- Today we are breaking down one of the best Thief builds in Dragons Dogma 2, which includes the best weapons, gear, augments and skills to use. This vocation excels in speed, damage, range and offers incredibly powerful skills for your character. You’ll notice just how powerful this vocation is as you level up and unlock skills like Formless feint, which makes you invincible and immune to damage and Blades of the Pyre which synergizes perfectly with formless feint to turn you into an unkillable ticking time bomb! Some skills perform better against mobs during exploration and others, like skull splitter for example, are very effective against large enemies. Its important to know which skills excel the most and how to best utilize them during each combat scenario. There’s a lot of important aspects to consider when building your thief including height, weight, equipment load and the gear you’re wearing. This guide is designed to help you create the best possible thief in Dragons Dogma 2 and provides a blueprint to make your thief increasingly more powerful as you level up other vocations.
Next, lets talk about the best skills to use for the thief starting with Cutting Wind. Known as biting wind before upgrading its actually the very first skill you unlock as a thief. The second skill on this build, probably the most powerful thief skill in the game right now, formless feint. This skill accelerates your characters reactions to an ungodly degree, enabling you to evade all manner of attacks from hostile targets. Blades of the Pyre is the third skill on this build and its incredibly powerful while formless faint is active. This skill brings your dagger together to ignite, coating them in a blazing inferno so potent that the user cannot escape being burned. For the last skill Im using Skull Splitter which is actually one of the most effective skills to use against larger enemies. Skull Splitter is an advanced form of helm splitter that employs a faster spin to deliver a greater number of slashes providing more DPS in the process.
For augments, all you really need is the thief augments to be efficient and successful during combat but you can make the build slightly more powerful by utilizing some other augments from different vocations. Subtlety descreases the likelihood of being targeted by foes, gratification restores health when you deliver a killing blow, poise reduces stamina consumed when struggling in a foes grip, vigor reduces stamina when clinging onto enemies and verve augments your strength. Some other augments I recommend using include endurance from the archer vocation which increases your maximum stamina, avidity which enables you to clamber up cliffs and scale foes more quickly. Exaltation from the mage vocation which augments your stamina recovery speed, Athleticism from the mystic spear hand vocation which reduces stamina cost while dashing and thew from the fighter vocation which enables you to carry additional weight helping you control your equipment load a lot easier.
After I completed the game and started new game plus I was able to purchase the legendary heavens key daggers from the weapons vendor in any city. These daggers and many more endgame weapons are available for purchase after completing the game and are currently the strongest weapons in Dragons Dogma 2. The heavens key daggers come equipped with high base damage, magick damage, slash strength, and 45% holy damage affliction on enemies.
The gear Im currently wearing includes the confidants hood, vanquishers armor, mercenary hosen and the abyssinal neck wrap.
For the rings I have the ring of momentum which moderately boosts maximum stamina and the ring of skullduggery which increases damage dealt when attacking foes form behind. Super useful during boss fights and mobs and with cutting wind you'll find it incredibly easy to get behind enemies quickly.

The physical build & pawn commentary was exactly what I was looking for & sets this apart. Great work.
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻
If you hit light attack+dodge it works just as good as biting wind. It’s infinite and costs no stamina. Good video as always.
Sort of. The range and speed is definitely better with cutting wind. But that base lunge is always good to have in case you want to use other skills in place of cutting wind
Yea the range and speed don’t come close though
Easily subbed, not only did i get a hell of a lot of info from you in this video, but also from the people in the comment section giving great hints and tips.
Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate that
I would always take implicate over blades.
The beauty of this skill is less its ability to yank airborne enemies (which is useful) but more to give your thief an answer to enemies which would usually deflect your attacks.
Yank the rockbiters and open them up to a heavy, critical attack to one shot them.
Of course it works on all enemies, including shielded, and is great for pulling archers and enemies off of ledges and away from wonky terrain.
Plus you can topple staggered bosses.
I slept on this skill for ages but it's fantastic.
I agree for sure! Very useful in many situations. It’s all personal preference at the end of the day! Thanks for commenting 🙏🏻
Awesome that you are playing another game I absolutely love! Great video hope to see you in D2 again soon!
Been really enjoying the game 🫡🔥
Amazing video! Thanks for making it!
No problem! Thanks for being here 🙏🏻
You earned a Sub!!!! Great work
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Food for thought. I really like smoke shroud over like cutting wind. I haven't tested it fully yet but it feels like smoke drops enemies out of battle stance allowing you to get lots of crits with the fierce attack. Straight assassin like backstabs instant death. Parries well with the archer augment too
Will have to try it again and experiment more for sure!
@@ColdBwoyy For my 4th slot I run Concussive leap, but that is just for exploration, that double jump you can do with it is more handy than Levitate to me. For combat I fully agree with you running like ensnare or cutting wind. though it is still nice to leap into a skull splitter gets you right up in that tall cyclops face from the ground
You're 100% right. Smoke is the best thief ability bar none.
Not only does it stop all enemies engaging with your party - but every hit becomes a crit.
It's one of the most broken abilities in the game. No reason to play Thief without it.
Good guide thank you!
Thank you for being here 🙏🏻 I appreciate the comment
Great guides, you earned a sub!
Awesome, thank you so much 🙏🏻
You sir just earned a sub. Good stuff homie 🤙😈
Welcome aboard! Really appreciate your support 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Didnt know how good blades of the pyre was, thank you for the info, good vid
Of course! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@ColdBwoyy used this build to kill my first lesser dragon, took awhile but I got it done 😭 need to find some better daggers LOL
Any chance you got a Magick Archer one coming? I love your breakdowns of the vocations and builds! I would love to see what you end up doing with Magick Archer! Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate this comment 🙏🏻 My next video will be a fighter build but I plan to do mystic archer right after 💯👍
Thanks for the tips been loving the game alot loved the first one's also but this one is the best imo anyway i subscribed thanks for the great video's also if you are playing on pc what is your pawns id could use a solid tank on my team as my pawn is a mage atm but going to change her to sorc
Thanks for the sub! My pawn is currently a fighter at the moment
@@ColdBwoyy i meant to say could use a good fighter pawn lol
The spear hand has a augment you get stamina after kills super good for thief build
Yes! Another really good augment to consider
Armor weight doesn't matter as much when you can either elvish enhance to lower weight, or dragonforge to further reduce their weight by half. But I guess if you're using feint you aren't getting hit much, so enjoy the FashionDogma 💅
I think you missed armor and weapons available in the unmoored that you can't get at vendors - I think people are still discovering new loot there.
I’ll keep an eye out for those end game armor pieces during my current playthrough 🔥
Mystic archer has a nice augment that replenishes stamina on kill would be good for this 💪
Oh yeah that would be great for this build actually!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 beautiful editing and scripting matching the thumbnail. Next level for sure!
Appreciate it bro 💯
Thank you
Smoke screen is S tier !! Try it !! You can insta kill almost every mob and bosses won’t target you in the smoke great for revives
Really good for revives 💪🏼 it’s all personal preference really
You can dodge backwards or sideways to avoid flames of pyre damage. I like running powder charge, flames of pyre, concussive step, skull splitter,. Constantly blowing things up. The formless feint seems too op.
Formless feint definitely makes the game easy mode 😂
I forget exactly where you get it but theres a ring that exceptionally boosts strength the lighter your equipment load it, i found it to be almost an auto include ring to whatever thief build you might be using.
Great tip! 👍
Yep, I use 2x Ring of Brawn. I stay Very Light - massive damage increase.
@@inawrocki207 where did u find it
Ring of Brawn doesn't work. You can make strength comparisons by looking at the status Strength before and after equipping it. Needs to be fixed. Same with Ring of Recompense.
@@gustavofuzettiSeveral people, including myself, can attest that it doesn't just boost your stat number - it adds a damage multiplier when dealing the damage of some sort.
When wearing two - you have to hit enemies way less than without them.
Is the dagger Heaven's Key Vermundian Wyrmfire upgraded better than Dragon's Vein Battahli Wyrmfire in this build (unlock in unmoored world)?
Dragon's Vein has better physical damage, but lacks magickal damage and has lower knockdown stats
I added the lethality augment from the archer to get more dps
If you get the 'unmoored" ending all the ng+ items are there aswell.
Correct!
I'd rather go for mericless kill, draw and quarter, helm splitter and formless feint just for style points. Aguments are easy deal thiefs Vigor and verve then go archer for endurance, lethality and Avidity for the last one Mage Exaltation. Gear just do whatever you want it's fashion show anyways just upgrade it all the way to the max personally ill go for dwarven that extra knockdown res/power is no brainer and extra weight means nothing when you'll get to dragonforge it cutting 50% of weight anyways. Rings stays pretty much the same you proposed but currently im runing ring of triumph instead of Momentum, also the ring of quickening is viable option for faster stamina recovery.
Also as @zevl5745 mentioned You're using formless feint so defence is something you pretty much dont need.
There is also way of having infinite stamina because you can pause the game and use your curatives plus Celestial Paean mage meister skill is no brainer infinite stamina so you can pretty much go full offensive at this point.
I run formless feint and go full stamina build and strength build so much damage
this game is easy enough to pick whatever skills you like, although i appreciate people still want to min/max. its just not for me. really, really well done video.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it
hi ty for share this build just one question, what the best upgrade for heaven's key plz ? and for armor ?
Dwarven for knockdown power
Hear me out for a second... I like to make my Main Pawn a thief. But I also equipped him with provocation, augment and ring of disfavor and formless feint so that he can draw all of the aggro but also never be hit! Killer combo, especially if you hire one or two pawn(s) with Celestial Paeaen to keep everyone's stamina topped up. Thank me later. 😏
Have you try the frost dagger ? wondering if it works with blade of pyre ?
It definitely works
ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! WOO! WOOOOOOOO!
nice
Thanks 🙏🏻
So I just maxed out thief if you had to pick any augments to equipt from any other vocation which 5 would you pick seems to me that endurance and exaltation are the ones to go for just going to take a while in mage for it since it’s the last one
Yes you already know the best choices I see 👍
@@ColdBwoyy damnit I was hoping you would talk me out of it lol thanks man
What’s a good inclination for your tank fighter pawn?
I think mine is straightforward but I don’t think it matters too much
anyone tried running the kerchief that lowers aggro, with subtlety, shadowveil, verve, dual skullduggery (if they stack) and just being a straight up assassin? feel like you could one shot most small mobs, and using swift step should make it easy to stay behind big bois for skulldugz to proc
Subtlety is a waste of an augment. You’re invincible.
As a base augment it’s not bad. Easily replaceable for another augment from a different vocation.
metalrayne1
Not for pawns though. Especially mages or sorcerers
makes me want to use an all thief pawn team with one mage
My boy coldbwoyyyy this is your game make more content on it 🙏🏽
Way more coming soon 🙏🏻
Don't think I could ever take off smokescreen. Insta killing enemies inside takes me back to early assassins creed days
Great skill for sure! How useful is it against monsters tho?
@ColdBwoyy humanoid enemies are killed instantly and bosses tend to leave you alone. It's exceptionally good for reviving
@@ColdBwoyy Protects your pawns for sure. Smoke feels like it slows as well as blinds, big monsters just sit there and get wailed on. Thief is broken either way, I just like the extra crowd control to protect the pawns
Actually if you notice , while it’s active you hit harder in it and if you have another thief in your group , they too do some crazy damage.
The key to being a good thief is... just play the game. There is no secret, its op out the gate.
I hate taking skull splitter because how good it is. It trivializes and really stales the game out. My personal loadout is cutting wind, concussive leap, gut&run, and powder blast. I fully play for mounting, using powder blast and gut&run on critical zones.
Sounds like a fun play style! The thief is definitely overturned compared to the other vocations
Thank you so much for this thief class setup I have been melting boss with it it took a while to learn how to use the class setup because formless faint takes a while to activate but I learned is I hold down the bottom I have less problems activating it I feel like a god fighting drakes now 🔥🔥🔥🐉thank you 🙏
Glad it worked out for you! Thanks for taking the time to comment on the video 🙏🏻
Damn it's really that good
@@ColdBwoyy dude I’m melting griffin bro thank you 🙏
@sheldonmustdie2 bro..so am i.. I just deleted a dragon today..so OP. I love it now
@@bossedup957 happy to hear it bro
Is blaze of pyre useful against enemies that resist fire?
Good for knockdown power 0:38
How come when i use pyre with feint up it still blows me up and knocks me back?
Of you have leveled up magic archer, you can get stamina regen on kill. Really makes this silly. Quickly killing enemies and getting full stamina back
what upgrades did you use for heavens key?
Dwarven for knockdown power
So which six augments combination u recommended?
Subtlety, poise, vigor, endurance, avidity, exaltation
Any one know when Upgrading daggers and gear just got bolts of the blue should we do magic physical or balanced upgrades
You could do dwarven for knockdown power
I'm in Battahli but I don't know which daggers to get (1) is Battahli Biters and (2) is Divine Razors (they both strong daggers too)
Both are very good 👍
@@ColdBwoyy thanks for the response g (much appreciated👍🏾😊)
@@terrencesproulls7184of course! Thanks for the comment 💯
Certainly not sure i like that the best weapons in the game are purchased at a vendor in NG+.
The game is more enjoyable in new game plus anyways 👍
Blade of the pyre useless when you have a mage pawn or use heaven’s key.
Cutting wind isn’t usefull when you use the a mage with the speed boost spell.
Implicate or Assassinate are way better against normal mobs
For bosses, Skull splitter is best. Along with the one that you can only use when you’re attached to an ennemy vital, it does massive damage and knock em down.
What style was your biters?
The problem I have with the thief is that the opponents always discover me. I always tell my minions to stand still and then I use the cloak to blend in with the environment. I always get discovered after 1-2 opponents, does anyone have any tips?
I don’t use shadow veil I think there’s much better options for sure.
I love thief. I thought I didn't. But ninja vanish!!
Very powerful class! Formless feint is OP
if i speak to the dragonforged he doesnt give me the option "improve skill, improve vocation" how do i do that?
NG+
It is unlocked in new game plus 👍
I’m tryna get my main pawn a solid skill set 😅I just don’t know what to use
What vocation is your pawn?
But what about blacksmith? What's the most ideal blacksmith for Thief weapons/armor?
Probably dwarven for extra knockdown power
@@ColdBwoyy Yeah, I thought as much. What about the armor? Still dwarven?
Please help, how do i access the vocation guild page at 5:51, nee to the series
Dude have u even played the game? If u have then u should know how to change your vocations bro it isn't rocket science. You talk to someone same way you do to rest at an inn.
@@eddiejr999 thank you much appreciated will check it out after work
@Thethoughtward it's like 2 little sword icons next to eachother. And sometimes the innkeeper does both depends on where u are but not every town u can change vocation at, most of em hough
@@eddiejr999 thats very helpful, now i think of it, i’m pretty sure i sent that symbol, going for a crazy build and thanks to you i shall complete my quest Arisen
How are u not taking any dmg from pyreless blades i know u can negate the burn dmg but not the explosion ???
You need formless feint to be active. You dodge the explosion.
@@ColdBwoyy oh nice one 👍
So a big thief meaning tall and 100s weight under 109 wouldn’t work? I was under the impression you got better reach and bigger stamina pool
Yes but your stamina recovery speed will be much slower 👍 nothing wrong with a tall thief it’s all personal preference
@@ColdBwoyy how much lower is it much worse have you tried it? Also thanks for the quick replies u got my sub I’ve been stuck in the character creation for a whole day now lol
@@leocreuu3254thanks for the sub! I wouldn’t stress over it too much just because you can change the appearance of your character later. The difference in stamina control is definitely noticeable. It all depends on what’s more important to you. Having more stamina to attack more often or having a higher weight capacity so you can carry more items.
@@ColdBwoyy good point yea I’ll take the stamina lol can always make a heavy pawn
@@ColdBwoyy do you recommend making a main pawn a mage? If so what height and weight does slow stam regen affect spells
How do you get the confidants hood?
It’s purchasable from the vendors in new game plus
Vanquishers Armor is too heavy imo. Obviously matters less and less as the game go on which just makes it easier to be light with lighter armor. but ya, i get it. it looks good
What happens if i make a tall and big character as a thief?
I believe you’ll have more reach but your stamina recovery speed will be slower
I mean... it's funny how predictable it is that it was going to be a feint/pyre build 😅
Too good not to utilize
Sorry mate, but i don t understand how is possible use blades of the pyre without having any damage😢 Could you explain me please?
Formless feint skill needs to be active
@@ColdBwoyy wonderful!! Thank you mate!👍✌️
i have almost same build but I use Plunder instead of Formless cause I like stealing XDD
Well you are a thief 💪🏼😂
where do you get ring of momentum?
dragonsdogma2.wiki.fextralife.com/Ring+of+Momentum
@coldbwoyy can You drop me the weapons? and I can dupe them if youre on p5
This game is single player
@@ColdBwoyy You can Drop stuff to people through rifts and pawn quest, if youd like me to show you id be glad too
Lol nothing about stealing ferrystones from griffins or stealing more crystals from dragon's
Sorry
@ColdBwoyy all good 👍
I didn’t know how u look has to do with the gameplay 💀
Many people don’t!
Are we really calling these “builds” lol Dragons Dogma has no builds frfr
Weapons, armor, skill selection, ring selection and pawn synergy. I would definitely say that’s a build for sure.
We can talk whenever we want, sometimes though, we shouldn't. Even an idiot can look smart when he doesn't speak.
I agree lol, just use whatever skills and pawns that fit the situation you're in
@czyu3361 That kind of sounds like a build.
Came here to comment the same thing. I mean this could be good for someone who doesn’t want to look at everything themselves but honestly, just use what suits your fancy.
Love this guys build videos though, no hate.
