Dragon's Dogma 2 Trickster Overview
This Dragon's Dogma 2 vocation specializes in giving support to other team members, thanks above all to the use of some unique weapons and abilities that are present in its arsenal. Consequently, even if it is not a very useful class from the point of view of damage to inflict on opponents, it is still very useful to have someone with this class in your team to have someone who has great support capabilities during your adventure.
However, unlike the other Dragon's Dogma 2 vocations you can choose from in the game, this one cannot be assigned to one of the Pawns. Consequently, if you want to have the privileges of this class, you will have to choose it and play as it. So, if you are interested in playing the support role in the team, it is definitely one of the best choices you can make.
Although this class is based on the use of magic, it is not as powerful as that of the Mages and Sorcerers, precisely because it is a hybrid Dragon's Dogma 2 vocation that does not only use magic. Among the various hybrid classes, it is perhaps the most difficult to use, so it is certainly not recommended for novices.
How to Play Trickster in Dragon's Dogma 2
The first thing to know in order to become familiar with the use of this Dragon's Dogma 2 vocation is that you must stay away from the action and have a good view of the combat field. This is a crucial thing, without which you wouldn't be able to play as the Trickster so efficiently.
Another very important thing is your placement on the battlefield. Choosing a class that is not focused on hand-to-hand combat but on long-range combat means that you have to have a very strategic mind. You certainly can't position yourself anywhere. You will have to study the situation well in each case and choose the best position to help your team.
Since the Trickster is a class specialized in support, it is normal that his strength is in helping his allies. Precisely for this reason, you will be able to make use of spells and abilities that are able to give bonuses to you and your allies, or penalties to your enemies. It all depends on what you decide to use.
However, although this Dragon's Dogma 2 vocation is perfect for providing support to allies, it is certainly not a class that boasts excellent defensive capabilities. Consequently, in order not to be overwhelmed by enemies, it is very important that you focus on always being vigilant and attentive, so as not to fall victim to your opponents.
Finally, as we have already mentioned previously, this Dragon's Dogma 2 vocation is certainly not a choice to make if your goal is to inflict a lot of damage on your opponents. You will have to rely more on your manipulation skills than attacking, so keep this fundamental detail in mind when choosing to be part of this class.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Trickster Skills
As in any game of the genre, in Dragon's Dogma 2 each class has skills that it can draw on during combat. In this case, Dragon's Dogma 2 gives you the possibility to choose between three different skill categories: 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 have chosen, even if you will be using the same weapon. This means that you can have a completely different approach with two different classes.
