How to Play Warrior Class

You Can Dish It Out and Take It Too

Warriors are known to be capable of soaking in and dishing out damage equally. They usually operate on Melee range so getting some damage is unavoidable.

Build Rage to Perform Skills

Warriors have a unique resource that they use to perform skills called Rage. Rage recovers by dealing damage and soaking up incoming attacks, perfect for the Warrior as the tank of the team.

Switch Between Offensive and Defensive Weapon Presets

Warriors have two weapons: the hybrid Sword and Shield for a balanced playstyle and the offensive two-handed Hammer option for a full-on brutal playstyle. Players can freely change between the two by simply pressing the Switch Weapon button, adjusting on the fly when in a pinch.
