They all use a sword and shield, similar to [[Link]], [[Young Link]] and [[Toon Link]], and have access to magical abilities from their series, such as [[dragonquest:Sizzle|Sizzle]]. Many of their basic attacks use sword jabs and swings, with their shield able to block projectile attacks. Their magical attacks are limited by their MP gauge (which fills up over time or attack to fills its). [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]] also appear alongside them during taunts. With the notable exception of Command Selection, Hero's  special moves switches between three types magical attacks depending on the charge level (in a similar vein to Robin's [[Robin#Thunder|Thunder]]). Hero's down special move, Command Selection is instead choosing variety of four randomly-selected spells from a pop-up menu similar to the one from the original game. Regarding weight, Hero is one of the lighter heavyweights, being lighter than [[Mega Man]] but heavier than [[Mii Swordfighter]] and [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]].
