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's sword and shield will also change depending on the outfit, similarly to Cloud and Bayonetta, although this is purely aesthetic.

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.

Attributes

  • Hero's Shield can block incoming projectiles similarly to Link's shield by standing, crouching, or walking, though only for a short amount of time, as indicated by the shield darkening the longer it shields a projectile.

Smash Attacks

Hero's Smash attacks have a 12% chance to deal a critical hit, where they deal double damage and knockback, and trigger the Special Zoom and a unique sound effect. If shielded, the sound effect will still play to indicate the smash attack being a Critical Hit, though it only deals extra shield damage.

  • Side Smash: Performs a two-handed downward slash in front of him.
  • Up Smash: A single upward thrust. Unlike similar Up Smashes, it does not possess a horizontal hitbox, and therefore can only hit opponents directly above him.
  • Down Smash: A kneeling inward slash in front of himself followed by a kneeling outward slash behind himself.

Other attacks

Aerial Attacks

  • Neutral Aerial: Swings his sword around him.
  • Forward Aerial: Swings his sword in a downward arc in front of himself.
  • Back Aerial: Turns around and slashes upwards.
  • Up Aerial: Performs an upward kick.
  • Down Aerial: Thrusts his sword downward with one hand. Causes a relatively weak Meteor Smash if the sword thrust makes contact. It is impossible to double-jump until long after the sword strike happens.

  • Pummel: Knees the opponent.
  • Forward Throw: Tosses the opponent away.
