Fighter - Class Tree
Fighter (Playable in Starter Set)
The most adaptable martial class in Essentia, Fighters are defined by mastery of raw combat fundamentals, developing unmatched weapon mastery through sheer repetition and battlefield Experience (XP) that no trained academic can replicate, making them the most reliable class in sustained combat regardless of the situation they find themselves in.

‡ Abilities from their respective trees are summarized below. Ability Cards are released with Module and their expansions, supporting various Character Levels, and list the DIFS for any check an Ability requires. Refer pg. 6 for more on Ability Cards.
Note: Main Class baseline stats, Armament requirements and thresholds, and other Class features change depending on the Classes Tier, Path or Branch as noted in each respective Sub-Class.

To draw a Path's Higher Power bonus you must hold that Path's exact base Alignment, and that same base is what its three Branches require (see Alignment, pg. 2).
