Dragon Quest Heroes 2 Characters Guide

In our Dragon Quest Heroes 2 Characters Guide, we have detailed everything you need to know about unlocking and playing all the available characters in the game.

Dragon Quest Heroes 2 Characters

Lazarel
You can either choose Lazarel at the start or after the audience at Zebion. Since Lazarel is one of the most flexible characters in the game, try to select global skills instead of restraining him to a single role.

Teresa
You can either choose Teresa at the start or after the audience at Zebion. Like Lazarel, I would avoid restricting her to a single role and select global skills to take advantage of her flexibility in the game.

Desdemona
Desdemona in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will automatically join you after you reach Zebion. A little slow on the Attack Speed side, Desdemona is an incredible pusher so try to take advantage of this.

Torneko
Torneko in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will automatically join you after you reach Zebion. This traveling merchant not only has a range of weapons at his disposal, he also has healing skills, debuff removal, and untargetability.

Maribel
Maribel in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will join you during the Battle of Gyaird quest titled “What! What’s Up!” She not only spells and some long-range attacks from her boomerang but can also lower enemies’ defense and make them flinch.

Ruff
Ruff in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will join you during the Battle of Gyaird quest titled “What! What’s Up!” He has self-sustain, powerful CC, and call his wolves to deal a massive amount of damage to enemies.

Cesar
Cesar in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will join you during the Battle of Gyaird quest titled “What! What’s Up!” This character can imbue his weapon with different elemental-attacks in additional to a ton of spells and many CC skills.

Terry
You need to complete Terry & Carver boss fight in the Magical Forest to acquire both of them. Terry is arguably one of the best Dragon Quest Heroes 2 characters when it comes to dishing out raw damage. He has self-sustain skills and devastating attacks.

Carver
You need to complete Terry & Carver boss fight in the Magical Forest to acquire both of them. Similar to Terry, Carver has self-sustain and can boost his Attack/Defense to take on the toughest of the foes in the game.

Meena
Meena in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will automatically join you after “Saber in the Truth” quest. She is a weak healer but makes up for it by being a capable character with status ailments. Her spells allow her to lower enemies’ defense and deal increased damage to them.

Maya
You can acquire Maya after clearing the Cretia Dungeon along with Meena. When it comes to Maya, you need someone tanky to peel for her. She has a ton of spells but goes down easily due to lack of self-sustain.

Jessica
Jessica in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will automatically join you at the Sacred Mountain Regen. She not only has powerful CC from Crack, Spark Shot, and Decelerate but also brings healing the ability to reflect enemy spells.

Angelo
Angelo in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will automatically join you at the Sacred Mountain Regen. He is primarily a long-range character who can temporarily increase his Attack Damage and party’s tension.

Alena
Alena in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 will automatically join you at the Great Canyon Battle. Reasons due to which you need to consider Alena is her high Critical Hit chances, the ability to increase party’s tension, CC, and high Attack Damage.

Kiryl
You need to complete the Grand Canyon Battle quest titled “Rescue the Queen!” to acquire him. Kiryl in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is a perfect support. Healing spells, the ability to revive, CC, and boosts – this character has it all!
