Fighters are by far the most common type of warriors in Avendar. Trained for the rigors of a life spent campaigning, they are true soldiers. Fighters specialize in formation control and tactics, granting them an unparalleled mastery of group combat. Fighters are also proficient with many different weapons, although their specialties are the polearm, spear, and sword.

Tips
While using a one-handed spear and shield, a fighter has the most constant defense skills of any class in the game. This defensive style can make a fighter one of Avendar's best tank classes, rivaled primarily by Swordmasters. A fighter can prolong his ability to tank by using skills like bandage, and can swiftly move his group through dangerous areas with withdraw. Rout and rally are primarily for use in group-versus-group PK, offering the potential to focus attacks on a certain target, or disrupt the enemy grouping. That is not to say that a fighter is weak in one-on-one PK; skills such as pommel, gash, and counter can make a fighter competitive against a broad range of classes (such as enemy spellcasters and rogues).
