Welcome one and all to this guide especially for stat growth in Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. While there is no need to go for perfect stats in this game it does help if you want to be the most streamlined version of a character.
Since most of your damage is actually added due to the weapons you use, you can feel free to experiment with your stats a little bit. By making use of the game’s stat growth system, it’s very easy to make your character a potent hybrid or a stalwart practitioner of either combat, stealth, or magic arts by simply using a particular class over a period of several levels.
It’s recommended you have a class in mind you want to use exclusively once you hit level 100, and you choose your classes based on stat gains before that point. That sounds odd, but hear me out.
If you take Strider until level 10, Assassin til 50, followed by Sorcerer until 100, you have a huge pool of attack stats ready as a Mystic Knight or Magick Archer.
Stat growth is much simpler if you want to be a purely physical or pure magick build, but diversifying is worth considering. Your pawns can only do so much.
Below we’re going to go over the stat growth for each class within distinct level brackets. An Arisen will gain the amount of stats listed per level.
