Spears are a recurring type of weapon, appearing in every installment of the Dragon Quest franchise from the second game onwards. This weapon was originally used by Priests, but has since become a staple armament of Paladins and Warriors repertoire.

Beginning with the ninth entry in the series, spears will always deal an additional 10% damage to members of the beast family of monsters, regardless of other factors.

Spears can be equipped by Merchants and Monster Wranglers, matching the official artwork in the former's case. Warriors can also equip spears, and Priests can equip most jabbers.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Spears skills are exclusive to the Hero, and focus on multi-striking moves. The Thunder Thrust skill makes penetrating the defences of metal slimes much easier.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Spear skills function similarly to how they did in VIII, but now are more specialized to be effective against Beast-class monsters.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Serena and Jade can both equip Spears. Spears are now two-handed weapons, requiring the wielder to forgo a shield; dual-wielding is also not possible. However, Spears share the "Parry" property with Greatswords, which allows the wielder to sometimes block an enemy attack.

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below

Spears are Kiryl's weapon of choice, being low strength weapons that compensate by hitting multiple times per combo.
