Human, elf or giant

IIRC, there is no advantage between races with fighter skills, but since fighter relies on the Will stat, giants will have the upperhand in endgame. But it's a very small difference between giants and humans when not taking any other factors into account.

Nope. There is a race difference.

Giants still have the upperhand, with the tiny Will gap, but also an additional 10% damage and 10% quicker fighter skill cooldown at rank 1 Combo Mastery.

In the end, giants are the best race for purely fighter (again, not taking any other factors into consideration).

Keep in mind that as a Fighter, you will also be utilizing normal Melee skills, and that Human Fighters can use Final Hit.

Ideally, Giants. the Will gap is rather small between Humans and Giants. As Kevin said, they gain additional damage and faster cooldowns. Giants can also tank with heavy armors without the damage reduction penalty.

Humans are well rounded, but are about the same as giants, just hitting below the giant norm (in terms of Will Stat). They lack movement speed compared to elves and giants. Humans, as well as elves, receive a damage penalty for using heavy armors, reducing their attack strength. Human can benefit with their exclusive skill, Final Hit. Humans will deal damage lower than giants, but higher than elves.

Elves only benefit from their natural movement speed, but receive the lowest amount of benefits from fighter skills. Due to a lack of melee basics, the effort it takes is much greater than a Giant, and falls a short amount when compared to humans. It doesn't make them bad fighters, it just the effort in is much more than effort out. Don't get me wrong, elves can hit pretty well with proper enchants.

These skills are all divided into three different hits. My question is how is the damage calculation factored in: would be skill percentage multiplied by three, or all three hits equal the skill percentage?

Few Qs:

• What happens with Charging Strike vs Charging Strike?
• Charging Strike vs Charge?
• Can normal attack intercept either?

CS vs CS, Better Connection wins

CS vs charge, no idea but probably better connection wins?

Interception, Normally CS intercepts before normal attack, but probably like the other two, connection is taken into account.

IIRC, I have been intercepted with normal attacks using both CS and FF.

I'm just wondering if they both function like Charge.

Probably. If anything, CS is a faster version of charge. But CS can intercept Normal attacks. as far as FF...no clue...I just like dashing at people lol

Charging strike is supposed to win against normal hits/smash....maybe even charge too, not sure. If yours doesn't maybe you a bad connection.

I don't believe focused fist is supposed to intercept anything other than smash really. It might work against charge if you're quick though.

DOn't forget distance from charging FF.

Do these two skills still trigger properly against 2nd Chains?

Tested, they still work fine.

Seems that only 3rd Chains ignore Def/Counter.

...I'm surprised even the 3rd chains ignore defense and counter.

Drop Kick kicks you so hard that you can't even defend from it without being pushed back from the crushing blow.

Pummel on the other hand....neh...but now that I know it can't be defended/countered, I feel fighter is OP again..

Now that you mention drop kick right there I vaguely remember being countered by a monster at one point. I'll have test this myself because I'm not sure. Dunno about pummel either.

I'm in awe that even a fully charged fist doesn't even pierce through it...

You'd think so but actually the most "logical" reason is that the attack was seen way ahead of time, the counterattacker took the fist, and then flinged it back at the attacker...

Okay so I'm playing on the KR Test Server so I can figure out exactly how to get these skills, others as well and I had a question. It seems that I got both Screw Uppercut and Dash Punch from just randomly fighting with knuckles, would this be an okay thing to post?

"Acquired randomly as you continue to use knuckles and Fighter skills."

Because I got Screw Uppercut as I used Dash Punch and knuckles normally. I know it's a very vague bit of info but I was hoping that it'd help :s respond if you can please.
