The purest physical defender in existence. No magic, no divine power — only discipline, training, and the unshakeable resolve of someone who has made themselves into the ultimate instrument of war. The Fighter stands at the front of every group, shield raised, drawing enemy attention so companions can survive and thrive. Their power comes from mastered stances, battlefield shouts, and a knack for turning enemy strikes into opportunity.

Fighters plant themselves between enemies and allies and hold. Combat centers on stance management — shifting between offensive, defensive, and control modes to match the encounter. A shared cooldown pool forces real choices each cycle: burn an interrupt now, save the counter for a risky incoming hit, or unleash a retaliatory combo. Against melee-heavy groups, retaliation mechanics turn enemy aggression into reflected damage. Mastery comes from reading enemy patterns and knowing when to shift gears.
The Fighter is for players who want to be the immovable object — the person everyone else relies on to hold the line. If you love anchoring a group, watching your precise threat management keep enemies focused on you while your counters punish every swing they take, this is your class. Fighters reward patience, positioning, and deep knowledge of how enemies attack.
