Dragon Age: The Veilguard allows you to create a character and pick from three distinct classes: Warrior, Mage, and Rogue.
The Dragon Age series has always put player expression and freedom front and center through its narrative choices, companion selection, and character creation. Dragon Age: The Veilguard follows suit in all aspects, especially with its extensive character creator. The game offers three classes to choose from, each with its own specializations. First-time players may find picking a class daunting, worried that choosing the wrong class might hamper their experience with the game or perhaps make it harder. Well, don’t worry, as we’re here to answer the burning question: Which class should you choose in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?
In this guide, we shall go over the three classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and their varying playstyles to help you pick one for yourself.
Classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Before we begin, we want to preface this by saying that all classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are fairly balanced in terms of difficulty, and the class you pick comes down to mostly personal preference. The game has three classes to offer:
- Warrior
- Mage
- Rogue
Warrior Class
The Warrior class is Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s version of the traditional RPG knight class. The class hands you a sword and a shield to do whatever you want. The combat here is up close and personal. The thought of running up to large hordes of enemies or a giant dragon may seem intimidating, but it allows you to fully utilize the game’s combat mechanics.
Mage Class
The Mage class has the use of magic front and center. The combat in this class is less in-your-face than it is for the Warrior and offers far greater breathing room. Strategy is the name of the game, and the Mage incentivizes you to sit back, study the enemy, and exploit their weaknesses. The class also has really powerful magical abilities and lets you deal with enemies with some visual flair.
Rogue Class
The Rogue class, while on a level playing field with the other two, is clearly the black sheep class in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The class incentivizes a ninja-like high-risk, high-reward playstyle of running in, chipping away HP, and falling back. Alternatively, it also lets you use bows and pick enemies off from a distance. The combat is frantic and fast-paced, and you will often find yourself dancing around the enemies like a ruthless killer.
Which Class Should You Pick?
We recommend picking the Warrior class as it offers you the most opportunities to familiarize yourself with the intricacies and mechanics of Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s combat. The fights are hard-hitting and intense, and the class’s combat offers an adrenaline rush like no other.
