Balanced party

When starting out in Dragon’s Dogma 2, a balanced party consisting of a Mage (Arisen), Fighter (main Pawn), Thief, and Archer (hired Pawns) can offer a good mix of magick and physical attacks. The Mage focuses on healing, while the Fighter provides stability in close combat, supported by the agility of the Thief and ranged attacks from the Archer.

Magick party

For players inclined towards magick-based gameplay, consider having your Arisen as a Mystic Spearhand (not available to Pawns) and your main Pawns as Sorcerer, Mage, and Fighter. The Sorcerer and Mage duo can synchronize spells effectively, while the Mystic Spearhand brings a blend of magick and physical damage to the table.

Offensive party

If your preference leans towards offensive physical damage, assembling a team with a Fighter, Warrior, Thief, and Mage can be a solid choice. The Mage’s healing and buffs complement the physical damage output of the other members, making it a well-rounded offensive setup.

Defensive/ranged party

For a defensive or ranged-attacking playstyle, consider positioning your Arisen as a Magick Archer and your Pawns as Archer, Mage, and Fighter. This setup ensures a balance between ranged attacks and defensive capabilities, with the Fighter acting as the frontline tank while the Archer and Magick Archer provide support from a distance.

Experimenting with these party compositions can enhance your gameplay experience in Dragon’s Dogma 2. In addition to team setups, mastering time-sensitive quests is essential for progressing efficiently in the game.
