The powerhouse and mainstay of any party. Fighters battle at close range while allies support from all sides - take a sword and shield to tank, or a two-handed sword or axe to lead the charge and cut foes down.

Role

Melee tank and bruiser. High defense and hit points let a Fighter hold aggro and solo packs of mobs, while a two-handed build trades some survivability for heavy damage. Main stats are Strength (damage) and Endurance (HP and defense); a few points in Spirit add SP and crit chance.

Strengths

• Largest range of melee attack skills in the game
• Very high hit points
• Highest physical defense of any class

Weaknesses

• No real ranged damage
• Low spirit points
• Lowest magical defense - vulnerable to casters

Weapons & armor

• 1H sword & shield, or 2H sword / 2H axe
• Fighter-class armor only

Starting stats

STR raises physical damage, END raises HP and physical defense, SPR raises magic defense, SP and crit chance.

Advancement

At level 20 your class trainer quest turns you into a Clever Fighter; at level 60 you become a Warrior, gaining new skills and power at each step.
