— Game description.

Fighter (ファイター) is a class in 7th Dragon.

Overview[]

Fighters are all-around good damage dealers and have the 2nd highest defense of all classes. Fighters pair often with Mages and Bow Rogues for massive damage. They can also cure status ailments on themselves and recover some status effects, and they possess unique skills such as Meat Eater (ミートイーター), Genocide Task (ジェノサイドタスク) and Double Attack (ダブルアタック).

Sword Fighters deal great Slashing damage and have lots of useful skills in battle. Notable skills include Attack Kill (アタックキル), which lowers ATK to an enemy, and Element Follower (エレメントフォロア), which "follows" a Mage spell and attacks the target using the same element. Sword Fighters are the only class that can use physical full-party attacks without any prerequisites (Knights must have a dead party member to do full party attacks and Iai Samurai must use up an EX), so they are pretty good at clearing mobs.

Axe Fighters deals Blunt damage and hit harder than swords, but as a compromise they are much slower than Sword Fighters and other classes. Notable skills include Balance Kill (バランスキル), which lowers resistance of status effects to an enemy; Purge (パージ), which does massive damage and instant death under a certain percentage; and Arrow Follower (アローフォロア), which "follows" a Bow Rogue's attack to deal massive damage. Axe Fighters EX skill, Tidal Wave (タイダルウェイブ) has a chance of inflict skill-seal, which is very useful.

Strategy[]

Double Attack is a useful passive to have during random encounters but not necessary since you have to spend 5 SP at the opposite mastery skill. If you do not run a Healer or a Mage in your party, you can pick up Berserk (ベルセルク) or Endorphin (エンドルフィン) to cure status ailments.

Sword Fighters' main attack is Attack Kill for bosses and dragons. Pick Element Follower if you have a Mage or Fang Blade (ファングブレード) if you do not. Element Follower requires Defense Switch (デフェンシブスイッチ) and Fang Blade requires Offensive Switch (オフェンシブスイッチ). Max Sword Mastery (ソードマスタリー) for high damage boost and pick up Rush Edge (ラッシュエッジ) for random encounters. If you want, you can level up Keen Edge (キーンエッジ) for a quick and cheap damage skill, but Fang Blade already serves the same purpose with higher damage and MANA cost.

Axe Fighters' main attack is Purge (or Power Crash (パワークラッシュ), though Purge is more recommended). Pick up Arrow Follower if you have a Bow Rogue, Balance Kill if your party relies on status ailments or Defend Kill (ディフェンドキル) if you do not rely on any of those. Arrow Follower requires Offensive Switch. Max Axe Mastery (アクスマスタリー) for the damage boost and pick up the EX skill Tidal Wave which has a high chance to inflict Skill Seal. You can take Shield Axe (シールドアクス) or Stun Bash (スタンバッシュ) if you want, but Shield Axe requires Defense Switch so it is not necessary if you are lacking SP, though this will increase drastically your survival rate at max. Stun Bash has a high chance to Stun (which makes your enemy go last) but Axe Fighters are pretty slow, so the Stun effect is often not very effective.
