Today’s Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 update from Square Enix also brought along some new details. We now have information about the Scout Attack, skills, accessories, and monsters.

New details are as follows:

Scout Attack

– The silver-haired protagonist is on a journey to recover his memories
– Is a monster master
– Can trigger the “Scout Attacks” thanks to this
– Scout Attack: a skill in which his monster companions make use of his power to unleash a special attack at the opponent

– Gauge on the screen shows your scouting success rate
– Even at a small percentage, it’s possible to scout a monster
– New “Strategy” command in battle

– You can have two of the same monsters raised completely different from each other
