Best Pawn Vocations are Mage and Warrior

For Pawns, the best Vocations to get are Mage and Warrior. The Mage Vocation for Pawns will give them access to healing skills, as it is the only Vocation to get one and is essential for keeping you alive during combat.

A Pawn with a Warrior Vocation is a great ally to have in the frontlines, as they can help you deal with enemies even if you're far away and can also act as a tank to take enemy attacks.

Mystic Spearhand	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation: N/A

The Mystic Spearhand is one of the best Vocations to get due to the skill Mirour Vesture, which nullifies all enemy attacks.

Mage

Vocation	Tier List
Mage	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation:

The Mage Vocation fits Pawns better as they can attack and provide support even from behind the lines. Mage is also the only Vocation which has access to healing skills, which is essential for a support Pawn.

In addition to healing, a Mage Pawn can also use Palladium, which protects you from taking damage for up to three instances.

Mage Best Skills and Builds

Magick Archer

Vocation	Tier List
Magick Archer	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation: N/A

The Magick Archer Vocation can provide offense and some health recovery. The skill Martyr's Bolt drains the Arisen's HP but can deal tremendous damage, and can even one-shot bosses with the right build.

Sorcerer

Vocation	Tier List
Sorcerer	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation:

The Sorcerer Vocation can use long-range attacks with the spells. It is not as useful as the Mage Vocation as Sorcerers do not have any health-recovering skills, but can be used if you need to deal as much damage as possible. Sorcerers are very squishy though so always have a Mage and Fighter pawns ready to taunt enemies while you're charging spells.

Warfarer

Vocation	Tier List
Warfarer	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation: N/A

Warfarer is a flexible Vocation which allows you to use all weapons and skills from other Vocations.

You can change your weapons to fit any combat situation that you may encounter, but you will not be able to use the Maister Skill of each job. This Vocation is also hard to master as you will essentially be required to master every weapon type.

Fighter

Vocation	Tier List
Fighter	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation:

The Fighter is a melee and tank Vocation that uses swords and shields. A Fighter Pawn is not as reliable as a Warrior Pawn, which is better for tank roles, but can be used if you fight more defensively.

Archer

Vocation	Tier List
Archer	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation:

The Archer Vocation excels from attacking way behind the frontlines, but lacks the ability to deal sufficient damage unless you focus on an enemy's weak spot.

Archer also does not have any defensive or evasive skills, and can be easily overwhelmed by enemies.

Vocation	Tier List
Trickster	Player Vocation: Pawn Vocation: N/A

Vocations With Damage-Nullifying Skills

Criteria for Pawn Vocations

Pawn Vocation Tier List Criteria
・Vocations that work best for a support-focused Pawn ・Vocations with skills that can recover HP ・Vocations that are effective for Pawns in the frontline

Vocations With Support Skills

Pawns as allies play an important role during combat, so Vocations with health recovery are ranked the highest so you can stay alive during fights. Those that can survive in the frontlines work well too, as they can take hits from enemy attacks instead of you.
