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. | Warriors specialize in armed combat in battle, being capable of wielding the strongest weapons and wearing the heaviest armor, shields, and helmets available.

This began with 2012's {{DQM3D}} where she wore a black top and matching spats under her armour, and which 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. Other characters whose outfits have been updated include the summon spirit [[Kamashki]] in {{DQ10}} and [[Maya Mahabala]] in the 2023 release of {{DQM3}}. | ||
Series creator [[Yuji Horii]] | Series creator [[Yuji Horii]] cited the new restrictions of the CERO age ratings as a reason for these outfit changes in a September 28, 2024 interview with video game news outlet Denfamico. Long-time series collaborator [[Kazuhiko Torishima]] was also present for the interview, and added that compliance with overseas media regulations is another influence on these changes. The interview was removed from Denfamico's youtube channel, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP_tD58w6io but the video has since been re-uploaded on independent channels]. | ||
