Thanks to their strength, fearlessness and superb combat skills,
fighters are always ready to take on any enemy. The powerhouse
and mainstay of any party, fighters battle foes at close range
while allies support them from all sides. With the slash of a
sword, or the swing of an axe, all you will hear is the death
cry of enemies.

Fighters can equip a 1H (1-handed) sword and shield or a 2H
(2-handed) sword or axe. They can only wear armor specific to
their class and level. Main attributes are Strength (for damage)
and Endurance (for more hit points and defense). To increase
your SP (spirit points), ability to use more skills and chance for
critical hits, try adding some points to spirit. For your skill
empowers (under skills button “K” key), focus on increasing
damage output at first. You can also save all your skill
empowers till level 20 and put all the damage increase to 2H
skills. A tank-type build often reduces the cool down of their
taunts, Snearing Kick and Mock.

Skill empower will also enable you to increase the duration of a fighter's stun skill.
You can empower skills beginning at level 3.
