I don't have any mods. Just standard game. Doubt my pc will be able to handle that.

Not on a console, sorry.

@@oninomiru oooooooooooofff shot to the heart...... And yes you are to blame 🍻

@@oninomiru Thank you for replying. I noticed your pawn. question, you have the heavens key equipped, but also flame skill for daggers. I thought enchantments dont replace permanent enchantments on weapons. So why have the flame skill?

I was mostly testing different daggers. Had Dragon Vein daggers before, but switched to heaven's key due to higher knockdown power. Decided not to change ignited blades, because it has good skill usage ratio for AI. Every skill in the loadout is about 25% here. Changing to something else will change the ratio too.

You can check in game journal, it gives more detailed explanation, but basically badges improve pawn AI against that enemy. So they aren't as stupid and try to go for weak spots more often right away.

Steam. It's in the description.

I run Calm inclination, but tbh I don't notice much difference between them when it comes to thief.

@@oninomiru did u try SF?

tried every inclination, there isn't much difference. Mostly who attacks first.

She was like 40+ when I recorded this video, but by now she is 130+ I think. Can add me on steam if you want to try her out. My friend list is small anyway, so no problem here.

@@oninomiru sure thing, how can I add u ?

could find me on steam, exact same name there. Two hands on profile pic. Or could enter pawn id in rift, and then just select profile and add friend there.

@@oninomiru oooh u right, I'll add u today man, thanks, u the best

I do hope AI sees the improvements, but won't hold my breath. Hard mode is probably gonna come out with DLC I suspect, closer to the end of the year.

She can, but it is inconsistent and need ring of quenching in case things go wrong. I just make her use Ignited Blades instead. Skull Splitter + Implicate + Ignited Blades + Formless Feint.

@@oninomiru That makes sense. I looked up your pawn last night. I'm level 108 so I have some catching up to do lol. I'll hire her most likely in my next playthrough. Looking forward to it!

Can just add me to friends and remove later if you want to try out the pawn. I don't mind.

That would be great! Thank you. I'll add you tomorrow.

Just added, thank you again! Looking forward to hiring your pawn 😊

Some enemies are just once per playthrough, like lesser drakes which are limited to 5 per NG cycle or Wargs that respawn only in unmoored state.

I think you need to have a pawn quest active for that to count.

Missing the ladder badge.

@@buttergolem8584 Not a single pack of wolves in sight.

There’s clearly some materials right there that she didn’t mention.

😂😂😂

Unfortunately, as I noticed so far, all pawns jump off cliffs. Fighters do it noticeable more often than others though.

Yeah, warriors unfortunately suffer the most from current AI. I just never use that vocation for pawns. You have to provide crowd control if you want them to land hits. Like using Sleep Arrow from Magick Archer and such.

That's just what they do with badges. DD2 has no pawn learning, what they do doesn't depend on what player does.

I just gave it to her. But don't be fooled. Pawns are awful at timed actions and they will land Masterful Kill maybe 30% of the time and 70% they will mistime it and get hit instead. Same with warriors and fighters. Use Formless Feint on your pawn instead of Masterful Kill.

They would never have enough RC bruh

@@calcium_skeleton so i guess u never played the game because you would know when you have friends you can use their pawn for free no matter the level.

@@darthmalgus4446 oh, I just don’t have any friends

This ⬆.... me and my dear S/O pawn in DDDA... Now I'm raising this pawn from scratch in the second game because we created the same characters... and i streaming it to him since he can't play but we both love DD... Its fun cuz I finished the first playthrough on his account when my own pawn in the squad was level 16... now this little archer knows the whole plot and carries endgame weapon 😂...

No, vocation does not matter when they earn badges.

Should be in the description...yeah, here: 9PTKUA29P6EJ It is PC Steam though. Although my friend list is pretty small, in case you just wanna try pawn for free, so can add me and then remove later once no longer needed, I don't mind.

@@oninomiru thank you ... but i said it as a joke 🤣 , i mean i did see the ID in the description , thx anyway and awesome pawn and cute as well , you have a good eye for beauty 😁

Yeah, unfortunately casters don't really change much if at all. They just keep casting normally regardless. Only melee change noticeably, due to targeting weak spots consistently.

I am personally not a fan of trickster still, but in certain cases yeah, you can just lean back and watch pawn handle the fights by itself.

Strider with full bestiary knowledge and utilitarian inclination or fighter with dragon maw could solo BBI just by themselves tbh. DD2 pawns are nowhere near as good unfortunately.

Lol, I just play the game, I'm not concerned about getting a pawn's reward; if it happens during game play, fine, but I don't go out of my way for it.

This is where those hours in the character editor and Art of Metamorphosis books come in clutch.

​@poly_g6068 don't forget the clever name.

I got all mine with pretty small rewards.

Cool video. I’m new to the DD series and had no idea the pawn badges had any in game effects. Thanks for this.

Seems like it. I noticed big difference in performance. Mostly on melee pawns though, mages/sorcs don't care and seems like inclination might affect too.

Seems like it. More noticeable on melee pawns. There is a bit better description in Tutorial LogBook. But once they get those maxed, they definitely become more consistent with their tactics. Usually going straight for weak points.

@@oninomiruyea, seems kind of counterintuitive to run my main pawn as a mage, when she’s almost got max badges and could be doing good damage as a dmg vocation
