Tips and hints

  1. Fighter is an ideal "tank" character, i. e. a character who takes the most damage and draws the attention of enemies. Wear a shield and heavy armor and always stand at the front of your team. The ideal support in this role is the Constant Recover ability, which heals the character.
  2. The "Tank" should look after other members of the team, especially those who deal large damage but have little health. Saving allies requires skills such as Knock Down or Charge, which allow you to stop the enemy.
  3. Each usage of any ability uses up the Fighter's source of power - Discipline. After a fight, Discipline is fully replenished.
  4. If your fighter is going to be a typical tank, you should invest in Constitution and Resolve. If you want to deal considerable damage as well, you have to add some points to Might - this will decrease your "survivability," but will also allow you to aid the team in eliminating enemies.
  5. The best Fighter races are Human, Aumaun and Dwarf.
