Starting Avowed for the first time? Not sure which class to pick? Well, we’re here to tell you that the Fighter is the best choice for beginners. It's strong, simple to play, and lets you smash through enemies without worrying too much about fancy tricks. Here’s a quick guide on what makes ‘em the best class for starting out in Avowed:
1. Fighters Are Hard to Kill
The Fighter class is tanky. That means you can take a lot of hits before going down. Right from the start, you get Toughness, which gives you more health, and Constant Recovery, which slowly heals you over time. So even if you mess up in combat, you'll still be standing.
2. Easy and Fun Combat
Fighters are all about close-range combat. You get big swords, axes, and maces to smash enemies. Unlike spellcasters, you don’t have to worry about running out of magic. Unlike archers, you don’t have to aim perfectly. Just get in there and start swinging.
3. Great for Blocking and Staggering Enemies
Fighters also use shields really well. The Shield Bash ability lets you stun enemies, making it easier to land big hits. Plus, blocking with a shield reduces damage, so you don’t have to dodge every single attack.
4. You Can Use a Lot of Weapons
As a Fighter, you’re not stuck using just one type of weapon. You can pick up one-handed swords, two-handed axes, heavy maces, or even dual-wield if you want. This lets you change your playstyle whenever you feel like it.
5. You Work Well with Companions
In Avowed, you’ll meet allies who fight alongside you. Fighters make a great team leader because they can take hits while their teammates deal damage. If you don’t pick a Fighter, you’ll have to rely on a single tanky companion—Kai—who might not always be in your party.
6. Fighters Can Still Mix Other Skills
Even though Fighters are great at melee, you can still mix in abilities from other classes. Want to shoot arrows? Grab some Ranger skills. Want to use magic? Mix in a few Wizard abilities. You’re never locked into one way of playing.
7. The Best Class for Beginners
Fighters don’t require fancy strategies or perfect timing. You don’t have to think too hard about spell cooldowns, mana, or aiming long-range attacks. If you're new to RPGs, the Fighter class is the easiest way to survive, learn the game, and have fun.
Final Blurb
If you’re just starting out in Avowed, the Fighter class is the best choice. You can always experiment with other skills later, but if you want to jump in and smash enemies without worrying too much, pick Fighter.
Now go forth and hit things really hard.
