As you progress through your Professions and develop your character in Dragon’s Saga 2, you’ll accumulate XP and DCP. XP aids in leveling up and gradually enhancing your strength, while DCP must be invested in unlocking new abilities for your current Profession. With a total of 10 Professions to unlock and utilize, each offering a variety of skills to explore, it’s crucial to optimize your choices to maximize effectiveness. Here, we offer recommendations for the most advantageous abilities tailored to each Profession in the game.
Prime Abilities
The most effective abilities vary for each Profession, depending on their combat roles. Some skills can be upgraded to more potent versions as you advance in your Profession, so periodically revisiting the skills menu ensures you’re utilizing the optimal versions available.
Warrior
- Aerial Cleave — Warriors excel in close combat, but Aerial Cleave provides an opportunity to engage flying adversaries with a powerful leaping strike.
- Deep Thrust — Versatile against foes of all sizes, this skill involves thrusting your weapon into an enemy and relentlessly assaulting them. Against larger enemies, it also allows for a gripping hold.
Archer
- Torrential Barrage — Although stationary, this skill unleashes a rapid stream of arrows at an escalating rate, offering sustained ranged firepower.
- Explosive Volley — Similar to sticky bombs in other games, this skill enables arrows to adhere to targets, detonating either after a delay or upon activation, ideal for destabilizing enemies.
Mage
- Thunderstorm — Call down bolts of lightning to smite your foes, maintaining the cast for additional strikes at the cost of stamina. This potent ranged attack inflicts significant damage.
- Sanctuary — Create an area that dispels status ailments such as burning, frostbite, unconsciousness, and more, minimizing the need for consumables and mitigating harm.
Rogue
- Blast Powder — Plant and detonate a bomb after scaling a massive beast or when surrounded by smaller foes, delivering devastating impact. Useful for both combat and environmental exploration.
- Swift Escape — Execute this skill after reaching a significant foe’s weak point to secure a critical strike before evading. Particularly effective against vulnerable targets.
Berserker
- Rampant Fury — Launch a devastating strike by leaping into the air and slamming down with immense force. Damage output increases with elevation, making it a formidable offensive skill.
- Frenzied Assault — Deliver a colossal blow to finish off adversaries, unleashing a devastating strike capable of depleting enemy HP when timed correctly.
Sorcerer
- Thunderclap — Despite vulnerability during casting, summon a Thunderclap to provide defensive cover, acting as a turret to deter nearby enemies.
- Soul Drain — With magic users typically having low HP, this spell offers a dual advantage by sapping an enemy’s life force while replenishing your own.
Mystical Lancewielder
- Arcane Hurl — An enhanced version of the Humble skill, allowing you to levitate objects and hurl them at nearby enemies with extended range, complementing melee-centric combat.
- Reflective Ward — When facing imminent danger, cast Reflective Ward to erect a temporary barrier, nullifying incoming damage and providing invaluable protection.
Mystical Archer
- Incandescent Orb — Engage enemies by igniting them with a fiery projectile, inflicting continuous burning damage. Ideal for adding passive DPS to resilient adversaries.
- Vital Leech — Prioritize the well-being of your Pawns by utilizing this skill, draining enemy health to sustain your allies.
Trickster
- Alluring Charm — Bolster your Pawns with a potent attack buff, potentially reviving them when their HP reaches zero. Note that this ability drains their health.
- Illusory Veil — Create a strategic advantage by erecting an illusionary barrier, obstructing adversaries’ progress or enabling stealthy passage.
Vagabond
- The Vagabond possesses the versatility to acquire skills from any other Profession, allowing for a customizable and adaptable playstyle. Mix and match from the above list to create the ultimate build!
