I'm replaying the game as a fighter and preparing myself for the DLC. This video is great as a guide.

I will never get bored of seeing these dd2 montages to sonic music

the sonic black knight ost is a fkn throwback hoooly

Thank you queen for bestowing your knowledge upon us and bringing out the inner chad in all of us ❤

Since watching this guide, I now only miss 99.9% of my Riotous Fury!
10/10 will recommend.

When I see or hear people say "They dumbed down fighter and gave it less skills" it shocks me. They consolidated ALOT of skills for convenience and improved on them significantly. I'd argue that all the skills are usable AND fun now depending on your playstyle. Especially with the new changes to stats and combat. Amazing video as always Cringe, thank you for all you do!

In light of the recent video, I just want to thank you Infinite Cringe for these great videos. Even if you didn't like how some turned out, I enjoyed them all. All the best.

fighter animations are so cool and badass

Vengeful slash is so stupidly safe. While it does drain stamina while in its stance its so little that i often found myself unpunished for just standing there for 2 whole seconds. While I found Hindsight slash much more fun to use I felt like I was making things more difficult for myself without needing to. The knockdown power of vengeful can also not be understated its insane against anything but golems and maybe drakes. I really wish it acted more like a traditional parry because right now it essentially makes you invincible while waiting for some idiot to hit your shield. The reverse is also true: bandits that use this skill are annoying a hell to deal with cause there is nothing you can do but wait (unless you can grab them out of it but Im pretty sure you cant). Its an amazing skill that the fighter kind of needs. Its my favourite vocation as well but I do feel as though it has to work much harder than other vocations like thief or even warrior. Really wish Dragon's Maw was here but perhaps in nerfed form (the I frames were a little insane lol) cause the new maister skill feels a bit too punishing.

done.

I play fighter just for the aura alone

1:35 nuh uh thief gets 2 daggers!

Anyone see the pawn grumbling and complaining as a sign of Dragon plague 😭

Another quirk of hindsight slash is that you're able to control the direction of movement twice: once during the initial dodge and again during the counterattack. The dodge will go in the opposite direction of your input, while the counterattack goes in the same direction as your input - if you make a forward input for the dodge, then switch to a backward input for the counterattack, you will effectively double your backwards evasion, if you need a little bit of extra space.

With proper timing and aim, you can also use hindsight slash to curve around an enemy and hit them in the back by facing away from them when you activate the skill, then turning your input back towards them on the counter. This is especially useful for getting cheeky tail cuts on saurians.

FIGHTER will be sooooo dope with 6 skillslots!

Oblivion was also my first RPG. My character was an Argonian whose face was always too small. It was my favorite game until my older brother let me play Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen one day. Now, we both begin our Dragon's Dogma 2 playthrough (can't wait for the broken augments and skills).

Considering they’re giving us 2 extra skill slots is going to be WILD for this vocation.

Went a whole NG+ as fighter without the shield, as fun as it was playing as an assassin gouging enemies and dodging with hindsight sweep... Its just not the same as true deflecting, plus there's no real benefit to playing without a shield which I'm surprised there isn't a ring or something for that.

Very underrated augment I think you should run on fighter is Asperity, which increases the likelihood to inflict debilitation with your attacks by 20%. So you can burn, freeze, and stun enemies way faster.
This video has really solidified my appreciation for fighter as vocation. From the bottom of my heart (Arisen: If I have one!!!) Thank you

This video was going to be entertaining, you're just too good for that to not happen. But actually having real, cleanly visible and appropriate clips for everything you described was just top tier.
I don't even have the game and my skills have already improved just from watching this video.

Sonic and the black knight is my favorite sonic game! And I should have expected such good music from someone with such exquisite taste
