Hero (SSBU): Difference between revisions

The default Hero is the '''Luminary'''{{ref|a}} from ''Dragon Quest XI'', while '''Erdrick'''{{ref|b}} from ''Dragon Quest III'', '''Solo''' from ''Dragon Quest IV'' and '''Eight''' from ''Dragon Quest VIII'' also appear as [[Alternate costume (SSBU)|alternate costume characters]] like the [[Koopalings]] and [[Alph]]. Unlike the Koopalings and Alph, however, they are all listed simply as "Hero". Hero was released as part of Challenger Pack 2 on July 30th, 2019 and is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #72]].

Hero is ranked 44th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the B- tier. Hero is one of the most unique characters in the game, boasting the single most amount of moves on a single character thanks to his down special in [[Command Selection]] and variances of the rest of his special moves. Hero has amazing strengths in having a lot of disjointed range in his aerials, such as forward air, neutral air, and back air. He also has good ground speed and drift to aid his mobility. In addition, his smash attacks are notorious as they have a 1 in 8 chance to critical hit, with devastating KO power and damage. Hero's special moves are arguably his biggest asset. His side special, [[Zap]], most notably its 2nd form in Zapple, is a solid long-range poking tool to attack opponents at bay. His down special Command Selection gives him an extensive and dynamic amount of options, with some spells ranging from buffing his normals or speed (Oomph, Psyche Up, Acceleratle), an active reflector (Bounce), the easiest recovery back to the stage (Zoom), powerful KO tools (Hatchet Man, Flame Slash, Kaboom, etc), or [[instant KO]] moves that have a chance to KO extremely early (Whack and Thwack). All in all, this makes Hero one of the scariest characters to fight if he has the right options for the right situations.
