The Best Priest Spells In Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Ranked

As a seasoned RPG adventurer with countless hours spent in the mystical realms of fantasy, I must say that the Priest Vocation in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is truly a beacon of hope for any weary traveler. This class, much like a faithful healer tending to the wounds of a battle-scarred warrior, offers a unique blend of defense and offense, making it an indispensable ally in the quest for victory.

In the Dragon Quest series, priests are quite prevalent among the various character roles. They often take on the role of White Mages in Final Fantasy or simply function as healers in other Role Playing Games (RPGs). These characters have the ability to replenish Health Points (HP), cure ailments affecting the party’s status, and deal some damage as a bonus to aid their comrades.

In Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, they’re far from being defenseless when it comes to Priests. In fact, compared to Mages, they boast a higher defense stat but have lower wisdom levels, making them weaker in magical abilities. However, as they progress through the game, they will learn new spells at certain levels. Let’s explore which spells are most beneficial for their use.

7. Kamikazee

Sacrifice Your Life To Damage Enemies

  • Level: 33

In the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Kamikazee is a powerful yet risky move that should be used as a last resort. When activated, your character will self-destruct, but in retaliation, all nearby enemies will take significant damage or be destroyed. This move is reminiscent of bombs in Final Fantasy or Voltorbs in Pokemon. While it’s a potent asset to have, players might not often use it due to its destructive nature towards the user. To ensure safety during dungeon exploration, having a revival item or spell handy could bring back the Priest if they meet an unfortunate end.

6. Magic Barrier

Boost Party’s Defense

  • Level: 16

Priests shine particularly in preventative and defensive measures compared to other professions. A Magic Barrier, for instance, constructs a shield that safeguards the group from magical assaults within the game. With numerous later bosses like Baramos in the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, who heavily rely on magic, it becomes an opportune moment to activate Magic Barrier.

A beneficial clerical ability to consider for your party could be Acceleratle. It increases the party’s speed, potentially enabling them to take action before their opponents in a tactical sense.

5. Kasap

Lower Enemy’s Defense

  • Level: 16

In simpler terms, Kasap is an opposing skill to Magic Barrier and Acceleratle. It’s essentially a debuff attack that weakens a group of enemies’ defenses. Using this move can be beneficial if your party consists mostly of physical attackers such as the Warrior or Martial Artist. A reduced defense makes your party’s attacks more impactful. Another useful debuff is Fizzle, which prevents enemies from using magic. However, it’s more challenging to apply Fizzle compared to Kasap, making Kasap generally more effective throughout the Dragon Quest series.

4. Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

Wake Up The Party

  • Level: 10

Cock-a-Doodle-Doo is a healing spell that can wake up any party members affected by sleep. This is the only spell that can cure status ailments for the whole party. Every other example, while important, only works on a single party member. For example, Squelch can cure poison, Tingle gets rid of paralysis, Sheen removes a curse, and Defizzle allows party members to use magic again. These are all important spells in the Priest’s repertoire and come in handy when items are not enough in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

3. Kaswoosh

Attack A Group Of Enemies With Wind Magic

  • Level: 31

In the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Priests are primarily defensive magic users, but they possess a handful of spells that can harm adversaries. They harness the power of wind, an element even Mages find challenging to manipulate. The most potent manifestation of this wind power is the spell “Kaswoosh,” which summons a whirlwind of tornadoes to assault a row of enemies. Though Priests may not deal significant damage with it initially, players can enhance their Wisdom via accessories to boost its potency. Interestingly, if a Priest later specializes in Mage or Sage classes, the spell becomes even more powerful.

2. Multiheal

Restore HP For The Party

  • Level: 33

Multiheal is an effective spell to maintain the health of your party members. It typically restores about 70 Health Points, but this amount may vary based on the Priest’s Wisdom level. Tied for the top spot among healing spells is Fullheal, which can fully restore HP to any one member of the party, making both spells highly valuable in keeping your group healthy and strong.

In the remake of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D, the Hero Vocation boasts a more potent healing spell called Omniheal, which amalgamates two other healing spells into one. It’s peculiar that a Priest cannot master Omniheal, yet it adds an exciting twist to equip the main character with a robust healing ability.

1. Kazing

Resurrect An Ally

  • Level: 37

In the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, resuscitating party members is more challenging compared to other role-playing games such as Final Fantasy. While there are spells to bring back the deceased, they’re generally unreliable except for Kazing which guarantees a full recovery. An alternative method is to seek help from priests or nuns found at churches within towns. The Dragon Quest series is designed to make players earn their journey, and this includes resurrecting fallen comrades. It might be tough, but spells like Kazing do exist, albeit requiring significant leveling up of a Priest character before it can be utilized effectively.
