The second set of DLC characters for finally brings the Dragon Quest franchise to the fighting game, adding the hero from Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Here’s how to play hero (Moves, Strengths, Weaknesses, Strategies) in Smash Bros Ultimate.Of course, one of the character’s coolest features is that his alternate colors are actually heroes from past Dragon Quest games, but with a complex new character, you’re probably wanting a bit of help learning how to play him. How to Play Hero (Moves, Strengths, Weaknesses, Strategies) in Smash Bros Ultimate Attacks and Special MovesHero is yet another sword fighter in Smash Bros Ultimate, but his special moves really separate him from the rest of the roster.
All of his special moves are themed around an MP gauge, with each one taking a bit of that gauge away.Before we get to special moves, however, let’s talk about Hero’s basic attacks. The Hero’s smash attacks have a 1/8 chance to cause a critical hit, again referencing the turn-based combat of the series. This means that you should be focusing on using smash attacks, as they can cause the maximum damage.All of Hero’s basic attacks have a good amount of range behind them, so he’s a good character to play at medium range. Now let’s dive into special moves.Neutral Special – Frizz/Frizzle/Kafrizzle – Charges up a long-range fireball that shoots straight ahead.
There are three levels of charge and, like Samus’ energy ball, you can stop and start charging it. Damage is 9%, 18%, and 31% accordingly.Up Special – Woosh/Swoosh/Kaswoosh – Creates a whirlwind underneath the hero that launches him upward, can be charged twice for greater effect. The whirlwind will also shoot away enemies that hit it.Side Special – Zap/Zapple/Kazap – Shoots an electric bolt from the Hero’s sword, and can also be charged twice. The third charge, Kazap, has super armor and can’t be interrupted, having the hero hit enemies with a bolt and then swing his sword in both directions around him.Down Special – Command Selection – Brings up a JRPG-style menu with commands to choose from. Each command has a different effect/attack, and there are a ton of options that will be selected from randomly. If you cancel out of the menu and use it again, the command list will reload with new options.
Below you can find the whole list. Ooomph – Temporarily boosts the Hero’s attack power, but slightly reduces his defense. Snooze – Sends a projectile forward that puts enemies to sleep. Can even be used against aerial enemies. Bounce – Gives the Hero a barrier that reflects projectiles.
Flame Slash – A forward slash with a flame effect. Kackracle Slash – A forward slash that can freeze enemies. Kaclang – Covers the hero in metal and locks him in place unable to move. However, during this time he won’t take any damage or be knocked back. Zoom – The Hero flies up from anywhere on the stage and is able to land on the stage again.
