Begin your Dragon Quest Heroes adventure! Learn about character choices like Luceus and Aurora, their unique attacks, and what to expect from the game's missions and content.
Hey there! Before you dive headfirst into the world of Dragon Quest Heroes, let's get you prepped. If you're on PC, you might want to check out some controller files online – this game is definitely a smoother ride with a controller rather than a mouse and keyboard. Trust me on this one!
Now, about the missions and side quests: most of them are pretty straightforward. You'll spend a lot of time clearing out enemies from an area. The real meat of the game comes from collecting all the extra items and tackling the post-game content. The main story missions usually make it pretty clear what you need to do, but if you ever get stuck, don't sweat it. Sometimes, you just need to level up your characters or their gear. For more specific strategies, you'll want to check out the reference lists later on. Also, since this game is packed with characters from all over the Dragon Quest universe, everyone has their favorites. I can't really tell you who to pick for every mission because it's all about your personal preference, but I'll give you my recommendation.
When you first start, you'll get to pick between two characters who play pretty much the same: Luceus, the guy in blue, and Aurora, the lady in red. Luceus is all about fiery attacks, while Aurora uses ice to freeze your enemies. Personally, I lean towards Aurora because being able to immobilize your foes is a super useful trick. I'll be writing this guide with Aurora in mind, but if you choose Luceus, just picture his fire attacks whenever I mention Aurora's ice moves at the beginning.
Luceus: Flaming Fencer
This guy's a talented tactician who loves dishing out fast-paced fire attacks. His impressive speed and reach make him a solid choice in any fight. His Inferno Slash attack is awesome for clearing out big groups of enemies – it creates a fiery cyclone that takes down swathes of foes!
Aurora: The Elegant Ice Queen
Aurora is a spirited soldier with a knack for fast-paced ice attacks. Just like Luceus, she's got great speed and reach, making her a valuable asset. Her signature move, Cold Fission, unleashes a freezing whirlwind that can take out tons of enemies at once. Definitely aim it at those big crowds!
