While Mystic Knight is Lawful of the magic classes, bestowing strong defense and preparation, Magick Archer is pure Chaotic as he lights himself on fire and charges at you with murderous intent.
I agree. On another note, Mystic Knight's combination of Abyssal Anguish and and Blitz Strike (Evolved Burst Strike through ring item) is one of its most powerful skill combinations, even more painful if you have a sorcerer pawn with the High Fulmination spell casted to you, and it even makes the boss enemies stagger more often than what other melee vocations can do. I remember farming the cursed dragon using only the Flame Enchantment spell and Great Cannon. The dragon just kept falling down and wasn't able to do anything lol. Although I did have to take the sorcerer's augment that lessens cast time.
My favorite part of magic archer is how it locks on to enemies. I don't have the best PC, and I'm not the most perceptive person, so spotting enemies can be tough. But with Magic Archer, I can just pull out my bow and enemies will be highlighted before they even see me. Magic Archer is one of the best classes for night time combat, because you don't have to be able to see an enemy to fight them effectively. With Hunter Bolt marking enemies and staying on them even after they move out of your sights, you become amazing at dealing with harpies and wolves in the dark, wide open fields of Gransys. Combined with Great Ward Arrow protecting your party from getting wet or cursed and Sunflare + Instant Reset allowing you to jump to incredible heights, Magic Archer is the best exploration character in the whole game. Heck, there's even a magic bow that makes you auto-heal when sheathed, all the way to full health, so you can travel solo and never need to use healing items except in emergencies, cause you'll be topped off between every fight - just switch to the bow when you're hurt and switch back after. Magic Archer is amazing! (Sorcerer comes in a close second though - Maelstrom is probably even better than Hunter Bolt for fighting enemies you can't see.)
@@kilivanjg2813 I don't tend to worry too much about optimizing gains but my general suggestion would be some time on Sorcerer to boost your magic damage.
Assassin married Ranger = Strider Strider married Mage or Scocerer = Magick Archer ❤. Magick Archer is the best all in one vocations in Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen ❤
I just LOVE the light arrow in caves, the looks of firing it inside a dark zombie infected dungeon adds to the game's atmosphere, same vibes as the hobbits using the light of elendil in the darkest places of mordor's walls
8:11 In defense of Magical gleam... It can one shot ghosts. And it lets you light up large areas, making traveling at night much easier and safer even without a lantern, not to mention exploring dark dungeons. It can also blind the enemies, so that's nice too
Just in time for the new year! I hope all of you have had the happiest of holidays! My birthday is coming up so I'm gonna be a little busy for a bit, but I'll be sure to finally round off the guides with Assassin as soon as I can! It's crazy to think I started this series almost a full year ago, and I feel like I've come a long way since then. Once again I'm immensely thankful for this incredibly supportive and friendly community! I wouldn't be out here making these videos if not for all of you. Here's to making 2023 a bright year of boundless new experiences!
High Perdition can be really nasty if you use it with a Rusted or Golden Staff. That way you can Curse something while also inflicting Torpor or Silence at the same time.
Thanks bro, I just started playing this for about half a year and ended up picking the M archer because I thought he was the coolest but I had no idea how to use him until now, I appreciate this video you made, extremely helpful
Just started playing the game a few days ago and I went with mage thanks to watching one of your class guide videos! I thought I was going to be able to do maelstrom & rain down meteors but realized soon after I had chosen the wrong class lol, but I am still enjoying it none the less & will eventually change vocations when I deem it the right time or if I run into any issues but so far so good! Anyways my man, you have earned yourself a new subscriber & I think the effort you put into your videos should land you wayyy, way more subs than you currently have. I believe once Dragons Dogma 2 comes out and if you make class videos such as these for the new game you will get all those subs you so greatly deserve brother! Keep it up and thank you for the great content ❤😛
haha sick video dude. love the silliness while also delivering important info effectively. i plan on replaying this game and this made me decide i’ll do an MA build.
amazing beginner class. beat the game pretty easy on my first run. ricochet is just overpowered in dungeons where you can stack up multiple shots bouncing around in a tight space. also immolation while climbing is a must have.
Even tho I know pretty much everything about this game I still like watching other people play the game since it’s so underrated and I love showing my support to other fellow Arisens ❤
One thing to note about solar flare is the melee portion can strike enemies multiple times, it can inflict debilitations faster. Also hunter bolt does HOLY damage. Yknow what's weak to holy damage? The damn Ur dragon! You can cheese that boss so easily with this one skill and some mushrooms.
I just started playing dragon dogma and the moment i can use magic archer and have that glorious seeking arrow it feels so good to me since i love ace combat so much 😭✨, wasnt expecting you mention ace combat too in the begining of the video XD also great video man thankyou.
@@ThiefofCrystals I got the game 2 weeks ago. I'm already level 107. I've been killing through BBI. Killed the Priest and Cursed Dragon combo 4 days ago. Been considering heading to Hard Mode, but I'm afraid of losing my appreciation for it. I have issues as it is, and I'm using Dragons Dogma as a Side Game for when Elden Ring or Dark Souls irritates me. Would be silly to use a Hard Game as a side game for a Hard Game.
Happy New Year, my vocation for this current playthrough is magick archer, sunflare while not totally deal a big chunk damage is it still useful and I recommend especially when traversing BBI there's certain area you can climb up to or gives you an edge does the other vocation may find difficult to reach and combine with Instant Reset you can get more distance like jump, sunflare, instant reset, jump again then sunflare or double jump instant reset then sunflare, and Immolation is the best skill the magick archer has to offer pair it with BBI augment and you breeze through BBI easily, yeah magickal gleam is useless imo but you can cheese Death with it 🤣🤣🤣🤣, Ricochet is broken af pair it with magick rebalancer and get amaze by the hilarious big chunk of damage you deal to the enemy
My hope is that DD2 will include some of the vocations from the mmorpg like alchemist or spirit lancer. The amount of new skills and stuff to play with in DD2 is exciting already.
Spittin' facts, Alchemist was probably the most fun I've had with a vocation and I only got to play it for like half an hour. Had my pawn on Spirit Lancer and that was insanely sick too. Would be really cool to see others like High Sceptre return too, along with upgraded versions of classic vocations (I've heard people speak VERY highly of DDO Warrior.) I'm hopeful they'll all return though, along with brand new vocations. Itsuno may be hinting at a katana vocation given he's been studying them, and given how he treats DMC (constant references and respect for the first game even though he didn't direct it, utilizing even elements of DmC: DMC to make DMC5 as good as possible) I'd fully anticipate that he would utilize those vocations despite not actually being involved with DDO.
@@ThiefofCrystals I’ve sadly only seen videos of alchemist and spirit lancer, missed my chance to play that game (though from what I seen of the folks dedicated to preserving it I may get to when they get done) The warrior had a lot going on in DDO from all I’ve watched and perhaps DD2 will allow for two arisen to coop together(but with their own pawns to keep it at four) Also, I’m not sure if you mentioned it, but magic rebalancer applies a magic attack down debuff. Currently playing now and it worked on the poisoned undead and gargantuan skeletons. If it works on virid frost dragons that’ll be handy. (Edit: doesn’t affect azure frost dragons…worth trying)
@@NoobMaster10700 there was in Japan. I believe a dedicated group of fans are working on a English translation and getting the game to work again after it got shut down. But I haven’t heard much from that in months.
This is my favorite class. Its ability to do everything but tank is just beautiful 😍 I really enjoy the combos you can pull off, especially with rebalance and immolation in combination with explosive rivet and vortex shot can wipe out hordes of enemies, even on hard mode. I haven't really goten into BBi yet, ive beaten the giant gazer but thats about it really, i get lost too easy, i hate mazes 😢 Id say, the only enemy i really die to is the gorecyclops and gorechimeras, but the latter is only when i forget i have healing potions 😂
Magick Archer has to be the biggest Bitterblack bully. Ricochet Seeker? More like Win-Button. Wanna one-shot a Living Armor? Ninefold Bolt does that for you. I built a max magic Magick Archer once and it's absolutely stupid how powerful that is.
Been a few years so correct me if I'm wrong, but if you level as a sorcerer from 10-200 you maximize your magick and then you max vocation with assassin and get an ability that makes you even more powerful when you don't have any pawns.
Just recently started playing dragon's dogma. After your videos, I chose Strider. I'm really looking forward to the video about the assassin, since I now have 20 lvl and I can't decide whether to take the assassin(
I am looking to revisit DD1 while waiting to afford DD2 and I will try this vocation purely based on your video…. And Immolation I was wetting myself for that section!
Came for the MA tips, left wanting your Arisen sliders lol! Top guide, but really, what are the sliders? That is the nicest male Arisen I've ever seen.
Lmao well I've never actually attempted to share sliders before but, since there seems to be some amount of interest in this I can give it a go! Ironically, I feel like my old console Arisen looked better but I never quite managed to replicate that on PC due to forgetting all the details. Anyway, I'll drop the numbers here: (If I don't note a slider, assume it's set to default in the middle) - HEAD - HAIRSTYLE - 01 FACE SHAPE - 39 EYES - 04 (Sliders - Spacing: slightly narrow, Size: slightly large) BROWS - 33 (Sliders - Vertical Position: slightly down) NOSE - 04 MOUTH - 27 EARS - 05 (Sliders - Position: slightly forward) - BODY - HEIGHT: Just one adjustment from the center towards short WEIGHT: Slightly slim MUSCULATURE: Slightly skinny TORSO - 10 ARMS - 02 LEGS - 07 STANCE - (Posture: slightly imposing, Stance: slightly ladylike) - FEATURES - SCARS - 01 WRINKLES: Fully shallow FACIAL HAIR: 29 MAKEUP: 02 - COLORS - HAIR: Brown (Top row, second from the left) (Facial hair is the same, eyebrows are darker - top row, dead in the middle) SKIN: Light (Top row, second from the right) MAKEUP: Deep grey/black (Top right corner) EYES: Reddish amber (5th row down, far left) (Incidentally, Voice: Type 1) Of course, adjust as you like. Now you too can create your very own Theefy! ❤
Amazing! You, ser, are a scholar and a gentleman! I'm trying to do one last run before DD2 and wanted to make it a completionist but just realised I missed a load of early missable quests so will have to start over and you Theefy have just given me the extra motivation I need! Now it's not going to be a slog because I get to use your outstanding Arisen instead of the slight borked goofy guy I always end up with lmao! If I had a hat, I would tip it for you! Thanks! @@ThiefofCrystals
I'm playing DDDA on my Switch Lite since bought it's several days ago from Eshop, only $4.99 but the value is top notch. I hooked with this game. It's graphics, animation & performance also very good on Nintendo Switch ❤

The Ace Combat reference earned my like less than 3 minutes in. If you haven't played Ace Combat, do so. It's incredibly fun even if you don't like flight sims.
Well, as I stated when I had free time to visit this video I would. That Agnus drop out of nowhere, respect brother. But you did a good job covering a lot of the classes unique flavor.
Happy new year TRAITOR/giga chad brethren, I love the vids and ur getting really good at editing these, they that good that I might even try the game one day
Immolation... I don't care what game it is. You are pouring gas on yourself and lighting up then proceeding to hug the nearest asshat that needs to burn. If that ain't terrifying I dunno what is.
I have a question, should I build other classes before taking on this one? Like is there a proper path to stats for this? Or just choose it and level up
So normally I'd say don't worry too much but MA is notoriously bad to level stats with so I'd say do a bit of Sorcerer for some levels to at least get your magic up and then go for it
@@ThiefofCrystals didn't even realise until now you use it across multiple vids! 10/10 for the content and music choices. 11/10 for the nostalgia trip. Arrogance was always beast!
I have a question that I cant get an answer for on ANY of the videos I watch. I'm a Strider and want to eventually change to a magic archer. WHEN should I change my vocation, and should I change dir3ctly to magic archer or should I choose a mage class first? 8 don't really understand how they cross over if at all. If I choose mage first, does it unlock abilities for my magic archer right away and do my strider abilities cross over as well? Or does it not matter and I can choose to switch whenever I want to? I'm surprised nobody talks about this for new players like myself who doesn't quite understand the vocation system yet. All I see in these videos are, if you choose this class then you can do these cool moves, WOW, awesome right? Lol it doesnt really help because I can just look at the list and see the abilities for myself, doesnt help me plan out my build at all. If anyone can answer this for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks! 👍😉
That's because "planning a build" is frankly such a tertiary thing in this game. As a new player you're placing far too much stock in the idea of min/maxing when raw levels tend to make you immensely powerful in the first place. If you REALLY have to know, to get the most out of MA or any magically-focused vocation you're going to want to level Sorcerer for 100 levels for maximum magick attack gains but your health, defense, and stamina gains will all be comparatively abysmal so you'll be at something of a disadvantage should you try a melee vocation at some point, so if you want flexibility at least level Sorcerer for like 50 and swap to something like MA for defensive growths. Or you can just play the game normally and have fun. Stat Growths are of course a thing you could have simply looked up on the wiki though so I guess this doesn't really help right? This comment kinda rubbed me the wrong way. As someone who admits they're new you're assuming a guide that covers the finer details about skills (the actually important stuff) just isn't helpful because you can always look at a brief summary that doesn't cover the whole picture (and is sometimes actually inaccurate.) I'm here to cover the how and why. I try to explain the function and purpose of what each vocation has to offer. Try not to worry about the numbers so much.
Ace Combat is a great game but it’s too hard for me lol. I did have to correct you on Sunflare, you didn’t recommend that skill and I have to say it’s night day better on the upgraded skill (whatever it’s called). The range is better anyway and it WRECKS. Unlike most magic skills, it’s QUICK and costs LOW stamina, so spamming it is ruthless in a mob. Compare that fire skill to Ingle and you’ll see the difference: you’re trading speed for the slow wind up most sorcerers and mages have to deal with. That’s what’s good about this class: it’s a quick (mostly) set of skills you can pull out in actual CQC combat. Unlike a sorcerer who needs to keep range for the most part to be effective, especially being squishy, MA as a lot of quick skills along with some charged up, ranged skills like the bow spells. Anyway: don’t sleep on Solar Flare. Upgrade it and get used to using it (I watched a lot of Nihil.0. videos and he convinced me). It’s a great skill and the damage scaled.

Of course, adjust as you like. Now you too can create your very own Theefy! ❤
Amazing! You, ser, are a scholar and a gentleman! I'm trying to do one last run before DD2 and wanted to make it a completionist but just realised I missed a load of early missable quests so will have to start over and you Theefy have just given me the extra motivation I need! Now it's not going to be a slog because I get to use your outstanding Arisen instead of the slight borked goofy guy I always end up with lmao! If I had a hat, I would tip it for you! Thanks! @@ThiefofCrystals
@@Silkensmum Very glad to be of service! And best of luck on your adventures - both here, and in DD2!
The graphic looks better then Starfield and Skull and Bones. That say something!
I'm playing DDDA on my Switch Lite since bought it's several days ago from Eshop, only $4.99 but the value is top notch. I hooked with this game. It's graphics, animation & performance also very good on Nintendo Switch ❤
Dragon's Dogma AND Ace Combat?
Yep, I'm subbed
Three old 80s dungeons and dragons cartoon had an archer with a magic bow that fitted magic arrows
Assassin married Ranger = Strider
Strider married Mage or Scocerer = Magick Archer ❤. Magick Archer is the best all in one vocations in Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen ❤
The Ace Combat reference earned my like less than 3 minutes in.
If you haven't played Ace Combat, do so. It's incredibly fun even if you don't like flight sims.
Ace combat 4: Shattered skies. Changed my brain chemistry!
Amazing callback.
Dragons Dogma 2 is here! This video is so good btw
I've got a trailer breakdown incoming!
When someone said magik archer is basically just a Quincy from bleach I was sold
Well, as I stated when I had free time to visit this video I would. That Agnus drop out of nowhere, respect brother. But you did a good job covering a lot of the classes unique flavor.
my favorite vocation in the game next to assassin so fun!
amazing work my man keep at it
0:53 what's the music here called?
Edit: Nevermind, found it. Knew I heard it before lol, Feel No Fear from Chaos Legion :)
I like how the weapon, Magian Crutch, implies that the Magick Archer is a failed mage/sorcerer.
That's actually pretty funny! I like the idea that MA dropped out of magic school and said "fuck it, I'm doing my own thing"
Great video bro. What is that music at 12:00 minute mark??
Magick archer turns BBI into baby mode.
Eventually thief stopped thinking
Interesting and entertaining, glad you're back! (I know, I'm late :P)
Hopefully we get to go to the mainland and also have more classes like alchemist
0:35 a magic archer is clearly a card in clash Royale he harhar ha ha
Yeah, I found myself watching all these videos just for your voice. Easily.
😉
Happy new year TRAITOR/giga chad brethren, I love the vids and ur getting really good at editing these, they that good that I might even try the game one day
Thanks Theefy, you look great too!
this video was great
your great
i love you
happy new year
immolation’s perfect use is when you’re actually mad at an enemy and want them to suffer even if it costs you everything 😮💨🔥
Magical gleam when leveling off death is awesome...
Magical gleam seal had me dead 8:11
You do have a great voice great sir
Shadowshackle creates a shidgle
Magick Archer is an innately Anti-Ninja class, as Immolation proves. After all, Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire.
I was not expecting the music from Lethal League 😳
Immolation... I don't care what game it is. You are pouring gas on yourself and lighting up then proceeding to hug the nearest asshat that needs to burn. If that ain't terrifying I dunno what is.
im late to the party here but did you use the Aeon theme from Wrath of the Righteous for the outro? i absolutely love that game and that track!
That I did
I have a question, should I build other classes before taking on this one? Like is there a proper path to stats for this? Or just choose it and level up
So normally I'd say don't worry too much but MA is notoriously bad to level stats with so I'd say do a bit of Sorcerer for some levels to at least get your magic up and then go for it
Hey I just wanted to say that Magical Gleam is amazing at stun locking the Wights
...Damn that could actually be kinda useful
Skills curse. Very useful. .-. Now to look up what a curse is
Curse lowers the strength, defense, and stamina of the afflicted. Worth noting larger enemies tend to be more resistant to debilitations in general.
@@ThiefofCrystals thanks, ima sub since you’re awesome and I’m getting real into dragons dogma RN
I appreciate the Chaos Legion OST ❤
Hell yea, the OST slaps 👏
@@ThiefofCrystals didn't even realise until now you use it across multiple vids! 10/10 for the content and music choices. 11/10 for the nostalgia trip. Arrogance was always beast!
That Ace combat nostalgia just won you a subscriber, Shattered sky's/Distant thunder vet.
Flame-on works with conqueror's periapt??? Theefy, if I don't break my ribs from laughing too hard, I always learn something new.
You were the fist only guy?
That's me!
BEST Job in Dragon's Dogma, simple as that 8D
2:30 was song is that
Also very helpful video ❤
I just started play DD1, my prefer class is always attack mobs from a distance, so i always pick mage/bowman class. M archer is best of both world.
I have a question that I cant get an answer for on ANY of the videos I watch. I'm a Strider and want to eventually change to a magic archer. WHEN should I change my vocation, and should I change dir3ctly to magic archer or should I choose a mage class first? 8 don't really understand how they cross over if at all. If I choose mage first, does it unlock abilities for my magic archer right away and do my strider abilities cross over as well? Or does it not matter and I can choose to switch whenever I want to? I'm surprised nobody talks about this for new players like myself who doesn't quite understand the vocation system yet. All I see in these videos are, if you choose this class then you can do these cool moves, WOW, awesome right? Lol it doesnt really help because I can just look at the list and see the abilities for myself, doesnt help me plan out my build at all. If anyone can answer this for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks! 👍😉
That's because "planning a build" is frankly such a tertiary thing in this game. As a new player you're placing far too much stock in the idea of min/maxing when raw levels tend to make you immensely powerful in the first place. If you REALLY have to know, to get the most out of MA or any magically-focused vocation you're going to want to level Sorcerer for 100 levels for maximum magick attack gains but your health, defense, and stamina gains will all be comparatively abysmal so you'll be at something of a disadvantage should you try a melee vocation at some point, so if you want flexibility at least level Sorcerer for like 50 and swap to something like MA for defensive growths. Or you can just play the game normally and have fun.
Stat Growths are of course a thing you could have simply looked up on the wiki though so I guess this doesn't really help right? This comment kinda rubbed me the wrong way. As someone who admits they're new you're assuming a guide that covers the finer details about skills (the actually important stuff) just isn't helpful because you can always look at a brief summary that doesn't cover the whole picture (and is sometimes actually inaccurate.) I'm here to cover the how and why. I try to explain the function and purpose of what each vocation has to offer. Try not to worry about the numbers so much.
My Magickal Gleam does dmg to living targets, unless its a glitch or someone. I have the base game and no updates if there is any.
Theefy still waiting for the assassin guide
Working on it as we speak!
@@ThiefofCrystals awesome! cant wait
That means the explosive rivets can be activated by immolation correct?
Anybody know the song that played during the Dagger section of the video?
Love that ace combat cameo
Ace Combat is a great game but it’s too hard for me lol.
I did have to correct you on Sunflare, you didn’t recommend that skill and I have to say it’s night day better on the upgraded skill (whatever it’s called). The range is better anyway and it WRECKS. Unlike most magic skills, it’s QUICK and costs LOW stamina, so spamming it is ruthless in a mob.
Compare that fire skill to Ingle and you’ll see the difference: you’re trading speed for the slow wind up most sorcerers and mages have to deal with.
That’s what’s good about this class: it’s a quick (mostly) set of skills you can pull out in actual CQC combat.
Unlike a sorcerer who needs to keep range for the most part to be effective, especially being squishy, MA as a lot of quick skills along with some charged up, ranged skills like the bow spells.
Anyway: don’t sleep on Solar Flare. Upgrade it and get used to using it (I watched a lot of Nihil.0. videos and he convinced me). It’s a great skill and the damage scaled.
