Add to Watchlist

The Hackrobat

The Hackrobat is a boss encountered in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined (DQ7). See how to beat this boss, recommended equipment for the fight, and the boss' information here.

How to Beat Hackrobat

Use Fire Skills

Maribel Kerfrizz

Hackrobat has a weakness to Fire Skills, which can be easily exploited by Kiefer and Maribel.

Use Kiefer's Flame Slash and Maribel's Frizz or Kerfrizz, which can deal even more damage once they Let Loose.

List of All Offensive Skills

Use Aqua Slash to Lower Lightning Resistance

Hero Aqua Slash

On turns where you do not need to heal your allies, use Aqua Slash to amplify Kiefer's Lightning Slash.

The Hackrobat is weak to both Fire and Lightning skills, so Kiefer can make use of either Lightning Slash or Flame Slash to deal damage effectively.

How to Check Weaknesses and Resistances

Use Hero to Heal and Support

Hero Heal

Since Maribel has better offensive skills against Hackrobat, use Hero to cast Heal on party members as needed.

Try to use conserve Maribel's MP and use it to launch offensive skills instead to quickly defeat the Hackrobat!
