Dragon's Dogma has a unique combat system that no other game can match. These are the skills that any Magick Archer needs to have! has a unique combat system that no other game can match. It takes the fun of open-world games like , and mixes it with more Japanese-heavy combat models seen in or more intense fighting games. Just like Skyrim, there are plenty of builds players can choose on their adventure in Dragon's Dogma. From warriors to mages, there is a class for everyone to try. Those who are interested in combining magical effects with archery should try the Magick Archer, considered by many to be one of the highest-damage classes in the game. You can't go wrong with Magick Archer's skills, but these are some of the best. Updated June 23, 2022 by Hilton Webster: It has been long-awaited, but finally a sequel is confirmed to be in development. There's nothing quite like Dragon's Dogma - people keep saying it, but it's true, and that's why the fanbase is so elated to finally know it's coming. It's hard to tell exactly what makes Dragon's Dogma what it is, but having a great many classes, like the Magick Archer, has to be one of them. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Perdition
Perdition is an interesting skill. Though exclusive to Magick Archer, it can't be cast with daggers or a bow, only a staff. As such, it is cast like most other staff spells - a charge time before it is unleashed, placing a sigil of fog on the ground. Perdition's fog has a chance of causing curse on enemies, the chance increasing the longer they remain within it. Though it deals no damage, curse itself is an incredibly potent status effect, reducing strength, defense and stamina, and even causes a slight slowdown as it attempts to curse enemies. Vortex Trail
Vortex Trail is arguably one of the best Magick Archer skills. It deals no damage whatsoever, nor does it inflict any status effects. Instead, it functions like an anchor, dragging everything within range towards it, and is pretty much inescapable. This makes it easier to trap enemies in damaging fogs or area-of-effect spells, but also some tactical play. Shoot it by a cliff edge to drag enemies off it, or attach it to a larger enemy and let the friendly fire finish them off. It links so well into every other move, and even helps your pawns too. Sunflare
The great benefit of daggers in Dragon's Dogma is the absolute speed they hit with, letting you get in a series of hits and back out of danger all in an instant. Sunflare is a great compliment to this, allowing you to dive into the fray from nowhere and deal devastating damage. Sunflare has you leaping into the air and coating your daggers in flame, before plunging them into the ground. The flame pillar that spawns is quite precise, but has great power behind it. Funny enough, Sunflare is also great for traversal, due to the height and length it lets you travel before landing. Instant Reset
You are not going to land all of your hits in Dragon's Dogma unless you have inhuman reflexes. When you miss an attack, it can mean death if the enemy is strong enough. Thankfully, there is a skill that can make missing attacks less painful. Instant Reset is a dagger skill that will immediately end your current animation and cancel out negative status effects on you, such as staggers or knockdowns. You can use this skill to recover after a missed strike, immediately end a knockdown effect, or cleverly use it in conjunction with multiple jumps to traverse massive gaps in the environment. Ninefold Bolt
Few video games allow players to fire multiple arrows in a single bow shot. Dragon's Dogma might be the only one that allows you to fire nine at once. Yes, you read that right. Ninefold Bolt fires nine ice bolts at the target at once. Not only does it look beautiful, but it deals a considerable amount of damage as well. If an enemy has low ice resistance, this bolt can kill them in a few strikes. You will need a Magick Bowman's Ring or Band to use this skill, but the gear requirement is well worth the damage this bolt can dish out. Great Sacrifice
Archery is one of the most powerful playstyles in Dragon's Dogma, thanks to its large array of skills and scaling. If that scaling isn't enough to kill someone, why not sacrifice a companion? Great Sacrifice takes a pawn's life to supercharge your next shot, while slowing time. This arrow deals huge dark damage, and knocks back nearly every foe in the game. Creating pawns is an easy process, but having to get new pawns every time you use this skill can get annoying. As a result, only use this as a last resort or when you know this will kill a boss you've been stuck on. Threefold Bolt
One of the first skills Magick Archers learn, Threefold Bolt fires three ice arrows towards your target. It fires in a spread, before honing in on where you aimed. It isn't as strong as Ninefold Bolt, but it also doesn't require an upgrade . This basic ability is fantastic against enemies weak to ice, but does considerably less damage to those resistant to ice. This skill is pretty powerful for basic enemies or when you are starting out as a Magick Archer, until you upgrade it to Sixfold Bolt later on. Scension
Magick Archers are known for having rather low health pools, resulting in them dying if focused by a tough opponent. Skills like Scension can make these scenarios easier to deal with. Scension is a dagger skill that sends forth a shockwave to damage enemies in a small radius. The damage you deal is then returned to you as life, giving this ability a lifesteal property that can be invaluable in battles against clusters of foes. Seeker Bolt
Seeker Bolt is mandatory for any good Magick Archer build. Seeker Bolt deals holy damage to up to five foes at a time, tracking targets through the air and dealing reasonable knockdown. Besides dealing holy damage, the auto-lock nature of this skill makes it fantastic at long ranges and against fast-moving targets. Seeker Bolt can target multiple limbs on a target as well, letting you get five shots that are guaranteed to land for holy damage on bosses or large foes. Thousand Kisses
Daggers are typically associated with stealth gameplay in most titles, but Dragon's Dogma is . In this game, daggers are rapid-attacking damage machines. Thousand Kisses unleashes a flurry of blows with your daggers, dual-striking targets per blow for good damage. You can chain this skill with itself for no additional stamina cost, making this great for staggering foes or quickly dispatching weaker targets. There are also ground finishers you can do with this, resulting in a roundhouse kick to knockdown enemies. If it misses, use the previously mentioned Instant Reset to get back into the fight. Immolation
Getting swarmed in Dragon's Dogma can mean a quick death if you can't rapidly take down the opposition. Skills like Immolation can help even the odds with its great area damage. Immolation is a fire skill that ignites you, dealing blunt damage to enemies that get near you while also having a chance of burning them. You lose hit points while this is active, but skills like Scension can make this skill easier to manage. If it gets too hard to handle, simply jump to end this ability early. Great Ward Arrow
Since you can utilize Magick in your arrows and abilities, you can grant buffs to allies instead of dealing damage to your enemies. Great Ward Arrow is a fantastic support ability that grants the Impervious status effect to all allies you hit for 135 seconds. It can target your whole team at once, granting everyone excluding you the status effect. As for the Impervious effect itself, it makes you immune to nearly every negative status effect in the game, excluding unconsciousness. Burning, blind, sleep, and lowered stats are a thing of the past with this buff active. Ricochet Hunter
When you are in a cramped interior in Dragon's Dogma, few skills can compete with Ricochet Hunter. This fantastic skill grants bonus damage to your bolt the longer it ricochets. It fires three lighting-infused bolts that ricochet off walls. This skill can ricochet up to twenty times, granting a damage bonus for every bounce. When used indoors, this skill can kill most targets in just a few bolts. The bolts can also track targets around corners or areas the player cannot see, meaning it can clear ambushes on its own. Few skills are as useful and powerful as Ricochet Hunter.
