[[File:AllFourHeroes.png|thumb|right|The Hero's four alternate costumes.]]
The '''Hero''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is a playable character and the main representative of the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series, being the third DLC character and the second to be part of the Fighters Pass. He was announced alongside fellow DLC newcomers Banjo & Kazooie at E3 2019, and will be released on July 31st, 2019, where he will be available for individual purchase for $5.99 USD, or downloaded automatically with the purchase of the Fighters Pass.

==Attributes==
* Despite the name referring to a single hero, the Hero actually consists of multiple characters, with the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|XI's Hero]] being the default, and [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|III's Hero]], [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV's Hero]], and [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII's Hero]] as alternate costumes.
* He has a shield that can block projectiles, much like the Links.
* His unique Fighter Ability is an MP Gauge that drains each time a special attack is used, with the max amount of MP being 100.

==Moveset==
* A three-hit neutral attack, with the first two hits being slashes going straight up and straight down and the final hit having him swipe his sword inward.
* A jumping slash attack similar to Link's. This is presumably his dash attack.
* A two-hit attack, a shield bash followed up by an outward slash. This is presumably his forward tilt.
* An attack where he performs a two-handed downward slash in front of him, resembling Ike and Ganondorf's forward smashes. This is presumably his forward smash.
* A single, strong upward arc slash. This is presumably his up tilt.
* A single upward thrust, which resembles Marth's up smash. This is presumably his up smash.
* An aerial attack where he swings his sword around him, resembling Ike's neutral aerial.
* An aerial attack that is a sword swipe behind his back, which resembles Marth's back aerial. This move completely turns around the Hero in midair after use, much like Marth's back aerial.
* An attack where he performs an upward kick, presumably his up throw or up aerial. Somewhat resembles Snake's forward aerial.
* At least one of his special moves has the Hero choose between a variety of spells from a menu, even standing in a "thinking" position.
* In conjunction with his new MP Gauge, the Hero has a plethora of magical attacks:
** [[Sizzle]], a fireball that is presumably chargeable. Costs 20 MP.
** An unnamed electric bolt that the Hero shoots from his sword. Possibly related to [[Zap]].
** A second unnamed electric attack that the Hero sends out as a projectile. Possibly related to [[Kazap]].
** An unnamed attack possibly related to [[Oomph]] (which costs 18 MP) where the Hero's smash attacks become extremely powerful, triggering a Special Zoom.
** [[Snooze]], which is a projectile that sends opponents to sleep if it connects. Costs 16 MP.
** [[Bounce]], which reflects projectiles. The move lingers for a little while.
** [[Kacrackle Slash]], which is a physical slash that freezes opponents.
** [[Kaclang]], which encases the Hero in metal and prevents him from taking knockback. It is unknown how damage will be affected, but it is presumably nullified as well.
** [[Zoom]], which allows the Hero to fly up vertically.
** An unnamed attack that creates tornadoes beneath the Hero. Possibly related to [[Woosh]].
** [[Kamikazee]], which has the Hero self-destruct, doing massive knockback to nearby opponents.
** [[Psyche Up]], a move seen in the selection menu. The effect is unknown. Costs 17 MP.
* The Final Smash appears to contain the other seven Dragon Quest heroes who are not playable, charging the Hero's sword with bolts of electricity for what is presumably [[Gigaslash]].

==Taunts==
* The Hero raises his sword into the air.
* A [[Slime]] appears at the Hero's feet and hops, causing the Hero to lose his balance.

==Trivia==
* The Hero's tagline references the message shown when encountering a monster in many ''Dragon Quest'' games.
* In the alternate costume for IV's Hero, his Slime earring turns [[Metal Slime|metal]].
* Prior to patch 2.0.0 of ''Ultimate'', there existed hidden data for future downloadable characters nicknamed "packun", "jack", and "brave"; "packun" referred to [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Piranha_Plant_(SSBU) Piranha Plant], and "jack" referred to [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Joker_(SSBU) Joker], though, at the time, it was unclear as to who "brave" was referring to, though a ''Dragon Quest'' character was heavily speculated to be filling the slot. Hero's Japanese name eventually confirmed this, as {{Translation|勇者|Yūsha}} can be literally translated into English as "brave".
* The Hero is one of three characters to change weapons in his alternate costumes, with the other two being Cloud and Bayonetta.
** XI's Hero wields the Supreme Sword of Light and Erdwin’s Shield.
** III's Hero wields the Sword of Kings and Shield of Heroes.
** IV's Hero wields the Zenithian Sword and Shield.
** VIII's Hero wields the Dragovian King Sword and Dragovian shield.
