Like any other RPG, you start by customizing your character.
Once you’re satisfied with your character creation, you’ll need to pick a starting vocation.
Is aught amiss, Arisen?
Perhaps this advice may help.
You have four options to choose from: Fighter, Archer, Thief, or Mage.
While all of them are valid choices, certain vocations will be more suited to your preferred gameplay style.
Each starting vocation comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses.
Let’s break it all down for you to help you decide.
Fighter
The Fightervocation embodies sheer strength, where youwield a sword and shieldwith prowess on the battlefield.
The shield provides invaluable protection, allowing you toblock and parry enemy strikeswhile maintaining a good offense.
However, the Fighter may encounterdifficulties when facing flying enemiessuch as harpies or griffins.
Nevertheless, the Fighter serves as an excellent starting vocation,particularly for beginners seeking a straightforward combat experience.
Archer
The Archerstands as the antithesis to the Fighter,excelling at long-distance combat.
Armedwith a bow, they unleash precise attacks from afar, making it easy totarget enemies' weak spots.
Their skillset is perfect forcreating openings for their companions at the vanguard to exploit.
However, while the Archer shines in open-world encounters,they face considerable challenges in close-range combat.
Their lack of close-range abilities makes them vulnerable in confined spaces, such as caves.
In such environments,staying alertand maintaining distance from enemies becomes paramount for survival.
Despite these limitations, the Archer’s vocation can be leveraged to gain an advantage in confined spaces.
Knowing when to strike and when to slip away is keyto their effectiveness on the battlefield.
Mage
The Magevocation is arguably one of the best starting options in the game.
As the name suggests,it specializes in magick attacks from a distanceandprovides support to your party.
Similar to the Archer, Mages excel atkeeping their distance and are less effective in close combat.
However, they can laterexploit elemental weaknesses of enemies, providing invaluable support to their party.
