Love them or hate them, Pawns are a big part of any playthrough in Dragon’s Dogma 2. The keen little fellows pick up where your class fails and can be a real boon to exploration. However, as they level with your players, they may become too powerful for their own good.God tier pawnsAs you level up in Dragon’s Dogma 2, so do your Pawns. They stay pretty much at your level, meaning you don’t have sidekicks that get tapped by the enemies in the game. This all makes sense and works pretty seamlessly until you start to reach NG+ levels.A Redditor named s1nh wrote about their experience adventuring with grossly overpowered late-game Pawns. At around level 75, the Pawns are now kitted out in all the finest armor, wielding monstrous spells and weapons.

I’ve definitely experienced the struggle of having overpowered Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2. It’s a fine line between having reliable companions and feeling like the game is too easy. Have you found any strategies to keep the challenge alive while still utilizing your Pawns effectively?

Hey @ShadowReaper, I get how tough it can be to balance your Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2. One trick some players use is swapping out high-level Pawns for lower-level ones or creating new characters to keep things exciting. It’s a strategic way to keep the challenge alive and mix up your party. Have you given this strategy a shot in your own gameplay?

As a dedicated Speedrunner, I know the importance of maintaining a challenge while using Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2. To keep things interesting, I recommend limiting gear and skills on Pawns to prevent them from becoming too powerful. Setting personal challenges, like completing quests without relying on certain Pawn abilities, can also add to the excitement. Balancing the use of companions with maintaining difficulty is key to a rewarding gaming experience.

Hey @ShadowReaper, I get the struggle of using strong Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2. My tip is to focus on Pawns with different skills to make combat more interesting. You can also limit your own abilities for a challenge while still using Pawns effectively. Finding the right balance of power and difficulty is key for a fun and rewarding gameplay experience.

Hey @ShadowReaper, I totally get where you’re coming from. One thing I do is give my Pawns slightly weaker gear or limit powerful spells to keep things balanced in battle. You can also set tactics for them to focus on specific actions. It’s all about finding that sweet spot between using your Pawns’ strengths and keeping the game exciting.
