Hero is a branch of the Explorer Warrior class. Upon reaching Level 30, an Explorer Warrior can become a Hero by choosing to become a Fighter after completing the 2nd Job Advancement at Level 30. Their second job is Fighter, their third job is Crusader, and their fourth job is Hero.

Class Specifics

The Hero job branch can choose to wield a Sword (One-Handed / Two-Handed) or an Axe (One-Handed / Two-Handed). Their job specialty skill is Combo Attack, which grants Combo orbs when attacking enemies that increase the player's damage, and can be consumed to utilize special attacks that debuff enemies. Hero can also cast Enrage, which increases the damage of their main attacks while reducing the number of enemies hit.

Job Advancements

1st Job Advancement

When the player reaches Level 10 as a Beginner, aspiring Warriors will be sent to the Warriors' Sanctuary in Perion to talk to Dances with Balrog, who will advance the player to a Swordman. The player will be given an HP and MP boost, as well as a basic warrior weapon.

2nd Job Advancement

After saving Maple Island with the help of a Mysterious Voice, the player will reach Level 30 and talk to Athena Pierce, who will send the player back to the Warriors' Sanctuary to talk with Dances with Balrog. He will allow the player to choose to advance to either a Fighter, Page, or Spearman; a player that desires to become a Hero will want to advance to a Fighter. After talking with Dances with Balrog again, he will then advance the player from a Swordman to a Fighter.

3rd Job Advancement

At Level 60, the player will receive a lightbulb above their head. Talk to Camila in Henesys, who will then send the player to Six Path Crossway, where Rondo will be. After knocking his hat off, go to the bottom of the Six Path Crossway and grab the Old Wisconsin hat. Return to Rondo, and use the Interdimensional Portal to travel to Pantheon and talk to Cartalion. Rondo will inquire about finding other Anima like him, and Cartalion will warn not to travel past Pantheon's borders due to the Specter Invasion, sending the player and Rondo to the East Pantheon Border. After defeating 50 Specters, Rondo will give up and thank the player for trying to help.

After talking to Rondo, the player will be given words of encouragement from the Mysterious Voice, granting a new kind of power. The player will be prompted to return to Dances with Balrog once again, who will teleport the player to the Chief's Residence in El Nath to speak with Tylus. He will then advance the player from a Fighter to a Crusader.

4th Job Advancement

At Level 100, the player will receive a lightbulb on the side from Athena Pierce, asking the Explorers to check on the various towns in Victoria Island. The player first plans to go to Perion and Ellinia, but Tess offers to travel there in exchange for the player traveling to the Nautilus. The player talks to Kyrin, who mentions meeting Tess and finding him suspiciously more advanced than other Explorers, while also feeling a strange cloudy energy from him that weakened her.

The player confronts Tess, who reveals that he's secretly Kyrin's older brother. He explains that centuries ago, his father Destonen encountered a follower of the Black Mage named Kirston, who placed a curse on his family's bloodline that would only disappear when the Black Mage was killed. After Destonen explained the curse to Athena Pierce and Tess, he died shortly after and the curse passed on to Tess and Kyrin, causing them to both become weak whenever they were in close proximity. Tess, realizing the danger, decided to leave Ellin Forest and not formally introduce himself to Kyrin until Black Mage was defeated.

After talking to Tess, the player will be given more words of encouragement from the Mysterious Voice, granting a new kind of power. The player will be prompted to return to Tylus once again, who will teleport the player to the Forest of the Priest in Leafre to speak with Harmonia. She will then advance the player from a Crusader to a Hero.
