"So, what do we do?"

—Aurora

"Fear not---I have devised a winning strategy!
We begin by falling back, thereby lulling the enemy into a false sense of security---"

—Luceus

"'Ugh. On second thought, forget it."

—Aurora

Luceus (Akuto in Japanese), along with Aurora, is one of two main characters in Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below. He is the Captain of the Royal Guard of Arba.

Description[edit]

Luceus, a steadfast captain in King Doric's service, prides himself on his carefully laid out strategies and tactical battle maneuvers. His commitment to a systematic approach to combat is such that even his own allies tire of his incessant need to lay out a battle plan. He grew up in Arba with Aurora and Healix.

Luceus is a talented tactician with a flair for fast-paced fire attacks. His impressive speed and remarkable reach make him an asset in any battle. His Inferno Slash attack unleashes a searing cyclone that swallows up whole swathes of foes. Aim it at large groups of enemies!
