Dragon's Dogma 2 just released, and many may be worried about choosing the wrong class to start with. Fortunately, we come to your rescue with this guide that will allow you to embark on the journey with a setup that suits you. We remind you that no class is definitive and that you can easily change your choice once the adventure has already begun. Furthermore, with this article, we do not wish to trap you in other people's choices; after all, experimenting is the only way to familiarize yourself with the gameplay.
We will therefore limit ourselves to telling you what they are the characteristics of the various classes and among these we will show you those most suitable for novice players. There will be four vocations available at the beginning: warrior, archer, wizard and thief. We will also teach you how to decide which approach to assign to your pawn: that is, to the companion moved by the AI who will follow you for the entire adventure. But now let's stop talking and let's investigate the new Capcom RPG.
The warrior | Dragon's Dogma 2: guide to the best classes
With a classic appearance and traditional loadout is the warrior, which boasts in its arsenal a sword to attack and a shield to defend. It embodies the role of offensive tank, thanks to the numerous defensive skills and the high amount of HP, the greatest of the initial vocations. This is quite a class basic in use but equally effectiveas it is permissive by virtue of its resistance and capable of moderate damage.
The time will come when it will be better to replace it with one of the advanced classes, nevertheless it remains more than suitable for the initial stages of the game. Furthermore, thanks to the points of her life, it can be used as a distraction to allow the pawns to cast spells with very high loading times. Among the vocations it is one of the most fun to play but it risks showing its side when the enemies become gigantic and hiding behind the shield is a useless technique.
The Thief | Dragon's Dogma 2: guide to the best classes
Thief tends to be a class rather technical and even in Dragon's Dogma 2 its use requires full understanding of enemy weaknesses. It is probably the strongest vocation of the Capcom title but requires profound knowledge of the positional dynamics of the title. What he sacrifices in damage, in fact, he recovers quickly but at the same time he is not very familiar with crowds of enemies.
To master the thief you must have patience, use the surrounding environment to your advantage and target the vulnerable parts of various creatures. The dynamism of the aforementioned class is counterbalanced by one greater fragility which makes it less permissive than the warrior but at the same time capable of performing sudden series of blows and climbing onto the bodies of the monstrosities of Dragon's Dogma 2.
The Magician | Dragon's Dogma 2: guide to the best classes
Healing spells and elemental tricks are the prerogatives of the magician: a rather difficult class to master but devastating if used correctly. It has three main uses: the first is the defensive one, the second the offensive one and the third the support one. Not only that, in fact, it can heal himself and his pawns but it can give them elemental buffs aimed at hitting the opponent where he is most fragile.
Finally, with rather high casting times he can also release powerful sorceries on the battlefield. However, we must be careful. It is in fact equipped with low HP and the inability to wear too heavy armor, which exposes him to enemy harassment. Knowing, therefore, the territory and positioning yourself correctly is vital to staying alive long enough to show off your magical arsenal.
The archer | Dragon's Dogma 2: guide to the best classes
We do not recommend to beginners, due to its technicality and the need for in-depth knowledge of enemy vulnerabilities, what is one of the most complex and fascinating classes: the archer. It is a combination of the positional characteristics of the magician and the speed and precision necessary to use the thief. First, you have to find a high ground from which to observe enemies, hit them and avoid short-range physical attacks.
But it doesn't end here, as to save yourself in the most desperate situations, one is essential careful management of the pieces which will have to come between the enemy and your character. What makes the archer quite difficult is the need to manage your arrows. During more complex battles, in fact, special darts are vital, which are not very easy to obtain, especially at the beginning of the game. This adds another layer to the strategic scope of this vocation, making it decidedly complex.
The pawns | Dragon's Dogma 2: guide to the best classes
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a title that punishes lone wolves and requires management of your own party of tokens to win every challenge. These also have their own classes and choices of Synergistic combinations can turn tough battles into simple combat. Let's now see in detail how to select the vocation of your pawn. We consider the decision to have at least extremely versatile as well as extraordinarily effective a wizard in your party.
Not only can they create powerful combined spells in league with another spellcaster, but they allow melee classes to take advantage of elemental damage. Having warriors on the team, however, allows you to distract the opponent while trying solutions from a distance. Archers and mages, therefore, would do well to keep the enemy's attention occupied while using their range to attack.
