Dragon Quest XI Tips & Tricks For Beginners
Focus Each Character on a Specific Weapon
While everyone does gain the same amount of experience, each character has a ton of unique skills to unlock, most of which are based around specific weapons. While you’re free to sink your points in whatever you want, it’s generally a better idea to focus each character in on a specific weapon and give them a specific role until later in the game. You won’t get enough skill points to unlock everything until very late, so in order to expedite getting strong skills you can focus on one weapon and power that one up.
For example, if you want Serena to have strong healing capabilities, focus her on wands and shields, as there are a ton of skills in her wands category that boost her magical mending. The same can be said for Rab and Heavy Staves. For the hero, if you want him to have high defense focus on swords and shields, whereas if you want him to have high attack focus on greatswords. Each character has different areas they can specialize in, some gaining attacks that can hit groups of enemies versus single enemies, like Erik’s boomerangs versus knives.
