Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation/Pillar of Pegasus

Recruiting Lizzie


Dragon Quest VI is designed in a way that's heavily biased toward melee fighters. Many of the best skills cost little to no MP, spells like Midheal and Zap can be cast via items, everyone can take whatever vocations they want, your spellcasters learn very few of their spells naturally, and most importantly, your melee fighters have much higher HP. And while these disadvantages aren't noticeable at the beginning, this is the point in the game where spellcasters really start to suffer. This is the point where high durability do the best job at surviving boss fights.

So put Terry in your party, Zoom to Arkbolt, and recruit Lizzie. She will generally be your very first character with a Tier 3 job class, and it's a doozy. 30% HP and 20% Resilience on top of 240 HP, 130 Resilience, and natural resistances to Frizz, Sizz, Crack, Bang, Woosh, and Fire make Lizzie an extremely capable capable meatshield; and that's without adding equipment into the mix.
