The Fighter is an easy-for-beginners Vocation in Dragon's Dogma. They have access to Swords, Shields and the second-heaviest armor in the game. They deal moderate melee sustained and burst damage and are the best Vocation for melee defense and tanking. This class is a starting Vocation. It is well suited to survive in melee, yet completely lacks any ranged abilities.

Quick Fighter Vocation Guide

Your Job
Fighters deal moderate damage-per-second and burst damage, coupled with the greatest defense in the game-Shields and Shield Skills. While they can act as a simple damage dealer, there are more suited Vocations for that task; where Fighters shine above all others is defense. With their ability to negate almost all damage with Shields and Shield Skills, they can absorb attacks better than any other Vocation.

Skill Overview
- Sword Skills: The Fighter's offensive skills.
- Shield Skills The Fighter's defensive skills.
- Core Skills: Passive skills that improve your attack chains or tactical abilities like rolling blocking.
- Augments: Passive traits that improve or grant abilities that can be set regardless of your current Vocation.

Suggested Support
Fighter's definitely need an ally with ranged capabilities-preferably two. One of them should be a Mage focused on healing, with the other a Strider or Ranger for faster and physical ranged attacks. The fourth party member is more flexible.
