Dragon's Dogma 2 · Starting vocation

Fighter

Fighter is a close-range sword-and-shield role that combines melee attacks, defense, and the ability to hold enemy attention.

How it works

IGN says Fighters charge into battle with one-handed weapons and shields, holding enemy attention while attacking and deflecting blows. It describes the empale skill as dealing significant damage to staggered enemies and weak points of knocked-out monsters. Fighter is a starting vocation for the Arisen and Main Pawn. PowerPyx lists swords, maces, and shields as equippable weapons.

Read the supporting references

A source-bounded reference to ten named vocations, their described combat functions, signature weapons, and selected progression and equipment facts. IGN and PowerPyx describe vocation advancement and switching. Comparative effectiveness, exact skill costs, a complete gear catalog, and present-day patch status remain unverified. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking. Check the stated edition and source version before applying a patch-specific detail.
