This game is enormous.

Alright, so I said the same thing three times, but I needed to get the point across.

Head to Melve!

At every corner is a new mystery or a solution to one I encountered 20 hours prior.

I never got around to the place where it existed, as I was everywhere else instead.

Before jumping on Mystic Spearhand, check out ourVocation guideto see all your options first.

Head to Melve!

That said, Mystic Spearhand is some of the most fun I’ve had in a game.

It’s one of the fastest, most nimble Vocations in the game.

Let’s get to it!

Combinations of spells happening simultaneously will never grow tiring.

In one mission, players will relive the sequence of events that led them to become the Arisen.

After some time has passed, return toMelve, and a new dragon will be present in the city.

Attack this dragon and drive it out of the town.

Approach this man and ask him his name and style.

It’s a joy to play and feels completely overpowered when used correctly.

Only the Arisen can play as this Vocation.

Mystic Spearhand screenshots of attacks

Easy ranged attacks by smashing Y.

Not to mention, you get an impenetrable shield ability that can be recast at the cost of stamina.

Infinite damage protection is back on the menu, boys!

You’ll play as a near-total melee character with quite a bit of range.

Same shot, same spot?

Armed with a dual-sided spear, the Mystic Spearhand uses Strength and Magick to cause harm to enemies.

Get ready to fly sky-high as you lunge your way into danger.

you could unlock more abilities by increasing the rank of your chosenVocation.

I love hitting enemies with follow-up attacks.

It takes over 27,000Disciplineto reach level 9, the max level for allVocations.

Weapon Skills list

Weapon Skillsare powerful abilities that players can use at the cost ofStamina.

ManySkillsare learned by leveling theVocation Rankthey are under, while others are learned viaScrollsgiven byVocation Maisters.

Mystic Spearhand screenshots of attacks

Aim for the head.

All Skills can be swapped in and out freely atVocation Guilds.

Meaning if you earn anAugmentforSorcerer, it can be equipped on theFighter.Augmentsare acquired by spendingDisciplineat aVocation Guild.

You are able to equip up to sixAugmentsat any given time.

Hey buddy!

Increase the rank of theVocationto unlock moreAugments.

It’s one heck of a hike.

Once you’ve arrived, camp.

Mystic Spearhand screenshots of attacks

Dragonsbreath Tower is off the heavily fortified path full of enemies.

You’ll need it.

There’s a small campsite at the foot of the tower.

Once rested, head toward the gate, where a red dragon will appear from the tower.

Mystic Spearhand screenshots of attacks

Take that goo-boy!

It’s at that moment Sigurd will join in and ask to best the Dragon with the Arisen.

Charge ahead and climb the multiple tower levels.

On your way, more enemies will get in your crosshairs.

Mystic Spearhand screenshots of attacks

Wild Furie is the exact ability you’d expect this Vocation to have.

Once you’ve reached the top, the battle with the Dragon begins.

Don’t take the enemy head-on; instead, use your shield ability to protect the party.

Target the pustules protruding from the side; these are weak points.

Mystic Spearhand screenshots of attacks

Fire away!

Don’t give up on them until they pop.

Take your time, the battle will be longer than you’re most likely used to.

Play defensively and wait for the right openings to attack.

HP Omen PC

Running out of Stamina means certain death.

Once you’ve bested the Dragon, you’ll obtain theDead Ringeroff its corpse.

This is the best duospear I’ve found in the game so far.

Mystic Spearhand screenshots of attacks

Kill. All. Dragons.

You’ll want to equip it immediately.

Two of which you’ll start with and never drop.

I will argue with anyone who says otherwise.

This is my BOOM stick!

This ability is the bread and butter of the class.

Assign this to the button you’re ready to always press.

Seching Blade/Stormis an easy pick to start.

Dragon’s Dogma 2

What pawns do we want?

It’s a quick and solid pick for early-game builds.

Thef’s/Ravinour’s Hondis crucial early in the game, as Stamina management can be challenging.

This quick class will bleed Stamina fast.

Dragon’s Dogma 2

Seching Blade will make up the gap substantially, an ability we’ll switch out later.

Mirour Vesture/SheldeOnce this skill is equipped, I never found a reason to take it off.

Honestly, this might get nerfed.

Microsoft Corporation Xbox…

I realize it’s a single-player game, but this ability stops anything from hurting you.

you might keep them in if you wish, but you’ll be holding back your true potential.

ForSeching Blade/Storm, exchange it withMagike Speregonne.Magike Speregonnewill provide a solid bump in damage with a single-charged shot.

Microsoft Xbox Series X 1TB…

What’s more, it gets even better when players use appropriate Stamina rings that boost the overall pool.

The more Stamina a player consumes when charging, the more damage they’ll deal.

While it will one-shot smaller enemies, this ability shines on the big ones.

Xbox Series X 1000GB - Black

As forThef’s/Ravinour’s Hond, that’s replaced bySkiedragoun’s Feste/Fangtooth.

It’s the equivalent of theHelm SplitterforThiefand provides excellent knockdown potential against the right opponent.

It also makes excellent use as a secondary evade skill alongsideDragoun’s Foin.

Xbox Series X 1TB SSD Console…

Best Mystic Spearhand Augments

Many of the best augments forMystic Spearhandwill actually come from other Vocations.

In fact, only one of the augments will.

Plus, the added benefit of augmenting your duospear attacks withMagick Boonsis critical.

Microsoft Xbox Series X…

So verify theMagein your party is a buffer on top of it all.

Their damage output is secondary to their ability to keep you and your party alive through mistakes.

Second, I recommend a proper tank in the form of aFighterorWarrior; it’s up to you.

Providing extra damage is always a good thing, too.

For the last role, my pick has to beSorcerer.

They’ll balance any elemental weakness of the party while providing tremendous damage potential.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The motto of theMystic Spearhandis to kill, and theSorcererknows how to do that well.

Plus, you already have two melee damage dealers in the party.

Charge head-first into battle and never stop

Our guide has come to an end.

I look forward to seeing clips of players using the Mystic Spearhand to decimate foes.

Until next time, Arisen, slay the Dragon!
