Parting thoughts
The melee fighter is one of the game’s most versatile builds, capable of dealing massive amounts of damage while also defending themselves in dangerous situations. You can build the character in various ways; maybe lean a bit towards lifesteal if you don’t prefer bandages or more towards stamina regen if you do a lot of running. You could perhaps consider taming a horse to faster get around the vast world.
There’s a lot to discover, and we’d love to see your own custom melee fighter builds in the comments section. Don’t worry about getting stuck, as we have numerous guides to help you along the way.
