Started a good week ago and was pleasantly surprised to see a healthy dd community on KZfaq.

Mystic Knight is by far my favorite vocation, but I had no friggin' idea what I was doing at first. The "BALL" joke regarding Great Cannon honestly summarizes how I felt about many of their skills: "Oh, cool," then moved on to Magick Archer. But once I got used to the gamer energy that is Mystic Knight, boy did I love them. The ability to be a tanky PoS with a blend of magic and steel feels fantastic, and I would recommend people try all vocations for similar reasons. They are all fun, in their own ways.

So we can say that Mystic Knight is the Epic Gamer of all vocations. Some fun things to note, from an 8-year MK main! Thunder Riposte can even be used to counter ballista fire. It targets the shooter. Range doesn't matter. Yeah. Vortex Sigil gets an upgrade ring to turn it into Maelstrom Sigil. It's just as useless. Though uh. You need a hug towards the end of that segment...? Sky Rapture benefits from the Eminence augment for a damage boost. Great Cannon's physical damage depends on your weapon rather than your total strength stat. Stone Forest... Uhh. Well you'll always be a certified cool guy in my heart. Demonswrath seems to charge faster on hard mode. Now I wonder why that is! Try using Blitz Strike (ring upgrade, not Burst Strike) with Abyssal Anguish. Have fun~ Every shield enchantment makes perfect blocking easier, not just Holy Grace! The ring upgrade for Holy Furor makes it so that, when it ends, your party is left with 1 stamina point instead of being totally drained. But that's a 3-stage cast for a spell that does, like, no damage. So. In general, using perma-enchanted weapons will get you way more damage with Cannon/Sigil than enchanting a raw damage weapon. Just make sure it's fully enhanced for maximum shenanigans. Speaking of shenanigans, this video was just as good as the rest in terms of information and wit. Looking forward to seeing you tackle my least played vocation XD

RIP mystic knight :(

"then you can't come over to my house, and i have bionicle"

Sopor is actually a fantastic spell. If paired with a high damage pawn like ranger or sorcerer, you can annihilate garms or elder ogres at around level 20.

Mannnnn these guides are great. Good quality editing, top tier memeology, and a developed understanding of the vaguely defined game mechanics. I eagerly await the next video!

Mystic knight is definitely what I'd consider the most "balanced" and "cohesive" powerful class. It is just SOO GOOD.

YES! I have been waiting for this. I have started playing dragons dogma and am playing as a mystic knight so this is perfect. I saw you had other tutorials on the other vocations but i have been waiting for a mystic knight one.

Fun fact with the perfect block with the lightning element. When perfect blocking the bolt from the ballista, the lightning will strike the ballista user from almost any distance

Bro, I'm so glad I gave this game a try... I mean, it turned down to be not only a great game but one of my favorite games EVER. Probably the best action-rpg game along with Elden Ring in my opinion. I'm going to "platinum" all of your DD:DA videos. 😁 Great video!!

I absolutely love your videos. Binged all the vocation guides, please keep going with the rest, your content is gold!

Great video, just found your channel. You’ve convinced me to use mystic knight in our playthrough !

Your guides are amazing! I’m playing DD:DA for the first time, and I haven’t had so much fun with a game in a long time. I can’t wait to try all the vocations 😍

Welcome back! Hope all is well! And also, I would love to see some pathfinder videos somewhere around here...

Up at 5 am in the Uk and I see this legend post a video of one of my favourite classes. Been playing this game since ps3 days and I’ve learnt some shit I never knew throughout those years from your vids. Keep up the great content man.

Great video . Also another skill that’s underrated in mystic knight is in the staff abilities called High Sopor . Which I used them against a lot of enemies in bbi while casting it my pawns finished off two elder ogres . Anyways great video .

I think this is the greatest breakdown ever!!!! you have my sub for life

Thanks for this vids bro. Waited to level 30 to change vocations because I forgot about them.

You know a video is gold when there is a cut in the middle and it starts with "It's 3AM".

This video made me laugh so much 😂 Defo my favourite class/build I’ve ever played in any RPG, I always try and recreate it in other games but miss the hitty magic ball of projectile death

I haven't played this game in ages but these guides make me wanna take another crack at it

Never played mystic knight and while it does look good im massively looking forward to your Magick Archer one as thats my current class having realised how insanely broken it is! It is SOOOO much fun! Obviously you'll be reviewing it when you can but im pretty much expecting Grand Scension, Shadowshackle and Magic Rebalancer to feature quite highly and Sixfold Bolt, Ricochet Hunter and Explosive Rivet on the bow side of things. Magic Rebalancer in particular is incorrectly named as its an unbalancer as when u cast it four times on the bounce it stacks and ramps your magic attacks up to an awesome level! Grand Scension is great for healing yourself esp when u have the Archers "regeneration" augment on too, although the instaheal of curatives and Scensions top ups can mean u could effectively use that slot for something else whilst your a MA. And as for Ricochet Hunter? Going to the catacombs? Want a ludicrous CQB weapon that looks like a deadly disco? This is for you! Not sure if i can share links on here but i do have a video on my channel showing how awesome ricochet hunter is in confined spaces! Sixfold is ice based so great for saurians, drakes etc, explosive rivet is fire based so is great for snow harpies, ogres etc and ricochet is lightning based so has a bit of oomph against cyclops. Great to see u back chap, hope your cough clears up soon! And hopefully youre more back to "you", if not fully there, dont worry, it cant take a while sometimes but the quest is worth it when u find the happiness you were after. 😀

I'm so happy! I don't know how I missed this. I agree. I eventually learned that ball was boring after farming the soldiers at the castle.

He's back with the guides

Great video as always

Got into this last week and man, I am loving this game. I enjoyed Greatsword max as well, but currently I am a Strider (Zidane hype), but soon trying Mystic knight. I know vanilla is def the way to go, but ever since getting into the modding community, that I can mismatch primary, secondary...I want to try Mystic Thief with invisible shields lol...Thanks for the great content!

Wow it makes me want to try this class

Praise be upon us 🙏🙏!! The boi is back

I'm playing the DDO beta on the private server and I was looking for a tutorial like this, thx

Un gran personaje, me encanta la idea de ser un caballero casual, pero al tener las habilidades mágicas le da un plus, que te hace sentir más completo

Yay you're back! Hope you are doing a bit better! I wish I could make my pawn a mystic knight. I did try a run with mystic knight but I just couldn't utilise it fully which is a shame as I really enjoyed it.....basically, I fail at blocking for some of the skills!!!

I've been waiting for this

I feel kinda special for being a fan of this niche game but also sad that no one gives a sh* to this masterpiece. And thanks for this video . I've been playing this game for quite a while but only now I'm considering playing as mystic knight . I thought I was low IQ for this vocation, even though I'm at level 114 rn

Thank this is just what I needed, more great content.

i always go magick archer when i make a new character but im going to try this build now seems fun

While I run around mainly with a mace in this build, I do have a back-up staff. Sometimes on Bitterblack you just need a bit of cheese, and Sopor absolutely dunks on the triple Garm invaders, while Holy Bolts takes care of annoying flying Dragons and especially Cursed Dragons. That last one is especially funny when you fire it from the safety of a doorway and it just tracks and annihilates the dragon with no danger to you. As for the Garm, I tend to switch back to my mace after Sopor tuckered them out and fire off a Stone Forest or something to wake them up violently, rinse and repeat til victory.

How did you level to mystic knight? Start as fighter then go to mystic knight? What levels in which job? Thank you! Love the video.

I just recently started playing Dragon's Dogma for the first time, and I've been having a ton of fun with the Mystic Knight. My current favorite combo is to 1) enchant my pawns and myself, usually with Holy, then 2) pop down one or two Magick/Great Cannons, and 3) waste the rest of my stamina by spamming Tusk/Antler Toss. So very many little balls flying everywhere, it's hilarious. I did not realize that Dark/Abyssal Anguish added extra hits, so thank you for that tidbit. I'll have to try and implement that now.

What I like about this vid is the fact that you make notes on the other skills instead of just the great balls i mean cannon ability lol. I almost wish cannon was a legit mega blast like guts cannon is with a CD or something and element of your choice.

I love Mystic Knight and Magick Archer tbh i love how similar the concept of Magic Empowered fighter but how differently they play

I like ball just for flying enemies. Homing makes it easy to

Love this game 🐉

Great video!

Can't wait for my favorite class, Magic "Easy mode" Archer

Love your guides! I used to play this game when I was a kid and now I realise I played it wrong....I don't even know how I managed to beat the dragon...

This is the one class I just couldn't force myself to get into.

Us weird people who like to use this class as a caster with a staff have a word for you Brontide, but instead of jumping to release the lightning strikes around you a perfect block with a riposte enchantment on the shield. It can actually be quite fun.

I know i m a bit late but could you share the sliders for this character? It looks awesome Great video man

Keep it up my guy 😎💯

HES BACK lmao just in time im playing DD again

5 month cough? You gots the 'rona Great video as always

I love Furi soundtrack at the beginning ❤

Lol you made me want to play this class now 🤣

I'm so glad that someone is still making guides for this game. Just picked it up and these have been great for making me realize that "big dude with a big sword" isn't the only way I want to play. New dilemma.. I want to play everything now! Can't wait for an assassin guide. I don't know anything about the class but I'm really enjoying the melee side of Strider and I'm assuming Assassin expands on that.

Yay a new Guide awesome

He's back babyyyyyyyy

I kinda agree that using great cannon is cheesing the game and can ruin the challenge, but the true art of mystic knight is building traps with Cannon, sigil and (holy) riposte, luring your enemies in and obliterating them

Can i use magic with the sword or is Just for staff cause i see you with a sword using spells and all i can do is parry abilitys cause other ones are for staff

No idea if you got inspired by Kevduit ESO videos, but you both have that highly enjoyable flow in doing the narrative of your vids. You are more focused/technique oriented, Kevduit was more insane in his ESO stuff but the vibe of great combination of fun and educational content is alike and awesome! Cheers!

mistyc knight is the parry god of the game, You prepare, you set up, but all you have to do in the end is just one perfect block to wipe any bosses in the game

5:43 to be fair though, those hob-goblins are far more powerful than a regular goblin!

Great music choice my friend. Have you played wrath of the righteous?

By the gods I love this game. I played it back on 360 when it was free on it but I never touched Mystic Knight.

😆 I just changed my vocation to Mystic Knight after reaching level 25 today…I bought this game back in 2018 from the PlayStation store and forgot all about it until a few months ago..I can’t believe I had this game for that long in my library and never touched it…it’s the Dark Risen version so it makes it even better….I’m definitely getting part 2 on the 22nd…the game looks like it could be GOTY.

The mage with heavy armor comment 🤣🤣🤣

I am feeling a need to replay it once more and im already torn on what to use, the classes are cool. Done sorcerer twice so its out of question, despite the crazy shit you can do with it. Maybe magic archer again, or mystic knight. This one imo suffers from the limitation of skill slots, you really want to run all shield elemental abilites lol.

Wrath of the Righteous’ - Mystic music!!

i wanna know what stats i should build and what uses what though. like does my magick affect my base attacks or only when i have a enchantment on. does my physical affect the balls etc..

Omg huge subscribe helpful and more importantly, HILARIOUS

Music from Pathfinder is awesome btw

Any tips on perfect blocking

what's the song used around 0:50 called?

Great Canon + ruinous sigil + full moon slash go brrrrrrr

This game still looks fantastic in 4k.

Which weapons we should play as Mystic Knight ? Full physics damages? Or magic weapons?

Could you also recommend armor sets/weapons you think work really well with the builds?

The only shield based augment I like to use is prescience.

isn't Mystic Knight recommended weapon ish the One-handed Mace?

My favorite part was when you lay down a vortex sigil and a goblin just tackles you through it 😂😂

Vortex Sigel does do an alright at it's job, if your using it correctly. It's not meant to stop targets in their track, more to slow them down so you have an easier time to keep them corralled. The issue is... there's many other objectively better ways to do that. Like, why not just, you know, carry a pocket staff for sorpor?

Just beat the game the other day, and I am hating myself for not giving this vocation a try. Not because I wasn't aware of it, but I just figured I'd go through all the archery types first and I'm currently on the Everfall as a Magic Archer and frankly kinda hating it (not sure why people say it's easy mode, I must be doing something wrong because my dps is shit despite the 700+ power weapon I have)

Anyone know if wearing Magnanimous Cloak while using holyheals the whole party?

Ayyyy let's goooo

whirling slash the magic cannon :) it makes a minigun on burst fire

What's the name of the intro song?

As an open-minded individual who loves this game to death, I couldn't get into this class. I was leveling peacefully, and after getting a Strider to max rank I thought, I'm gonna play a MK next so my stats stay balanced, then switch to something like Ranger after I get it to max rank. Switching from Strider's mobility to Mystic Knight's "please sir, I just need to finish this long setup real quickly, then you can hit me so that only *then* I can deal damage to you" just annoyed me. I don't like when reactive classes are too passive, I like my defenses to be more active so that I can use them in the middle of my offense.

Wrath of Righteous songs? Good choice.

What is a good leveling path for the mystic knight?

One problem with this class: NO SHIELD DRUM! this vocation made me want to become the protector tank of my party while my pawn sorcerer and ranger do their big juicy damage from range. Only for me to then buff my shield, Enemies ignore me and run to the lady raining meteors on their head (makes sense to be fair), And now I'm running after enemies trying to get them of friendlies while my shield buffs run out and I can't use them.

I used the same outro music for Magick Archer as I did Mystic Knight I'm sorry for this failure

Surprised I didn't find this in the comments, but the real power of Great Cannon is unlocked by combining it with Ruinous Sigil - the Sigil will proc the Cannon every time it's tripped by an enemy entering it, effectively turning the Cannon into an *automated turret* and leaving you free to engage while it lays down consistent covering fire.

I would like to see a video on how the stats work in DDDA cause i do absolutely no damage with my mistyc knight

Would Great Canon work with the brawler build?

"fucking everyone loves that vocation" Meanwhile me, a Strider/Ranger/Magic Archer main, aka the three vocations that are the most unlike MK XD Fr tho, I've never actually tried MK. It's the one and only vocation I never played in fact. I bought that game as soon as the DA expansion came out, so that was many years ago, but I never played it quite as much as I'd like. I kept getting busy with other stuff, and telling myself that I should wait until I have a lot of free time to just pour hundreds of hours into it, exhausting every quest, every secret, and every vocation, but every time I thought I could get to that, something else would grab my attention for a while. One day though. One day I'll do it, and MK will be the first vocation I (re)play. I'm *very* curious about that gamer zone Cx

As someone that has played Mystic Knight for quite a while, I fully agree about Great Cannon ruining the fun of the class. Despite this, I think everyone should take it, but be more conservative with when they use it. Great Cannon allows pesky flying enemies or mages/archers in out-of-the-way spots to be dealt with easily, and allows you to thin a massive herd of enemies before they get close. It's also split phys/magic and as such can be used to deal with metal golem disks that can't be reached with melee, if you hit the disk in question with an Ingle from a staff first. So yeah, always carry at least one staff with Ingle, and Great Cannon as a tool for fliers and large crowds, but don't rely on it.

How do you get that holy shield ? From the ur dragon or no

i will put this out there in defense of vortex sigil, there is nothing more entertaining than using vortex sigil in the middle if ruinous sigil, every time a gobo gets knocked into the air, that vortex pulls them right back in and repeats the operation.

Hoping they bring this to DD2

Vortex Sigil also seems to only work in a horizontal plane and will do jack shit to that annoying harpy flying just out of melee range.
