Heal is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series. As its name suggests, it functions to restore the Hit Points of the character it is used on. As the seminal spell of the franchise, Heal is almost always the first spell learned by the Hero/Heroine in their adventure. It is related to the more powerful spells Midheal, Moreheal, Multiheal, Fullheal, and Omniheal.

Heal and its variations are commonly learned by Priests and the game's Hero.

Certain monsters (e.g. a Healslime) can also know this spell, with more powerful palette swaps knowing improved versions of the spell.

Appearances

Dragon Quest

Heal is learned by Hero at Level 3. In the original version it will restore 10~17 HP for 4 MP, and 25~30 for 3 MP in the remakes.

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line

The Prince of Cannock knows the spell upon being recruited. It restores 23~42 hit points in the original, and 25~30 in the remakes. Both versions cost 3 MP.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

Heal restores 30~40 HP for 3 MP, and is learned by the following characters:

Name Level
Hero 4
Priest 2
Sage 2

Heal is automatically learned by one who is a Priest from the beginning, but those who become a Priest or Sage in the Alltrades Abbey need to advance one level to learn it. In the mobile port, this is changed so that anyone who becomes a Priest or Sage automatically knows the spell at level 1.

The Hero can learn it much sooner for use in battle in the NES Version if a glitch is exploited in Ruida's Tavern where too many companions are registered, though it will prevent The Hero from being able to learn it for use on the world map.

The spell can cause damage to Zoma after the Sphere of Light is used on him.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

The basic heal spell is known by Kiryl and Meena at level 1. Healie and Laurel also know the spell. It costs 2 MP to cast and Heals 30~40 HP (unless it heals the target completely) to party members.

Dragon Quest X

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

The Hero learns Heal at level 5, and Serena will join the party having already mastered the spell. It costs 3 MP to cast, has a base range of 25~35, and a maximum range of 35~45.

Dragon Quest Monsters

Heal restores around 30~40 HP to a single ally for 3 MP. It can be learned naturally by many monsters, including BigEye, DeadNite, Eyeder, Gremlin, Healer, KingSlime, Mudron, and RogueNite as long as they have 7 maximum MP and 6 INT. Heal will automatically upgrade to HealMore and eventually HealAll as the monster levels up and their attributes increase.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2

Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Heal restores around 30 HP to a single ally for 2 MP. It can be learned from various skillsets, which includes Aquapothecary, Cleanser, Cure-all, Defender, Fortifier, Green Finger, Hawkhart III, Healer, Priest, Slimer, and Speedster.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below

Heal cannot be learned by any of the playable characters, but Healix will occasionally cast Heal on a random party member if their HP is low. If a character is equipped with one of the Slime weapons and/or Slime earrings, they have a higher chance of being healed randomly by Healix. As the story progresses, Healix is also able to cast stronger healing spells on his friends.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Hero can cast Heal through his Command Selection ability. It costs 7 MP and will reduce his damage percentage by 11% when cast, but using it more than three times will prevent it from appearing in Command Selection again until the player scores a K.O.
