How To Build The Perfect Party In Dragon Quest 3 Remake

In this lineup, the Hero is going to be the only one capable of providing a meaningful amount of healing to the other characters, short of using items to do so. This means the Hero will forego doing much damage, but the other characters in the lineup will make up for it.

The Martial Artist is capable of some of the highest damage in the game once you get through the difficult early stages with them. They have extremely high critical hit chances, and getting critical hits in Dragon Quest 3 Remake is going to make a tremendous difference to your damage output.

Similarly, the Mage is capable of dealing a considerable amount of damage, in a very different way. They have a wide variety of offensive spells at their disposal, and once you’re familiar with enemy monsters’ weaknesses, you’ll be able to exploit them for some easy heavy damage.

The Warrior is not necessarily an offensive-minded character. That being said, they’re capable of some of the best single-target regular attacks in the game, and when it’s necessary, can protect the squishier Martial Artist and Mage.

The Hero’s job in this lineup is going to be very much the same as the last lineup, but just a little bit more difficult. Previously, the Warrior would be the one capable of tanking the damage, and in this lineup, their healing is going to need to be a bit more dispersed.

Because the Monster Wrangler adds new damage possibilities, the Martial Artist in this lineup just needs to focus on dealing a tremendous amount of single-target damage.

The Monster Wrangler is going to be able to do all the multi-target damage that this lineup needs, with abilities like Boulder Toss, Monster Pile-On, and Flame Breath. They can also contribute a bit of healing if the Hero needs help in that regard.

The Mage can adapt their spellcasting to fit the situation here. Not only in terms of hitting the opponents’ weakness but in dealing multi-target or single-target damage as needed, a versatility the Mage is strong in.

In this lineup, the Hero has more freedom to deal damage than they do in the offensive-minded lineups. The Hero has a lot of weapon options in that regard, but boomerangs are capable of spreading great damage across the entire enemy lineup and are a fantastic choice.

The Warrior and Monster Wrangler will be working opposite each other in this lineup. If needed for support, the Warrior can cast Forbearance or Whipping Boy to tank damage for the party. If not, the Warrior can focus on dealing damage.

If support is needed but the Warrior is dealing damage, the Monster Wrangler can cast Soothing Song to heal the entire party a bit. If healing isn’t needed, the Monster Wrangler can go back to dealing damage.

The Priest in this lineup is going to be used for Support, whether that’s by healing or buffing an ally or by debuffing the enemy. The Snooze Stick is a great choice for the Priest, allowing them to cast a free Snooze by using it as an item any turn they’d like, preventing damage on the next turn, and saving that MP for when they need it.

The Hero in this lineup is going to be shifting back and forth from offense to defense as needed. On turns where extra healing isn’t necessary, the Hero can focus solely on damage.

As always, the Priest here is going to be very support-focused. The more healing the Priest provides, the more damage the Hero can focus on dealing.

The Martial Artist will be entirely damage-focused in this build, with their usual strength of dealing single-target damage. They can be the executioner of the group, while the Mage does their own damage job.

The Mage’s job here is going to focus primarily on multi-target damage. The more they can soften up groups of enemies, the easier time the Martial Artist will have in finishing them off. Without the inclusion of a Warrior to tank damage, the faster the Mage and Martial Artist can finish the enemy, the more successful this lineup will be.

On turns when one party member is down a considerable amount of health, the Hero is going to need to focus on healing. On turns when that isn’t the case, they can focus on damage.

The Warrior in this lineup should usually be focused on tanking. The more the Warrior can tank the damage, the easier time the Hero is going to have directing their heals into one spot. It’ll give the Hero more chances to deal damage, and keep the other two healthy.

On turns where there needs to be a little healing upkeep but nobody is too worse for wear, the Monster Wrangler can take that turn to cast Soothing Song, healing everybody a small amount, while the other characters attack.

The Martial Artist has, as always, a singular focus. They are the only character in this lineup whose sole job is to deal damage, and it’s going to be important for them to do so, particularly on turns where other characters need to provide some support instead of dealing damage of their own.
