Dragon's Dogma 2 Magick Archer Skills

As in every game of the genre, in Dragon's Dogma 2 each class has abilities that it can draw on during the game. Specifically, there are three different categories of skills: Weapon Skills, Core Skills, and Augments. Let's see together what it is.

Weapon Skills

These skills may be different based on the type of Dragon's Dogma 2 vocation you decide to use, even if you use the same type of weapon.

  • Frostseeker Bolt: Fires a bolt of magickal ice that pursues hostile targets of its own accord and can inflict frostbite.
  • Radiant Orb: Fires an orb of searing flame that illuminates the area and may cause targets within to catch fire. Orb adheres to walls and hostile targets on contact. Effect duration depends on charge time.
  • Flamefang Arrow: Fires an arrow of magickal flame that explodes on impact. Can control the arrow’s trajectory after it is loosed.
  • Remedy Arrow: Looses an arrow blessed with magick that revives fallen pawns when fully charged. If loosed too early, the arrow will instead restore the Health of any allies it strikes.
  • Vimtaking Arrow: Looses an arrow hexed with magick that saps the Health of hostile targets in the line of fire and grants it to allied pawns. The more targets the arrow hits, the more Health will be recovered.
  • Frosthunter Bolt: An advanced form of Frostseeker Bolt that extends the effect’s duration.
  • Ricochet Seeker: Looses a magickal arrow that flies wildly about, increasing in power as it ricochets off walls. Effective in cramped quarters.
  • Sedative Bolt: Fires a magickal bolt that adds to target’s sleep value on impact. Amount added increases the longer the bolt is charged, but as the sleep value is variable, firing multiple bolts is most effective.
  • Hailstone Bolt: Fires a clump of ice that grows in size the longer it is charged and delivers a solid blow to foes it strikes.
