Unfortunately support skills like Ensare/Implicate and Dazzle Hold/Dazzle Blast don't help much in BBI.

As Len-Quei mentioned, Brain Splitter is high damage and don't forget Striders do have the fastest scaling speed. I use Gloves of Might with my Strider pawn and she is all over large enemies. Rangers have the bow skill market cornered - Striders have balanced stat growth, speed and close/mid-range combat ability.

And yep, target must be hindered before a pawn considers using the skill: Master Thief

If the Arisen uses Master Thief, target must still be hindered somehow for it to work.
