Summary
Moveset
Hero possesses four different variations as alternate costumes, specifically the Heroes from Dragon Quest XI (the Luminary, who serves as the default outfit), Dragon Quest III (Erdrick), Dragon Quest IV (Solo), and Dragon Quest VIII (Eight).

Hero possesses a mechanic known as the MP Gauge, located above his damage meter and having a maximum of 100 MP. By using a Special Move the MP Gauge depletes by the move's MP Cost, shown by the Command Menu and visualized by a portion of the bar being colored green (with the exception of Frizz, Zap, and Woosh). A Special Move cannot be activated if the MP Gauge does not have the sufficient amount of MP, and it will reset if Hero is KO'd. The MP Gauge refills over time, though it fills faster when landing attacks, with the amount of MP regained equalling 90% of the damage Hero deals.
