Which Class Should You Pick?
You have so many fantastic options to choose from when it comes to the classes in Dragon’s Dogma 2. You’ll start with one of the Basic Classes, then as you advance through the story and level up your character, eventually choose an Advanced Class. With that in mind, I recommend picking one of the following:
- Fighter: The ultimate in-your-face melee class, fighters can take the fight to the enemy and deal damage with powerful swings and strikes. They are early-game tanks accessible to any player.
- Archer: If you have any experience with the original Dragon’s Dogma, you know that a powerful Archer becomes a force and completely changes the experience. They’re long-range experts using a bow and arrow.
Of course, the class you select is completely up to you and your desired playstyle! I’ll likely wind up rolling one of each!
