The Hero, often referred to as Reid, is your main protagonist and a well-rounded character with balanced stats. He excels in both physical combat and eventually gains access to powerful Hero-exclusive spells. His versatility makes him suitable for almost any job. Early on, focusing on Warrior or Martial Artist can boost his physical prowess. Later, combining these with Priest or Mage can create a formidable hybrid. Ultimately, his unique Hero job, unlocked after mastering several basic jobs, makes him an unstoppable force. Prioritize jobs that grant him high HP, Strength, and Agility to maximize his potential as a frontline attacker and occasional healer/caster.

Much like the Hero from Dragon Quest IV, Reid possesses a unique lineage that grants him exclusive access to the Zap-family of lightning spells.
While Reid’s versatility stems from his ability to master any vocation, this multifaceted approach to character building serves as a precursor to the flexible job system found in Dragon Quest X.
