Dark And Darker Fighter Class: Definitive Guide

The fighter Class in Dark And Darker is the melee/tank class, and it can deal a massive amount of damage in the game, but the speed is comparatively slow compared to most of the classes. Fighter Class can equate every weapon in the game, but this comes with a penalty, such as you deal 20% less damage on the non-native weapons.

How Good Is Fighter Class In Dark And Darker

This class can also block the enemy attack by using a shield. If you are new to the game or are thinking of giving it a go, then Fighter Class can be a good pick for you.

Here’s a summary of the Fighter Class: 

Weapon of Choice

• Can use pretty much every weapon in the game.

Advantages

Each class in Dark And Darker has its own advantages. The advantages that a Fighter Class can provide are listed as under:

• The Fighter Class can use pretty much all weapons that are available in the game.
• This Class consists of a balanced set of Perks and Skills.
• Fighters are capable of using shields to block enemy attacks.
• Despite being a heavy tank class, Fighter also has the ability to sprint.
• This class can prove to be a good pick for solo queuing because of its blocking ability and easy-to-learn set of Skills and Perks.

Disadvantages

If a class has advantages, it is more likely to have some disadvantages as well. The disadvantages of Fighters are discussed as under:

• One of the biggest disadvantages of the Fighter Class is that this class is highly dependent on equipment.
• Unlike Wizard or Cleric, Fighter Class is unable to cast any spells.
• The Fighter can be a bad pick for long-ranged combats.
• The sprint is considered to be an advantage, but at the same time, it can prove to be a disadvantage as it is highly dependent on the set of armor that you are using. The heavier the armor, the more it will negatively affect the sprint.

Perks

Every class in Dark And Darker has its perks; where you can equip one perk at the beginning of the game and go up to equipping four perks once you reach level 15. At level 1, you can equip only one perk, two perks at level 5, 3 perks at level 10, and eventually four perks at level 15. As for the perks of Fighter Class, there are nine perks available in the game currently that are listed below:

Skills

Like perks, skills in Dark And Darker are also different for each class you pick. You can only pick two skills in the game, no matter your character level. There are six different skills available for the Fighter Class in the game currently that are listed below:

• Sprint: Movement speed is greatly increased for a short duration.
• Second Wind: Recovers 50% of your HP over 12 seconds. Additionally, it eliminates the side effects of the Adrenaline Rush Skill.

Tips For Beginners

As you can equip only one Perk and two Skills at the beginning of the game. As per our experience, the Perks and Skills that we think can prove to be the most useful for newbies in the game are listed below:

• The Perk that you should always equip is Combo Attack, as it increases the damage dealt by 10% after every successful hit that can grant you a big advantage over others.
• The first Skill that you should be equipping is Second Wind, as healing is one of the most important aspects in every game, and in Dark And Darker, finding healing items is not going to be an easy task.
• The second Skill we recommend is the Sprint, as you can easily run away from situations where you think you are at a disadvantage. Don’t forget that this game is not about fighting but surviving and escaping, along with your riches, from the dungeon.
