The Essential Spells in Dragon's Dogma 2 You Can't Miss

Highlights

  • Levitate opens up new traversal possibilities - available at Mage & Sorcerer Rank 3.
  • High Flagration excels in close combat situations - accessible at Mage Rank 4.
  • Ice/Fire/Lightning Affinity enhances weapons with elemental damage - obtainable at Mage Rank 5.

Dragon's Dogma 2 features magical Vocations that play a pivotal role in players' journeys. The spells wielded by Mages and Sorcerers not only inflict significant damage but also provide vital support to the Arisen and their Pawns in facing formidable adversaries.

Some spells can even be acquired in book form, enabling non-magic Vocations to cast them in emergencies. Here are the must-have spells that every player should equip their Sorcerer or Mage with, or keep handy in book form for survival.

8 Levitate

Ideal for Enhanced Exploration

  • Unlocks at Rank 3 for Mage & Sorcerer

Although Levitate isn't a traditional spell, it allows Mages and Sorcerers to magically elevate themselves, granting access to new heights. This ability is invaluable for traversing the vast world of Dragon's Dogma 2, enabling players to reach previously inaccessible areas. Pawns with Levitate will prompt players to utilize this skill to reach distant locations.

7 High Flagration

Devastating Flamethrower for Close Quarters

  • Unlocks at Rank 4 for the Mage Vocation

High Flagration represents an upgraded version of the Flagration spells available to Mages from the beginning. Upon reaching Rank 4, Mages can enhance this spell to inflict greater damage over an extended duration. This spell is perfect for situations where a player or Pawn finds themselves in close proximity to enemies, allowing them to deal damage in a forward cone while maintaining mobility to evade danger.

6 Ice/Fire/Lightning Affinity

Infuse Weapons with Elemental Power

  • Unlocked at Rank 5 for Mages

Ice, Fire, and Lightning Affinity, available at Rank 5 for Mages, are crucial Weapon Skills that can be unlocked or found in books while adventuring in Dragon's Dogma 2. Each elemental affinity is essential for Mages to possess, as enemies in the game have specific vulnerabilities, whereas Mages and Sorcerers possess diverse elemental spells.

Unlike melee classes, Mages should always have Ice or Fire Affinity ready to enable melee classes to deal elemental damage. Players should consider swapping these affinities based on the upcoming foes they anticipate facing.
