I’ve cleaved through armies with a butter knife grip on reality itself – that’s what playing a Fighter in Divinity: Original Sin 2 does to your soul. This isn’t just a class; it’s an earthquake wearing plate mail, a walking oil spill that somehow becomes more dangerous when set on fire. Let me show you how to turn battlefield chaos into your personal playground.

🔥 The Art of Controlled Demolition

Fighters don’t just attack – they rearrange reality through Warfare and Geomancy. Imagine being a sculptor whose chisel is a greataxe, except your marble screams and bleeds. The Warfare tree turns you into a living siege engine, while Geomancy lets you paint the battlefield in oil slicks that become your armor – like some demented Bob Ross of carnage.

Essential Skills That Make Gods Nervous:

  • Battering Ram: The ultimate ‘personal space invader’ skill. Charging through enemies is like bowling with live grenades instead of pins.

  • 🛡️ Fortify: Turns your skin into fortress walls. Pro tip: walking through fire traps while singing ‘This armor’s on fire’ never gets old.

  • Blitz Attack: Teleport-strike that’s part lightning bolt, part lottery ticket (enemy selection’s random!).

🌋 Advanced Combat Alchemy

Our secret sauce? Turning environmental hazards into tactical advantages. That oil puddle everyone avoids? To us, it’s a spa treatment:

Skill Effect Crazy Combo Potential
Oily Carapace Oil → Armor Combine with Phoenix Dive’s fire for explosive manicure
Earthquake Creates oil puddles Makes every fight a slip-n-slide of doom
Impalement Area slow Turns enemy groups into frustrated snails

People Also Ask:

  • "Can fighters really tank AND deal damage?"

→ Yes, like a wrecking ball covered in bubble wrap.

  • "What’s better – single target or crowd control?"

→ Why choose? Whirlwind hits everyone nearby with 100% weapon damage – it’s like becoming a human blender.

💥 Critical Mass Carnage

The real magic happens when you mix Enrage with multi-hit skills. Activating Enrage is like loading your sword with fireworks – your next two turns become critical hit parades:

  1. Whirlwind → Spin attack with guaranteed crits

  2. Onslaught → 5-hit combo that turns bosses into colanders

  3. Phoenix Dive → Reposition while leaving fiery ‘breadcrumbs’

🐦 Phoenix Metaphors That Write Themselves

This class plays like if a volcano adopted a porcupine. Phoenix Dive isn’t just mobility – it’s a statement. You’re not avoiding attacks; you’re redecorating the battlefield with fire patterns that would make a dragon jealous. Land in oil? Congratulations, you’ve just created a BBQ pit where enemies are the ribs.

Final Pro Tips:

  • Use Earthquake first to create oil, then Oily Carapace for defense

  • Combine Battering Ram knockdowns with Opportunity Attacks

  • Always carry nails for your boots – slipping on your own oil is not badass

This isn’t just a class build – it’s a natural disaster with health regeneration. The Fighter transforms every battle into a choose-your-own-apocalypse simulator, where the only limit is how many enemies you can set on fire before lunch. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go practice my evil laugh while standing in a burning oil slick.
