Fencer Skills

Build Notes +

Fencer is the spear-side Fighter path. Spear builds usually want Spear Mastery, Increase Spear Accuracy, and Spear Delay Cancel first, then choose between direct attacks like Flying Spear and control tools like Charge, Furious Charge, and Feint.

Defensive builds can add High Guard, Thrust Guard, and Parry for short windows of protection. Counterattack and Parry remove each other, so treat them as alternate states rather than buffs to stack.

Most Fencers still benefit from Increase Maximum HP, Increase Maximum SP, and the recovery passives because many active spear and blow skills spend SP quickly.

Parry +

While active, incoming attacks have a 30% chance to be avoided. If Counterattack is active, Parry removes it first.

Counterattack +

Waits for an incoming hit. When triggered, the skill halves that incoming damage, ends the Counterattack effect, then performs a counter hit. If Parry is active, Counterattack removes it first.

Feint +

Checks the target for delay cancel effects, Gunmaster, Parry, Counterattack, or Gladiator. If one is found, Feint removes it and has a 65% chance to apply Stiffness to the target.

If no valid state is found, Feint applies Stiffness to the caster instead.

Shield Mastery +

Enables a shield guard check while a shield is equipped. When the guard check succeeds, the incoming attack is guarded instead of using the normal hit result.

This skill also improves later blocking effects that read Shield Mastery level.

Increase Spear Accuracy +

Knocks the target back 2 cells, then deals blow damage. If the knockback hits a wall, the skill uses the wall-hit damage rate.

Spear Delay Cancel +

Removes existing delay cancel effects, then applies Spear Delay Cancel.

Final bonus: 2 * skill level + min(floor(base bonus DEF * scaling rate), skill level * 4 + 2)

Thrust Guard +

Reduces incoming stab-type attack damage for a short duration.
