Pawn specialization and traits
Specialization is a special parameter that gives a companion a new behavioral trait. There is no universal specialization, and most will cause you problems or even let you down at the most important moment. Therefore, this is one of the important points to pay attention to when choosing a new pawn.
To open a specialization, you need to interact with the pawn and demonstrate your attitude towards others through dialogues and actions. After a certain time, a comrade will develop a new trait that will influence behavior in battle and in dialogues.
To change the character of a pawn, you need an item “Mysterious Incense of the Rift”. This is a rare resource that you can find in the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 or purchase with real money.
Best trait for a fighter
The fighters’ task is to move to the forefront and cause massive damage in close-quarters combat. Honesty will reveal this warrior, although it will reduce the accuracy of attacks. Such a pawn will be a reliable partner for players who like to fight on the front line.
If you prefer a safe class, such as archer or mage, we recommend that you follow this one good-hearted fighter. Unlike the first option, this one focuses on protecting your allies and won’t leave you alone.
Best trait for a mage
Choose the best attribute depending on what is missing on the battlefield:
- Honesty or equanimity – an aggressive wizard who makes fireballs and does not wait for his comrades. Rarely cures even when commanded;
- Kind-heartedness – A magician who specializes in support. He is always ready to retreat and heal his comrades;
- Straight away – a well-balanced option suitable for novice players. Such a mage skillfully balances between healing spells and dealing damage.
Best trait for an archer
Not the most durable class that should prevent unnecessary damage. Sagittarius with traits equanimity or good-natured will often be exposed to blows. The best option – immediacywhich allows you to soberly assess the situation, inflict great damage from a distance and retreat if necessary.
Best trait for a thief
The Thief is a weak melee character, so immediacy he needs it first. Clarity And kind-heartedness to make the pawn useless in battle, we do not recommend paying attention to such thieves. They will be the first to enter battle and most likely die without waiting for their comrades.
Best trait for a warrior
Each trait has its own disadvantage, which will only reduce the warrior’s combat potential. Undisturbed character is optimal for this class. You will not see anything special, but such a fighter is predictable, which will simplify the strategy on the battlefield.
Best trait for a wizard
The main task of wizards is to cause constant damage. If you select good-natured pawn you risk losing the battle because it is distracted by the environment. Fully revealing the wizard with an attribute equanimitywhich allows you to deal critical damage.
The strongest teams for your specialization
Having multiple classes is meant to allow you to build a well-balanced team regardless of your main character. Depending on your preferences you can select the appropriate pawns:
- Fighter — enemies have little chance in battles with you, so you need to think about support. Archer, magician And magician together they will create a strong and balanced team, where the key role will be played by the player;
- Magician – they fit this character best warrior, fighter And magician. One of the melee fighters will become a tank, and the second will destroy individual targets. The wizard will strengthen them, and all you have to do is keep an eye on the successful battle and cover your allies;
- Archer – the meaning is the same as with the magician. Warrior, fighter And magician will perfectly complement your character and hide the archer’s weaknesses;
- Thief – you can only cause major damage if the pawns distract attention. Warrior And fighter they can handle it and are kind-hearted magician will focus on healing, leaving you open to massive damage.
