Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Serena and Jade can both equip Spears. Spears are now two-handed weapons, requiring the wielder to forgo a shield; dual-wielding is also not possible. However, Spears share the "Parry" property with Greatswords, which allows the wielder to sometimes block an enemy attack. Spears are recommended for taking down beasts.
