirt and pants, a pair of knee-length leather boots, leather gloves, and a long magenta cloak around their necks. They wear a brown leather belt around their waist, and a scabbard strapped to their back.

The Hero wields a simple sword and a grey heater shield with an insignia of a dragon's head and two crossed swords on the front. The Hero's outfit is slightly different in the {{Famicom}} illustrations, having a gold circlet with a blue gem around their forehead, and a dark blue cloak around their neck. They are seen carrying a cutlass and a round version of [[Erdrick]]'s shield. There were also no illustrations of the female [[Erdrick]] until the {{Super Famicom}} remake: in certain illustrations, the female [[Erdrick]]'s outfit is more feminized, making her blue tunic a strapless miniskirt. In certain illustrations and depictions, the male Hero's hair is a lighter shade of brown and the gems on the hero's circlet and the female hero's earrings alternate between green and blue.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Hero was raised by their [[Hero's Mother (Dragon Quest III)|mother]] and grandfather in their home in [[Aliahan]]. Their father, the renowned warrior [[Ortega]], was tasked by the king of Aliahan to assassinate the world-threatening archfiend [[Baramos]] on the very day of their birth. Sometime later, word of Ortega's supposed death at the [[Great Pit of Giaga]] reaches the kingdom and The Hero's mother proposes that her child can follow in [[Ortega]]'s footsteps to free the world from [[Baramos]]' growing menace. The child is then trained to become a great warrior like their father and, on their sixteenth birthday, they officially depart to save the world. The king gives a word of warning to take companions with them on their quest lest they meet the same fate as their father and instructs them to visit [[Patty's Party Planning Place]] before leaving the safety of [[Aliahan]].

The [[King of Aliahan]] has discreetly sent word of The Hero's journey to the monarchs of every major nation--this is why the Kings and Queen warmly receive them even though the citizenry knows nothing of their mission. The Hero encounters several towns and kingdoms throughout their journey and accomplishes many feats of heroism, such mending the wounds between the {{Faerie}}s and the people of [[Norvik]] and freeing the nation of [[Jipang]] from the deceit of a sinister [[Orochi|serpent]]. Six legendary [[Six Orbs|Orbs]] are gathered by The Hero along their trek, which they use to hatch the legendary Everbird [[Ramia]]. The phoenix is the direct servant of the [[Goddess]], and her camaraderie with The Hero is irrefutable proof of their destiny as the savior of the world. Additionally, The Hero encounters the dying [[Dragon Queen|Queen of Dragons]] in her remote mountain [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|castle]]. Before she succumbs to her age, she gives The Hero the [[Sphere of Light]] and reassures them that their destiny is on of great courage and hardship for the benefit of the entire world.

After defeating [[Baramos]], The Hero returns victorious to [[Aliahan]] only to be confronted by a new nemesis, [[Zoma]]. Taking up a new quest to defeat the true evil, The Hero travels through the [[Necrogond Shrine]] to the world below and arrives in [[Alefgard]], which is sealed in perpetual darkness under the devil's heel. Here, The Hero fights back against the eternal night by freeing the entrapped Goddess [[Rubiss]] and besieging [[Zoma's Citadel]]. Against all odds, The Hero encounters their father fighting in the depths of the castle--[[Ortega]] had fallen into the world below during his fight at the crater of the Giaga volcano and resumed his mission by seeking to kill the evil plaguing both worlds at its source.

Tragically, [[Ortega]] is mortally wounded in a battle with the [[King Hydra]] before he can even reach [[Zoma]], and is so severely burned by the dragon that he can no longer see. Sensing someone is present, [[Ortega]] embraces his death with despair and bemoans his inability to bring peace to his world and that he was never able to see his child grow up. [[Ortega]] then quietly dies in The Hero's arms.

Reaching the lowest level of the castle, The Hero kills the [[King Hydra]] before fighting through the [[Bones of Baramos|animated corpse of Baramos]] and the fiend's very [[Soul of Baramos|soul]] on their way to Zoma's throne. The devil mocks the would-be savior and the battle begins, with [[Zoma]]'s impenetrable shroud of darkness being burned away by the sphere of light and leaving him vulnerable. After a vicious clash, The Hero emerges victorious, and Zoma begins to fade away--warning that hen though he may perish, there will always be [[Dragonlord|an evil]] to take [[Hargon|his place]].

The castle begins to collapse due to the force of the battle, and The Hero emerges from the [[Nail Mark]] north of [[Tantegel]]. The light of the sun has begun to shine in [[Alefgard]] for the first time in untold years, and the people receive The Hero as nothing short of a messiah sent by the [[Goddess]]. The king bestows upon them the title of [[Erdrick]], the most sacred honor that the land has, and the stratum gap between the world above and [[Alefgard]] closes before The Hero can return. Unable to rejoin friends and family above, The Hero settles down in their new home and begins a family that will continue their legacy of standing resolute in the face of desolating evil.

In the {{Super Famicom}} remake of the game and all subsequent ports, The Hero's attribute growth is determined by their [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III|Personality]]. At the start of the game, The Hero is asked a series of questions by a mysterious voice in the sky, culminating in a short scene in order to see just what type of person The Hero is. There are 32 different personalities that can be assigned at the beginning, but it is possible to change it with the help of various books or accessories that can be found.

The Hero is not a genuine jack-of-all-trades character despite a decent spell list, with their stats focusing more on physical strength and durability more than spell casting--this results in an {{MP}} shortage once expensive spells such as [[Kazap]] and [[Omniheal]] are learned. This can be corrected with the application of an {{MP}}-boosting personality and by consuming [[Seed of magic]] and [[Seed of wisdom]] when found.

The Hero is not able to change classes like other characters in the game, with the abbot of {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} reprimanding them for attempting to slack in their duties. The Hero must always be in the {{Party 3}} until [[Post Game|after]] defeating [[Zoma]].

====Spells====
The Hero is capable of learning a balanced mix of magic from both the [[Priest]] and [[Mage]]'s pools, as well as some that are unique to them, such as [[Kaclang]] and [[Zap]].

==={{DQ9}}===
In this game, it is possible to replicate The Hero's outfit by receiving pieces from defeating either [[Baramos]] or [[Zoma]], who appear as [[Legacy Boss]]es in the game. An accolade is conferred to the player after wearing all of the pieces of this outfit.
*[[Aliahan costume]]

==={{DQ11}}===
In this game’s true ending after [[Serenica]] is shown to reunite with [[Erdwin]], the beginning of {{Dragon Quest III}} is shown, with {{III}}'s Hero appearing at the end to be awoken by their mother before setting off for [[Aliahan]] castle. Their mother was shown reading a red book that detailed the adventure of the {{Luminary}} before walking upstairs to awaken their child--whether this book is a historical account or a work of fiction is unknown.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
Both Heroes are represented as [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|statues]], with base values of 5,000,000 each. They are given the title of ''Heralded Hero/Heroine'' for distinction's sake.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Hero is called Hero Erdrick and he appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest III'' event, appearing on his own banner alongside [[Baramonster]]. He can participate in [[Robbin' 'Ood|Robbin' 'Ood's]] Battle Road as a party member.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Hero of {{III}}, under the name Arusu, appears as one of four {{Hero Smash}}es alongside the Heroes of ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|XI]]'', ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV]]'', and ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]]''. He wields the [[Sword of Kings]] and the [[Hero's Shield]]. While playing as the Hero during Classic Mode, Arusu appears as Round 6's opponent and is fought on the third version of Castle Siege.

==Lineage==
The Hero's bloodline is that of powerful men and women who save the world from the grips of darkness. While every person descended from them carries their spirit, the most notable are the protagonists of the first and second games. These are The [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Scion of Erdrick]], The {{Prince of Midenhall}}, The [[Prince of Cannock]], and The [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. Their own adventures would shape the course of history for the betterment of the world and ensures that the name of [[Erdrick]] never leaves the heart of [[Alefgard]].

==Items Iconography==
As the Hero's legacy has grown in the distant time between the third and first game, several items and pieces of equipment that once belonged to The Hero have Erdrick in their names. See the ''[[Erdrick Equipment]]'' article for more details on the sword and armor set, along with the emblem.

Beyond the gear The Hero took into battle, they also left behind a tablet with a message written left for their descendant in {{Dragon Quest}}. It gives instructions on what items are needed to create the [[Rainbow Drop]], which is the location of [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]]. The tablet is found in a small cave that would be named [[Erdrick's Cave]] after their passing.

==Trivia==
*The manga series ''Gintama'' has a parody of ''Dragon Quest'' which stars [http://gintama.wikia.com/wiki/Leukocyte_King Leukocyte King], a character based on {{III}}'s Hero.
*As this is the first game in the mainline, numbered {{DQSeries}} to allow players to determine The Hero's gender, the female version of {{Dragon Quest III}}'s Hero is the first female main protagonist in that series.
*The Hero shares his voice actor in the audio drama with Android 16 from Akira Toriyama's ''Dragon Ball'' series. He also shares his voice with Marth from the ''Fire Emblem'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. [[Hikaru Midorikawa]] also voiced the character Derolin in the original {{The Adventure of Dai}} anime, a false hero who dresses almost identically to the male Hero a few years prior to the CD drama.
**In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he shares his voice actor, [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0387033/ Nobuyuki Hiyama], with Barry Kahn from ''Dragon Ball Super'' as well as the adult incarnation of Link from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' (and, by extension, Link's appearances in the first two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games). ''Super Smash Bros.'' series creator Masahiro Sakurai also noted that Hiyama's performance may be recognized as Guy Shishioh from ''The King of Braves GaoGaiGar'', and that his recording sessions for ''Ultimate'' as {{III}}'s Hero were surprisingly quick and easy, thanks to his extensive prior experience in video game voice-acting.
*The name Arusu (アルス) has appeared various times throughout the series history. It appeared as a default name for the Hero in official screenshots for the {{Super Famicom}} version of {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is also the name of the main character from ''[[Dragon Quest Saga: Emblem of Roto]]'' manga first released in 1991. Arusu has been the default name for the {{Hero 7}} of {{Dragon Quest VII}} in both the official manga adaptation and in various screenshots for the game. Lastly, in the CG movie {{Your Story}}, {{Parry}} was named Alus.
*The Hero of {{Dragon Quest III}} is one of the few heroes in the mainline games to speak. If the Hero is the second character in the party order when entering [[Gaia's Navel]], they will briefly be able to be spoken to and will recite the same dialog as any other {{Party 3}} member.

Warrior

Pokélink12 — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 02:01:59 GMT

Pokélink12: /* Abilities */

[[Image:Warrior3male.png|right|border|280px]][[Image:Warrior3female.png|right|border|260px]]
:''A master of weapon-based combat, able to learn a variety of cutting-edge sword techniques.''
::''--Description of the Warrior from'' {{Dragon Quest VII}} ''({{3DS}})''

The {{translation|'''Warrior'''|戦士|Senshi|lit. Soldier}} is a recurring character vocation in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{DQ3}}. Warriors typically have high HP, Strength, and Resilience, but low Agility, and also possess no magical capability whatsoever.

==Characteristics==
Warriors specialize in armed combat in battle, being capable of wielding the strongest weapons and wearing the heaviest armor, 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.

The female Warrior has been the victim of censorship in the 21st century due to the increasingly strict regulations of the [https://www.cero.gr.jp/en/ Japanese CERO ratings board]. This practice began in 2012 with the release of {{DQM3D}} where she wore a black top and matching spats under her armour, with black chosen in an attempt to match her male counterpart, and this design was carried forward into 2015 with {{DQStars}} and into 2022 with the statue depicting her in {{DQTreasures}}. Her design was altered again in 2024 with the HD-2D release of ''III'', where the black cloth was switched with a light beige to render the changes all but invisible on her sprite. Similar censorship was applied to the summon spirit [[Kamashki]] in {{DQ10}} and to [[Maya Mahabala]] in the 2023 release of {{DQM3}}.

Series creator [[Yuji Horii]] expressed his frustrations with the harsh restrictions of the CERO age ratings in a September 28, 2024 interview with video game news outlet Denfamico. Long-time series collaborator [[Kazuhiko Torishima]] was also present for the interview, who expressed his scorn for the forced compliance with overseas media regulations on top of CERO's influence. The interview is hosted on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvdqTo3V6no Denfamico's youtube channel], being the first segment.

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]].

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''

====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|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 evolution, 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.

==={{DQ9}}===
[[Image:WarriorMaleDQIX.jpg|right|border|195px]][[Image:WarriorFemaleDQIX.jpg|right|border|195px]]
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.

:''A master of weapon-based combat, able to learn a variety of cutting-edge sword techniques.''
::''--Description of the Warrior from'' {{Dragon Quest VII}} ''({{3DS}})''

The {{translation|'''Warrior'''|戦士|Senshi|lit. Soldier}} is a recurring character vocation in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{DQ3}}. Warriors typically have high HP, Strength, and Resilience, but low Agility, and also possess no magical capability whatsoever.

==Characteristics==
Warriors specialize in armed combat in battle, being capable of wielding the strongest weapons and wearing the heaviest armor, 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.

The female Warrior has been the victim of censorship in the 21st century due to the increasingly strict regulations of the [https://www.cero.gr.jp/en/ Japanese CERO ratings board]. This practice began in 2012 with the release of {{DQM3D}} where she wore a black top and matching spats under her armour, with black chosen in an attempt to match her male counterpart, and this design was carried forward into 2015 with {{DQStars}} and into 2022 with the statue depicting her in {{DQTreasures}}. Her design was altered again in 2024 with the HD-2D release of ''III'', where the black cloth was switched with a light beige to render the changes all but invisible on her sprite. Similar censorship was applied to the summon spirit [[Kamashki]] in {{DQ10}} and to [[Maya Mahabala]] in the 2023 release of {{DQM3}}.

Series creator [[Yuji Horii]] expressed his frustrations with the harsh restrictions of the CERO age ratings in a September 28, 2024 interview with video game news outlet Denfamico. Long-time series collaborator [[Kazuhiko Torishima]] was also present for the interview, who expressed his scorn for the forced compliance with overseas media regulations on top of CERO's influence. The interview is hosted on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvdqTo3V6no Denfamico's youtube channel], being the first segment.

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]].

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''

====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|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 evolution, 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.

==={{DQ9}}===
[[Image:WarriorMaleDQIX.jpg|right|border|195px]][[Image:WarriorFemaleDQIX.jpg|right|border|195px]]
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.

Martial Artist

Pokélink12: /* Equipment */

<center>''A fighter well versed in hand-to-hand techniques that turn hands and feet into lethal weapons.''
--Description from {{Dragon Quest VII}}</center>

The '''Martial Artist''' (武闘家, ''Butouka'') is a class in the {{DQSeries}}. Practitioners of the way of the fist possess high {{Agility}}, {{Resilience}}, and {{Strength}}, but zilch for magical capability.

==Characteristics==
Martial artists have a great amount of {{Agility}} and {{Strength}}, as befitting a life dedicated to physical fitness. They can deal devastating amounts of damage from a single strike, but their equipment pool is much more limited than that of a [[Warrior]]'s. For example, if equipped with any weapon other than a claw in {{III}} a Martial Artist's abilities will actually decrease as his or her {{Attack}} power will lower considerably. Compared to other vocations, Martial Artists have a very limited armor selection, particularly when it comes to shields and headwear. This can be a boon to the party's finances as unlike Warriors, it is not necessary to continuously upgrade the Martial Artist's equipment. Most of their armour consists of lightweight vests and other clothing designed for ease of movement, as heavier armour would interfere with their mobility and hamper their fighting style.

A pugilist has a higher chance of scoring a [[Critical Hit|critical hit]] on an enemy than other vocations, with their ratio being dependent on their level instead of staying at the standard fixed {{fraction|1|64}} chance that is common throughout the series. In all versions of {{III}} the formula is '''LvL/256''', capping once the martial artist reaches level 64 (25%). For {{VI}} and {{VII}} the formula is dependent on the character's rank in the vocation, capping at {{fraction|1|8}} when the vocation is mastered. Critical hits utilize a character's [[Deftness]] in {{IX}} and subsequent titles, with Martial Artists receiving no special treatment other than a high aptitude for the stat.

====Usefulness====
The M.A.'s skill Wind Sickles is worth learning as it grows in strength the higher the level. In terms of development, the M.A. is required in order to become a [[Gladiator]] and [[Paladin]]. The great thing about Martial Artists is that these two classes combine to make a [[Champion|Godhand]]. The Godhand is worth investing some time and battles in getting if the player is looking to go to the []bonus dungeon]]s.

The M.A.'s hybrid skills are not very exciting except for Jock Dance. However, Roundhouse does the same thing and it doesn't require changing into a [[Dancer]] to do so.

==={{DQ9}}===
[[File:DQIX Martial Artist Male.png‎|right|border|185px]][[File:DQIX Martial Artist Female.png‎|right|border|190px]]
The Martial Artist vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skill set "Focus". Martial Artists can also use skill points to learn {{Fan}}s, {{Staves}}, {{Claw}}s, and {{Fisticuff}} skills, having expanded their selection of weapons considerably from the days of ''III''. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is [[Roaring Tirade]], which terrorizes all enemies and raises [[tension]] by one level.
As mentioned above, a Martial Artist is no more likely to land a [[Critical Hit]] than a character with the same {{Deftness}} stat.
