Avowed: Best Early Weapons for Fighter
The Fighter class is one of the most traditional specializations in any RPG, focusing on combat-heavy tactics. With this guide, we'll show the best early weapons you can get as a Fighter in Avowed, shining a light on the game's high-damaging tools. What are the best Early Weapons for the Fighter class in Avowed? With the Fighter class, you'll have advantages using weapons like axes, maces, and two-handed tools, creating unique weapon combinations for your builds. This specialization also thrives with shields, mixing in some defense with its offense. Let's break down all the best starter weapons (in Dawnshore) to improve your Fighter class in Avowed. Seven Strivings Great Axe Screenshot by Destructoid Location: Dawnshore's The Falls (Found in a cave in the Kill Ralga quest) Stats: 160 Physical Damage 154 Stun 22 Stamina Cost 6% Critical Hit Chance Determined Step: 15% Move Speed for 10 seconds upon enemy elimination Vicious Strikes: +5% Critical Hit Chance Seven Strivings Great Axe offers the highest Physical Damage out of any early Fighter weapons, which has the potential to unleash one-hit kills. This axe also performs exceptionally well with stuns to throw your enemies off. As a Unique weapon, it'll provide more movement speed and critical hits, differing from the Common-type version of this tool. Wind and Wave Shield Screenshot by Destructoid Location: Captain Henqua’s Spoils Treasure Map location Stats: 63 Block Efficiency 20 Stability 220 Parry Efficiency 30 Elemental Resistance Lesser Quickness: +10% Move Speed Lesser Freeze-Proofed: +20% Resistance to Frost Accumulation Given the Fighter class's proficiency in blocks, it's crucial to have a shield that complements this skill. The Wind and Wave stands out as one of the best early shields, excelling in parrying and movement speed. The best part? It's completely free once you unravel the mysteries of its treasure map. The Philosopher's Riddle Two-Handed Sword Screenshot by Destructoid Location: Northwest rock terrain of Castol's Folly Stats: 135 Physical Damage 140 Stun 20 Stamina Cost 3% Critical Hit Chance Aggressive Debate: 15% Attack Speed for 10 seconds after unleashing a Full Combo Attack Poison Lash: Hits deal +10% bonus Poison Damage Whether you're on the Precious Light side quest or the hunt for the Totem of Rightful Rulership, you can discover the Philospher's Riddle on the ground of Castol's Folly. You'll feel powerful holding this bad boy, especially when you trigger its Aggressive Debate skill with a sweet combo. Plus, the Philosopher's Riddle inflicts Poison Damage to deal considerable damage to foes over time. Fine Great Hammer Screenshot by Destructoid Location: Gweneth's Store at Paradis Stats: 111 Physical Damage 108 Stun 25 Stamina Cost 3% Critical Hit Chance If you ever dreamed of holding Thor's Mjolnir, you can try out this Fine Great Hammer. Unfortunately, it will come at a cost of 3,600 gold, but you may be able to get it for free by exploring around Dawnshore. The one at Gweneth's Store offers a pretty high damage and stun rate, making it almost too easy to eliminate foes. Fine Mace Screenshot by Destructoid Location: Gweneth's Store at Paradis Stats: 68 Physical Damage 72 Stun 18 Stamina Cost 3% Critical Hit Chance Most weapons on this list come with a slight disadvantage of high Stamina cost, so you may opt for smaller weapons like the Mace. You can purchase the Fine Mace for 3,000 gold at the Paradis shop during the beginning stages. Although it doesn't have as much damage as the Great Swords and Great Hammers, you'll at least have more movement benefits. Drawn in Winter One-Handed Axe Screenshot by Destructoid Location: Watcher's Mirror Pond (Call of the Past side quest) Stats: 90 Physical Damage 98 Stun 15 Stamina Cost 6% Critical Hit Chance Rising Chill: Power Attacks deal moderate Frost Accumulation to nearby enemies Freezing Lash: Hits deal +10% bonus Frost Damage The Drawn in Winter makes you feel like a fearsome frosty warrior as you deal Frost Damage with each swing. It'll work well with foes who are vulnerable to this element and deal decent damage to those who are not. The only downside is that you must go up against a bunch of skeletons once you claim the axe at the center of the Watcher's Mirror Pond.
