· On Thursday, March 26th, a new special class will be released in Dragon Quest Walk.
· This is a new class after 1 year and 2 months since the Demon class on January 1, 2025.
· The silhouette revealed in Smart Walk has already generated high expectations, and the class change requirements are Battle Master and Superstar Level 70.
· Considering the heart composition of Battle Master (Red/Yellow) and Superstar (Blue/Green), it is expected to be a powerful class centered around Red and Blue.
· It is expected to be very useful due to its easy speed and firepower control.
· It is important to prepare in advance before the new special class is released to efficiently level up and get a quick start.

Category	Details
Release Date	March 26th (Thursday)
Class Change Requirements	Battle Master Lv.70 Superstar Lv.70
Expected Heart Composition	Red/Blue focused (Battle Master: Red/Yellow, Superstar: Blue/Green)
Expected Effects	Powerful performance, easy speed and firepower control

· This is an initial strategy to quickly level up the new special class starting from Level 1.
· Check each step and review your owned items to prepare for efficient leveling.

Step	Item/Method	Effect & Details
Step 1	Defeat Casino King Slime	Immediately pops up upon class change, grants 300,000 EXP (approx. 10+ levels) New Demon King expected with March 26th casino update, secure casino coins in advance
Step 2	Utilize Metal King Treasure Maps	Currently, use all 10 Metal King maps, including 'Tochigi Danchiyo's Legendary Map', for the new class. It's important to check your owned maps in advance and save them.
Step 3	Use Metal King Coins	Gain 3 million EXP per coin (max 10 coins = 30 million EXP) First pop-up is fast, but subsequent ones require defeating a certain number of enemies. Currently, it's possible to gain 3 million EXP per hour, so it's recommended to use all coins without saving them.

· It is efficient to use Metal Scent Pouches (Hagure Metal, Metal Hoimi) before farming treasure maps.
· It is recommended to save Dragon Metal Scent Pouches for events like fireworks.
· Aim for one-turn kill hunting by utilizing weapon skills capable of defeating Metal-type monsters.

Hunting Ground Option	Strategy & Recommended Weapon	Features
Chapter 1, Episode 1	Weapons for defeating Metal-type monsters with short skill animations (e.g., Sword of Thunder, Dark Sword of Beasts Metal Slash, Catastrophe Cross)	Fast combat rotation
Chapter 12, Episode 10 ~ Chapter 13, Episode 4 (or 10)	Sword of Thunder sub-skill 'Metal Let's'	One-turn kill hunting possible, semi-permanent hunting possible with MP recovery In the video, a Demon class at Level 30 with 400 cost setting demonstrates a one-turn kill with 3000 damage.
Treasure maps with terrain effects (e.g., Climate of Atata - Zap attribute)	Erdrick's Sword 'Gigagash' (utilizing area expansion)	Story monsters appear based on party's average level High chance of one-turn kill even at low levels due to terrain effects (e.g., 50% increase in Zap attribute attack power)

· Weapons with long skill animations take about 20 seconds per battle, which can reduce the efficiency of acquiring encyclopedia keys compared to faster skills that take 15-16 seconds.
· The optimal hunting ground and weapon choice may vary depending on the new class's main weapon.

· After consuming Metal-type items and reaching Level 40-45 (approx. 470 cost), begin farming using the 'Climate of Atata' treasure map.
· Aim for efficient one-turn kill hunting by configuring equipment and hearts specialized in Zap attribute attack power.

Category	Recommended Equipment & Settings
Main Weapon	Sword of Thunder (Main)
Inherited Weapon	Erdrick's Sword (utilizing area expansion)
Armor & Hearts	Zap attribute firepower specialization (adjusted to 470 cost for Level 40)
Companion Characters	Setia (unnecessary due to sure-hit effect), Grizzard's Soul, Erdrick's Sword (area expansion)
Accessories	Pearl of Adventure, Pearl of Golden Lamp (increased EXP/Gold gain) Miracle Earrings (recovery effect), etc., chosen based on available firepower

· By utilizing Erdrick's Sword's area expansion, stable one-turn kills are possible even at low levels.
· By using Gigaspark and Gigagash Legend, stable hunting with over 28,000 damage is possible even without critical hits.
· The new class may have slightly lower firepower than the Demon class, but stable hunting is expected to be possible.
· A point of caution is that using weapons with long skill animations can prolong battle times, potentially reducing the acquisition rate of encyclopedia keys.
· The optimal farming method may vary depending on the new class's main weapon (one-handed sword or spear), so additional information should be checked after release.

· If you complete all the preparations introduced, such as Casino King Slime, Metal King treasure maps, Metal King coins, Metal Scent Pouches, and Climate of Atata farming, you can start leveling up the new special class very smoothly after its release.
· In particular, users who possess both Metal King coins and Metal Scent Pouches can achieve a hyper-speed head start.
· We look forward to everyone enjoying and rapidly growing with the new special class, which is making its appearance after 1 year and 2 months.
