Vindictus Defying Fate: All classes available in the demo

Vindictus Defying Fate is an upcoming online souls-like game developed by Nexon, the famed creators of The First Descendant and The First Berserker: Khazan. This new game is based on the Vindictus MMORPG, presenting a gameplay loop that focuses more on solo play first and cooperative play later, featuring great, responsive melee combat and interesting characters with unique skills.

As such, Vindictus Defying Fate has four available classes in the demo, which are different from each other based on their weapon and playstyle. As such, let’s look at what these classes are and how their playstyles differ.

All four Vindictus Defying Fate classes available in the demo

1) Lann (Twinblades)

If you liked the Dual-wield class in The First Berserker: Khazan, you will love playing as Lann. You can attack quickly using his twinblades and rapidly dodge enemy attacks. However, he cannot block or parry attacks, leaving dodging as your only defense.

This class is ideal if you like to play fast and quickly dash in and out of the enemy’s range. As such, if you enjoy Bloodborne’s dodge-focused combat, you will like this class the most.

2) Fiona (Longsword and Shield)

If you want a more defensive character with great offensive skills to balance it out, Fiona is the class you should start Vindictus Defying Fate with. She wields a longsword in one hand and a shield in another, presenting a traditional hack-and-slash combat similar to shield builds in Dark Souls games.

As Fiona, you will focus more on blocking and parrying enemy attacks to present yourself with opportune moments to strike back. You can pick Fiona as your starting character if you prefer a more tactical approach to real-time combat.

3) Karok (Battle Pillar)

If you like to smash enemies to the ground with brutal attacks using a giant pillar, look no further than Karok. He is a half-giant warrior who uses a battle pillar akin to a hammer. As such, most of his skills revolve around smashing enemies to the ground by jumping on them from the air to inflict massive damage.

If you like a slower character that deals massive damage on every hit, Karok might become your favorite class.

4) Delia (B*stard Sword)

Finally, we have Delia, the B*stard Sword user, You can use her two-handed greatsword to deal massive damage like Karok. In contrast to him, Delia’s attacks have a wider arc and can be charged up to deal more damage, albeit still being equally slow.

For defense, you can use her greatsword to parry incoming attacks, which rewards those who are more precise and have better reflexes. If you like the two-handed greatsword builds in other Souls-like games, pick Delia as your starting character in Vindictus Defying Fate.
