In short: The Dark Fighter is the Dark Elves' starter warrior, built to charge in and hit hard up close. It's the ideal entry point for anyone who wants an aggressive, fast, and simple character to learn.

Picture an ashen-skinned fighter who prefers to settle things with his own hands. The Dark Fighter doesn't stand far away waiting for the right moment: he runs into the middle of the fight and unloads quick blows while the enemy is still trying to react.

It's a class that feels agile and direct. You don't need to memorize dozens of spells or manage a thousand resources — just position, attack, and feel the rhythm of melee combat. That's why it's so loved by players who are just starting out on the server.

The Dark Fighter is the first step in the Dark Elves' combat line. Its journey begins like this: Dark Fighter (Starter) — from here you advance by choosing the next profession as you level up.

Strengths

Very high Strength (STR 41) — practically at the top among all classes (98th percentile). In practice, this means every melee blow hits hard, which greatly speeds up farming and fights.
Very fast (Speed 139) — among the quickest in the game (78th percentile). You catch enemies that flee, escape when you need to, and spend less time walking between targets.
Good Dexterity (DEX 34) — high among the classes (76th percentile). DEX improves your hit chance and critical chance, meaning you miss less and deal more damage spikes.
Solid physical defense (PDef 80) — a respectable natural armor for a starter class. You can stay in the thick of the fight without dropping all the time.
Simple, direct kit — few skills, all easy to understand. This keeps the learning curve light and perfect for those taking their first steps.

Weaknesses

Low HP (bottom of the table) — your health bar is one of the smallest (0th percentile). Tip: put HP potions on auto-use and prioritize raising CON as you advance to gain more stamina.
Low MP (bottom of the table) — little mana reserve (0th percentile). Tip: don't rely on many skills in a row; mix in normal attacks and keep MP potions handy.
Needs to be glued to the enemy — being pure melee, you take damage directly and have no range. Tip: learn to position well and focus on bringing down one target at a time.
Fragile under focus from many enemies — with low health, taking many blows at once is dangerous. Tip: pull enemies a few at a time and play in a party when facing large groups.

Class-defining skills

Power Strike — a strong physical blow (an attack that hits harder than normal). It's your main tool for opening up damage on a target.
Mortal Blow — a "blow" skill, meaning an attack that can cause a huge spike of physical damage. Great for finishing enemies or starting the fight with force.
Power Shot — another charged physical blow. It works as a damage variation to keep up the pressure when you want to alternate your attacks.
Weapon Mastery — a passive that improves your command of weapons, increasing your attack efficiency without you having to do anything.
Armor Mastery — a passive that reinforces your defense with armor, making you tougher as you equip better pieces.
Shield — a passive tied to shield use, which helps block blows and hold damage. Worth equipping a shield when you want to survive longer.
Shadow Sense — a passive typical of Dark Elves that sharpens your senses in combat, granting small continuous advantages.
Lucky — a "luck" passive that protects your early levels, softening penalties while you're young. Useful right at the very start.

Attributes: what to prioritize

The Dark Fighter is a physical warrior, so everything that boosts damage and survival comes first. Since health and mana are weak points, it's worth balancing aggression with toughness.

STR (physical damage) — your number one priority; it's what makes your blows hurt.
DEX (crit and accuracy) — second priority; more crits and fewer missed attacks.
CON (health/toughness) — important to make up for the low HP and avoid dying easily.
MEN (mana) — a secondary help so you don't run out of mana mid-fight.

Recommended equipment

As a fists/blades class, focus on high-damage melee weapons. The ideal armor is light, which combines protection with the Dark Fighter's speed and agility.

At the start, prioritize upgrading your weapon — it's what increases your damage the most. Then take care of the armor and consider a shield when you need to absorb more blows. Upgrade piece by piece as you gather resources.

Step by step for beginners

Create the character — choose Dark Elf and the Dark Fighter class. Start feeling its aggressive, fast style right away.
Do the first quests in the starting area — they give basic equipment, a bit of Adena, and your first levels without any hassle.
Turn on auto-hunt — with it, the character farms on its own in zones at your level, hitting monsters automatically. It's the most practical way to level up while you learn.
Follow the professions: base → 1st → 2nd → 3rd — with each profession change you gain new skills and more power. Make the transfer as soon as it unlocks so you don't delay your growth.
Prioritize the right skills and passives — keep Power Strike and Mortal Blow on your bar and leave the passives (Weapon/Armor Mastery, Shield) always active.
Gather Adena and L-Coin — with them you buy potions, improve equipment, and keep auto-hunt running longer.
Keep weapon and armor up to date — whenever you can, upgrade the weapon first and the armor after. Outdated equipment stalls your progress.
Use HP and MP potions on auto-use — since your health and mana are low, leaving potions automatic prevents silly deaths during farming.

Where to farm

Auto-hunt on monsters at your level — let the character farm on creatures matching your level to gain XP and items steadily.
Move to harder zones as you advance — as you get stronger, switch to regions with better monsters that give more rewards.
Form a party for raids and bosses — large enemies pay off a lot, and in a group you make up for the Dark Fighter's low health.
Use the Season Pass and daily missions — they're extra reward sources that speed up your progress considerably.

Common beginner mistakes

Forgetting automatic potions — with low HP and MP, playing without potions on auto-use leads to avoidable deaths.
Pulling too many enemies at once — your health is fragile; many targets together drop you fast.
Letting the weapon fall behind — your damage depends heavily on the weapon; a weak weapon stalls all your progress.
Ignoring the passives — forgetting to activate Weapon/Armor Mastery and Shield wastes free defense and attack.

It's for you if…

You like direct combat — charging in and hitting up close, no fuss, is what entertains you most.
You want something easy to learn — a simple kit, perfect for taking your first steps on the server.
You enjoy speed and aggression — reaching targets fast and opening damage spikes suits your way of playing.
