Dragon’s Dogma 2: New Vocation Mystic Spearhand Explained

Capcom has given us an overview and gameplay footage of various vocations from Dragon’s Dogma 2 ahead of its launch, one of the newly revealed vocations is the Mystic Spearhand. While this new addition may share some similarities with the fan-favorite Mystic Knight from the original Dragon’s Dogma, the Mystic Spearhand is a completely newly designed unique vocation that promises to offer players an exhilarating combat experience mixing melee and mix of range attacks.

At first glance, the Mystic Spearhand and the Mystic Knight may seem similar, both blending melee and magic abilities to create a formidable hybrid class. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the Mystic Spearhand is a true trailblazer, forging its own path in the world of Dragon’s Dogma.

More Offense, Less Defense

There has been a complete change in tactical approach shifting from Mystic Knight to Mystic Spearhand with the former being more defensive while the latter focuses more on Offense, the latter embraces a more aggressive and offensive approach to combat. Wielding a two-handed Duospear, this vocation lacks the defensive safety net of a shield, instead relying on a diverse array of offensive spells and fluid weapon techniques to overwhelm and subdue foes.

Fast-Paced and Acrobatic Combat

The Mystic Knight’s playstyle in Dragon’s Dogma was characterized by slow, calculated moves, as players had to patiently wait for enemies to make their advance before capitalizing on defensive opportunities. In contrast, the Mystic Spearhand promises a more fast-paced and acrobatic combat experience, with a fluid combination of Magick skills and weapon abilities that keep the action flowing seamlessly.

Unique Weapon: The Duospear

Mystic Spearhand was redesigned while considering its signature weapon “The Duospear”. This unique two-handed spear is infused with Magick, allowing players to unleash long-range spells and magical attacks alongside their melee strikes. It’s a Hybrid tool enabling its bearer to engage enemies from various ranges and adapt to different combat scenarios.

Hybrid Combat

While the Mystic Knight from Dragon’s Dogma will always hold a special place in the hearts of fans, the Mystic Spearhand represents a bold new era of hybrid combat in Dragon’s Dogma 2. By fusing the raw power of melee attacks with the versatility of Magick, this vocation promises to deliver an exhilarating and dynamic gameplay experience that will challenge players to master its intricacies.

Whether you’re a veteran of the Dragon’s Dogma series or a newcomer, the Mystic Spearhand is a vocation that demands your attention. With its unique playstyle, signature weapon, and fusion of melee and magic, this class is poised to redefine what it means to be a hybrid warrior in the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2.

So, gear up and prepare to embark on a brand new adventure, as the Mystic Spearhand beckons you to unleash its untapped potential and conquer the challenges that lie ahead.
