In this part of the video, the focus is on the Warrior build in Dragon’s Dogma 2, detailing the Warrior’s primary role and strategies. The Warrior is all about delivering massive damage, clearing groups of enemies, and handling large foes with ease. Essential tactics include using combos like “barge and standard attack” to efficiently stun and damage enemies. A key combo involves using a heavy attack on grounded or stunned opponents for maximum damage, particularly effective against large enemies like Cyclopes. Core skills are vital, with recommendations to purchase all available skills and specifically utilize “Break Neck Strike” for enhanced charged attacks. The segment emphasizes mastering basic attacks and combos rather than relying solely on weapon skills for optimal gameplay.

In this part of the video, the focus is on various combat techniques and augments in a given game. The chain of blows allows continuous base attacks, which should be timed to maintain attack speed and is a fundamental combat strategy. Repulse is a parrying skill that might not be essential but can be fun to use. The bullwork core skill reduces damage while charging attacks.
The discussion then shifts to augments, starting with warrior-specific ones. Vitality increases max health and is reliable early on; Impact improves pushing and pulling capability but is less useful; Pertinacity is essential for breaking guards; Dominance boosts knockdown power and is critical to the warrior’s play style; Intrepidity reduces the loss of the gauge when taking damage and is recommended for late game.
Other vocation augments include Metal from the fighter class, which increases physical defense, and Provocation, which increases the likelihood of enemy targeting. From the Archer vocation, Lethality increases damage when hitting an enemy’s vital weak spot.

They mention that leveling the Archer vocation is advisable and highlight the Thief vocation’s strength-enhancing augment, Verve, as an optional but notable choice. The Mystic’s polarity skill, which boosts strength during the day, is also mentioned.
Regarding skills, the speaker prefers to frequently rotate their skills for enjoyment but recommends a specific set they use often. This includes Heavenward Sunder and Mountain Breaker for powerful, versatile attacks against large enemies and airborne targets. They prefer these over Indomitable Lash for their additional utility and precision. For other main skills, they use Raising Sweep for group clearing and quick attacks while avoiding being staggered, and Ravening Lunge for control, positioning, and decent damage. The fourth skill slot is adaptable, often switching to Ark of Might for handling tough enemies.
The speaker emphasizes this skill set’s ability to handle various combat situations, including dealing significant damage, clearing groups, targeting flying enemies, repositioning, and maintaining versatility. They also occasionally swap skills for fun, such as using Tidle Wrath.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the best strategies for optimizing gear and skills for a warrior character focused on pure destruction. Indomitable Lash is recommended as a skill, and it’s critical to choose the best possible armor and weapons. Large hammers are highlighted for their effectiveness in dealing blunt damage and toppling enemies. The video explores different smithing options for upgrading gear: Vermon’s smithies provide balanced upgrades, Batal’s smithies offer significant damage and defense buffs at the cost of increased weight, and Dwarven smithing enhances knockdown power and gives more balanced buffs. Min-maxing is noted to be unnecessary. For accessories, the speaker favors the Ring of Vem and Ring of Disfavor. Lastly, the preferred main pawn setup includes a Mage for support with spells like Solarity, which boosts speed, making it highly beneficial for warriors. The add-on support pawns usually include an archer or thief for their respective utilities.
