Dragon’s Dogma 2: Mystic Spearhand Vocation and How to Play the Class Guide

Get a complete guide on playing as a Mystic Spearhand vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2, covering their class powers and skills.

Mystic Spearhand Vocation (Class) Overview

The Mystic Spearhand is a hybrid vocation with a versatile weapon called Duospears. In Dragon’s Dogma 2, the Mystic Spearhand vocation blends the best offensive and defensive skills in one class. It can deal damage at any range, has incredible mobility, and controls multiple enemies simultaneously. This is one of the best vocation choices due to its overall combat flexibility, raw power, and survivability.

The vocation you choose in Dragon’s Dogma 2 defines the skills, playstyle, and weapons you or your pawns (companions) can use in combat. Additionally, as you level up, you will improve statistics and unlock Augments, which are passive boosts. Both will help you increase your combat efficiency, including survivability and damage output.

It’s important to know that you can change your actively equipped skills at any campfire if you have a camping kit. You can obtain a camping kit by purchasing it from merchants, or, if you are lucky, you may find one in the world. However, it’s worth noting that you cannot unlock new skills or change your vocation at campfires.

Should you play Mystic Spearhand Vocation (Class) in Dragon’s Dogma 2?

Mystic Spearhand is an excellent choice for players who want to play an aggressive, high-speed fighter who stays in the storm of the fight. The vocation deals significant damage while keeping the essential crowd control tools, making it easy to move around the battlefield and even reach flying enemies.

Mystic Spearhand specializes in ranged, melee combat, and magick. However, unlike sorcerers or mages who primarily focus on elemental magic, this vocation channels their powers to manipulate objects from a distance. This class can throw objects, lift them, and defeat enemies with this unique magic type.

Their weapon, a dual-ended spear called simply Duospear, can deal significant physical damage. And thanks to the area of effect, skills easily defeat surrounding enemies.

Additionally, You can’t use Mystic Spearhand class for your Pawn. If you want your Pawn to learn an advanced vocation, consider Warrior or Sorcerer.

How to Play Mystic Spearhand Vocation – Class Gameplay

In Dragon’s Dogma 2, whether engaging in close combat or striking from a distance, when playing Mystic Spearhand class, you can expect the vocation to deliver powerful blows that swiftly crush foes.

High Damage and Versatile: With its versatile range, magic, and ability to switch seamlessly between melee and ranged attacks, the Mystic Spearhand shines in dealing significant damage to enemies. Utilizing the Duospear weapon, the Mystic Spearhand can unleash devastating physical and magical combos, making it a powerful force on the battlefield. With Mystic Spearhand magic, you can even pick up smaller enemies and throw them, which can kill them.

Defensive and Party Support: The Mystic Spearhand offers limited defensive capabilities and lacks significant utility in supporting allies in group settings. While it excels in dealing damage, mobility, and crowd control, it falls short in terms of defensive skills or party buffs. Players should prioritize offensive tactics and rely on mobility to avoid incoming attacks.

Crowd Control: With sweeping attacks and area-of-effect skills, the Mystic Spearhand excels in managing groups of enemies, keeping them at bay while dealing damage. Skills like Shock, an electric attack, it can stun multiple nearby enemies. While stunned, they can’t attack. When you need to manage a crowd or find yourself surrounded, this can be a useful tactic. It allows you to clear the area. Shadow, which creates a duplicate to double damage and range, allows the Mystic Spearhand to control the battlefield and dictate the flow of combat.

Mobility: The Mystic Spearhand is a highly mobile warrior that quickly closes the distance to enemies using dashing skills. With teleporting tricks, they move swiftly around the battlefield and engage foes in close combat, unleashing a flurry of melee attacks with the Duospear. Their mobility skills allow them to outmaneuver opponents and avoid incoming attacks.

Mystic Spearhand Skills and Augments

Just like all vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2, Archer has access to three types of skills:

• Weapon Skills: Vocation-dependent weapon skills refer to specialized weapon techniques that may differ among various vocations, even if they share the same weapons. ( As such, it is crucial to understand the weapon skills available to your vocation to optimize your combat abilities.) These skills can be executed by pressing the related weapon skill button.
• Core Skills: Skills that are dependent on a specific weapon can be used by any vocation that has access to it. These skills are performed by pressing the light and heavy attack buttons in a specific order.
• Augments: Passive trait buffs are earned when leveling a specific vocation. Once unlocked, the augment can be used regardless of the character’s vocation.

As you can see, some of those skills are passive boosts, and some are active abilities you will use in combat to deal damage and sometimes control the battlefield.

In Dragon’s Dogma 2, you can simultaneously have only a few skills per category active. With ranks, you unlock more of them by using specific vocations in combat as you level up. So some of the abilities listed below might not be available to you from the start.
