Every summon in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, ranked

Key conclusions

• Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake introduces a new calling, the Monster Wrangler, adding variety to the class system.
• Godabout can turn into a sage, merchants increase cash flow, and thieves can steal rare items in battle.
• Sages and Heroes offer versatile skills like Kazing and Omniheal, making them valuable additions to any party.

Dragon Quest 3: Seed of Salvation was the first game in the series to offer players a class system through Vacations. Players stuck their main character with a hero calling, and then they could create three other party members based on eight other callings. Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake adds another vocation to the mix, Monster Wrangler, technically giving players ten vocations to work with.

It's an interesting system to experiment with Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake even though not all vocations are created equal. Let's break down and rank what Vocations players should try and master first to get the most out of their skills.

10 A journey

Prelude to an amazing class

Gadabout isn't a great calling, but it can turn into a better one. At level 20, this is the only calling that can naturally evolve into a sage Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake who can use both healing and offensive magic.

But it's not like Gadabouts are completely useless until then. They have a great ability called Whistle that can trigger a random fight without having to rely on walking to prompt you. In combat, Gadabouts aren't as effective compared to many others.

9 Merchant

Easy way to earn gold

• Best option: service call

Merchant is also not a strong offense and does not support Calling in combat. However, he does have some useful abilities and traits outside of battle that can help in adventures. For example, having a Merchant in the group will increase the cash flow.

It's hard to get money in the game, so players need every advantage they can get early on Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake to get good equipment like armor. Also, merchants have a feature called Service Call that can create a lot of emergency businesses like convenience stores, which is nice to have.

8 A thief

Steal from the best

• Best Ability: Shocking Slash

Thief is the first reliable vocation that players should learn. Like the others so far, he is not that strong in battle. However, there is a chance that the Thief can automatically steal an item from the enemy at the end of the battle.

Players can even get rare weapons early on Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake through this method, but it all depends on success. Aside from the stealth factor, thieves also have some useful offensive skills like Shocking Slash. It deals moderate damage, but has a good chance to stun enemies, including bosses.

7 Martial artist

Breaking through enemy lines

The martial artist excels in attack and speed, which is typical of the monk class in RPGs. It can hit hard and has a high chance of hitting enemies before they can act. Martial artists have quite a few skills in battle to attack groups of enemies.

There are also great skills like Multifists that can randomly hit targets in combat. On a boss, these hits are more accurate, and players may even get lucky and land more critical hits with the Warmaster.

6 Warrior

Classic RPG Archetype

• Best Ability: Metal Slash

A warrior is pretty close to martial arts in terms of power. What it lacks in speed is made up for in defense. Warriors have many useful skills that almost every party member should learn. For example, Metal Slash ensures that players can get hit by Metal Slime.

Metal Slimes are rare monsters that are hard to find and even harder to hit, but they bring tons of EXP Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. That's why any ability that can give players an advantage against Metal Slimes is great.

5 Monster Wrangler

A new class based on the main side quest

• Best Ability: Bonds of Love

Monster Wrangler is a new class Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and it's also part of a new side quest. Players can travel around the world and befriend monsters to use in this area. The more monsters players save, the stronger Monster Wrangler will become.

For example, the combat skill, Lashings of Love, will deal more damage with more monsters saved. If players stay on top of this side quest, they can have a killer calling in their party with these skills.

4 Priest

Appointed doctor

The priest is the designated healer of the group, but he's not that weak compared to other healers in RPGs. He has offensive elemental spells, so he can counter with magic like the Swoosh. It excels in healing and supports magic truth, though, as does Multiheal.

This spell will heal the entire party for a decent amount, while Fullheal will do the job completely, but only for one party member. The only thing that isn't cool about this Calling is the clothing, because it's too cliche.

3 Mag

Put the world to sleep with magic

A wizard is the complete opposite of a priest as he only deals with offensive magic. There are a number of powerful spells he can learn like Kaboom. This non-elemental spell can hit an entire army of enemies in battle, and sometimes even take them down with a single cast.

Mages don't have a lot of HP or defense, so they are vulnerable to enemy attacks. Wizards are usually glass cannons in RPGs, so this makes sense. However, with good gear on hand, players should be able to keep them alive.

2 Sage

The best of both worlds

The sage blends the spells of the priest and wizard into one incredible calling. Aside from the Gadabout route, players can also find the Words of Wisdom item to turn any class into a Sage. Regardless of how players do it, they won't regret their decision to evolve their current party to make room for the Sage.

It's convenient to have healing and offensive spells together, and the stats are better balanced as you level up. There are a lot of great spells out there for the Sage, but Kazing stands out the most as it can revive a party member on the spot.

1 Hero

Well balanced main character

Hero is the class assigned to the main character Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. Players cannot transfer this class to anyone else, nor can they transfer the main character to another class. This fact makes it limited, but even then, players still won't want to multiclass the main character.

The growth rate is high when leveling up, and like the Sage, players will get a well-balanced amount of healing and offensive spells. There are also many exclusives and the best one has to be Omniheal which can restore all HP for the whole party.
