Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen – How to Hire Pawns

Inclinations

Inclinations are what a Pawn will do in battle. Knowing what they mean will help you pick the best one for your Party. The last thing you need is some Pawn in Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen charging in when you need them to be a healer. The Inclinations are:

• Acquisitor – Will search for items no matter what is going on (even during battle).
• Challenger – Will treat ranged and magic using enemies as a priority.
• Guardian – Will guard you.
• Medicant – Will focus on healing all party members and keeping everyone alive.
• Mitigator – Will treat weaker enemies as a priority.
• Nexus – Will focus on assisting other Pawns.
• Pioneer –  Will check areas ahead and constantly be aware of incoming threats.
• Scather – Will treat stronger enemies as a priority.
• Utilitarian – One of the best Inclinations to have. Will adapt the way it acts in battle to make sure everyone has an advantage.

You can adjust the Inclinations of your main Pawn (the one you create yourself) by visiting a Knowledge Chair. These are easy to pick out (since they’re prettier than other chairs) and can be found anywhere you can rest.
