Fighter Star
The ninth Star class, built around fist gauntlets, rage generation, and explosive Berserk windows.
Version: Chapter 1: Sands of Frost
Overview
Fighter Star was introduced with Chapter 1: Sands of Frost as a new close-range class for players who want a faster and more resource-driven melee experience. It does not follow the same rhythm as a mana-based caster or a shield tank. The player builds rage through combat, chooses when to commit to Berserk, and tries to extend the burst window without losing control of the encounter. That creates a high-pressure loop: the class feels strongest when it can stay on a target, but its resource timing and melee commitment make poor entries expensive.

How to play
- Build rage without spending key tools before the target is committed.
