Some Scrolls Are Limited

Some scrolls in Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D Remake are limited in quantity. Certain high-impact abilities, like Wild Side, are only available in one copy, so you’ll need to choose carefully which character learns them.

Who Should You Use Scrolls On?

Physical Abilities on Prince of Midenhall

The Prince of Midenhall benefits the most from physical-type scrolls because he is built entirely around Strength.

Since he can’t cast spells, scrolls that provide high-output physical damage, such as Miracle Slash, enemy-specific attacks like Undead Undoer and Demon Demeaner, or damage-amplifying stances like Wild Side, greatly increasis his DPS effectivity. Investing these scrolls in him also gives you far more stability in major boss fights.

Magical Spells on Princess of Moonbrooke

The Princess of Moonbrooke is the optimal target for offensive and utility spell scrolls such as Kafrizz or Kacrackle, thanks to her high Wisdom and strong elemental damage. Scrolls allow her to cover elements she normally lacks and push her mid to late game damage to competitive levels.

She also makes the best use of high-cost or advanced tier spells, as her MP pool is naturally higher than the others.

Hybrid Skills on Prince of Cannock

The Prince of Cannock performs best with scrolls that strengthen his hybrid attacker role, giving him tools that scale from both Strength and Wisdom. Elemental slashes such as Kacrackle Slash, and mixed-type utility skills let him flex between physical and magical damage depending on the encounter.

Scrolls also provide him with consistency against enemy resistances, such as the Dragon Slash scroll, improving his adaptability throughout the mid and late game.

Support and Utility Skills on Princess of Cannock

The Princess of Cannock excels with scrolls that enhance her support and control capabilities, particularly those that provide buffs, debuffs, or other forms of battlefield manipulation.

Her naturally high Agility gives her frequent first-turn priority, allowing her to immediately apply defense-altering skills like Buff or Kasap, reduce enemy accuracy, or set up other debuff effects before foes can respond.
