Dragon’s Dogma 2 Mystic Spearhand best weapon skills
The Duospear is a truly cool weapon, and Mystic Spearhands specialise in using its twin edges with vicious dexterity, augmenting their piercing attacks with a nice blend of magick. Here are my favourite Duospear weapon skills.
Dragoun’s Stabbe
Dragoun’s Stabbeis a beginning Mystic Spearhand skill, starting the trend of this vocation’s skills all using truly ancient spelling. It also demonstrates this vocation’s agile style, sending you shooting forward in a blue jetstream as you ram your spear into the enemy in front of you.

This skill can be used on the ground and in mid-air, where it’s stellar for targeting flying enemies or grabbing hold of a griffin who’s just beyond your reach. It’s tricky at first to land, and you might go careening in the wrong direction. But mastering Dragoun’s Stabbe - and later its more powerful advanced version,Dragoun’s Foin- is your first step towards becoming a Duospear warrior.
Seching Blade
Eventually you can upgrade toSeching Storm, which allows you to conjure more blades at decreased Stamina.
Humble Offringe

If moving enemies around against their will is your thing, you can upgrade Humble Offringe toDevout Offringe, which extends the range of this skill.
Mirour Vesture
Skiedragoun’s Fangtooth
Skiedragoun’s Fangtoothreminds me of the abilities of the Dragoon in just about everyFinal Fantasygame out there. You know the deal - hop far into the sky, then plunge down at great speed, impaling any target who dares to stand in your point of impact. This skill will inflict even greater harm when you use it to evade an enemy’s attack. Like Dragoun’s Stabbe, you can often miss with this skill, but when you hit, it’s so, so satisfying.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Mystic Spearhand best core skills
InDragon’s Dogma 2, core skills are foundational abilities for each vocation. The Mystic Spearhand has a tonne of cool ones that revolve around amping up their magic and spear interplay.Twein CutandMagike Cut, which respectively act as your basic melee attacks, are the all-important ones you need to start with. Other than those building blocks, give these a go:
Redoubted Bolt
Redoubted Boltshoots a magickal burst that doesn’t deal damage but can flinch enemies, which is useful for setting up further attacks. If you end up using this a lot, upgrade toForbeding Boltto charge your bolts up, preventing targets from moving instead of merely flinching them.Scatering Boltis a further upgrade that lets you dispence Forbeding Bolt immediately instead of charging.
You’ll be switching between pure damage-dealing strikes and Redoubted Bolts for chip damage frequently as a Mystic Spearhand. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom
Quick Fot
Winding Cut
This is the cool move that all spear and staff users have in media - the neat “spin the long weapon around repeatedly” manoeuvre that deals constant damage in its wake. The more you press the button assigned toWinding Cut, the more spear rotations your Arisen will perform.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Mystic Spearhand best augments
Augments make your passive stats go up in Dragon’s Dogma 2. The Mystic Spearhand benefits from selecting the following choices:
Polarity
Polarityboosts your strength stat during the day and your magick stat at night. It’s an interesting augment that can help you build a unique playstyle depending on what time of day it is, which is only fitting for the Mystic Spearhand’s dual-class, melee meets magick nature.
Athleticism
Athleticismreduces the amount of Stamina you use when dashing, which is 100% needed considering how much you’re going to be moving when you play as this vocation.
