Spear Weapon Family
Spears are a recurring type of weapon, appearing in every installment of the Dragon Quest franchise from the second game onwards. This weapon was originally used by Priests, but has since become a staple armament of Paladins and Warriors repertoire.
Beginning with the ninth entry in the series, spears will always deal an additional 10% damage to members of the Beast family of monsters, regardless of other factors.
