Dragon Quest XI: “Zone” and “Co-op skills” features revealed
It feels like we’re getting a new feature reveal for Dragon Quest XI pretty much every week, and this week is no exception. This week’s Jump magazine has revealed the new “Zone” feature, which, among other things, allows the use of powerful co-op skills (thanks Siliconera for the translation).
We’ve actually seen the “Zone” feature briefly before in some screenshots. When the protagonist glows with a blue aura during battle, that’s the sign on him activating Zone. Not only do his stats temporarily increase, it also allows you to use powerful co-op skills – techniques in which the hero and one or more party members combine their powers to unleash a powerful attack. Jump magazine list three examples of co-op skills:
- Falcon Dance: the hero and Camus dance around an enemy, repeatedly attacking it with swift sword strikes
- Rose Hurricane: the hero, Sylvia and Row combine their magic powers and Sylvia’s love to unleash a powerful whirlwind
- Giga Burst: all party members team up and gather their powers in the hero’s sword, who delivers a devastating strike
However, players aren’t the only ones who can use this power – some enemies are also able to use “Zone” and co-op skills.
