You're welcome--my pleasure.

I enjoy Magick Archer. All the videos I've made have been with Magick Archer who is great against Daimon. However, you should note that Magick Archer does not have the best stats for leveling up. At your level, a Daimon kill will bump you up a level. You can use the same dagger techniques with an Assassin and get much better stat boosts.

On the other hand, IMHO, stats are relatively unimportant compared to tactics and character knowledge. So, if they don't matter to you, it's not a big deal.

Strider is the best vocation to use the techniques I referred to. Strider climbs more quickly than the other dagger wielders and climbing speed is important against Daimon.

I love BBI and have fought Daimon with each and every vocation. The two easy approaches include the dagger approach discussed earlier and a standard bow wielder (Assassin, Strider, or Ranger) using Blast Arrows. It takes quite a few Blast Arrows but you can use the other members of the party as pack mules. As a variation of the dagger approach, you can use Assassin's Deadly Gouge with a sword. The attack is very effective when grappling. However, my style of play relies heavily on evasion. For this reason, I prefer equipping Assassin with daggers so I can use the double vault and evasive roll.

The other vocations can be very effective. However, you will have to defend actively against Daimon. This can be a lot of fun because Daimon is a very challenging opponent if you let him run loose. The grappling technique and the Blast Arrow technique stagger Daimon so he is relatively subdued and you can pretty much ignore him.

The important thing is to have fun. Don't get frustrated if you are not immediately successful. Any practice against Daimon is very worthwhile whether you succeed or fail in the fight. If you can climb Daimon, the Ur-Dragon is a piece of cake in comparison. If you can evade Daimon or block his attacks, you can evade or block any enemy in DD:DA. Happy hunting.
