The massive multiplayer beat ‘em up RPG Dungeon Fighter Online officially introduced a new class to its roster of characters. Dungeon Fighter Online is a 2D, anime art-style game that combines the high-energy action of old-school side-scrolling brawlers with some classic RPG elements. Since its launch in 2015, DFO has garnered a loyal global user base. The game features detailed customization options and various dungeons and raids for players to take on cooperatively. Players can also opt to dive in solo, but overcoming some of the more powerful bosses may require strategic teamwork for those who want to succeed.
Dungeon Fighter Online is known for its distinct combat system, and fast-paced side-scrolling action combat, where players can combine combos and dodge-timing fighting mechanics. The game also offers modern and retro pixel art styles, which can be toggled based on player preferences.
Choose Your Fighter
Currently, the game allows players to choose from 17 base characters, each specializing in unique combat styles. Slayer, Fighter, Gunner, Mage, Thief, and the Knight are just a few of the current choices. These character options branch further into four to five different advancements, offering over sixty options to awaken your character’s potential. Various equipment upgrades, enhancement through runes or talismans, and aesthetic customization features allow players to express themselves and make their characters their own. DFO’s latest update, launched on July 25th, introduces the Archer Class to the battlefield.
Grab Your Bow and Get Ready to Unleash Your Arrows
DFO players can now play as the Archer character and we all know you can't have a dungeon-crawling RPG without a capable bow-and-arrow class! The Archer debuted on July 25th, bringing another level of depth to Dungeon Fighter Online’s roster of characters. Her unique play style and mechanics blend agility and precision, specializing in ranged combat, helping deliver a new update for seasoned DFO players while adding some options for players jumping in for the first time. The Archer gives players access to two advanced class options (aka advancements): the harmonious Muse and the mist-laden Traveler.
The Muse advancement option serves as a buffer class, allowing the Archer to use her musical abilities to wield the Lyra Bow. This new signature weapon will enable her to fire off melody-infused arrows that bolster the strength and morale of her allies while still dealing damage to enemies on the battlefield. This support role is critical, and the Muse’s abilities focus on enhancing her teammates’ abilities, making her a valuable addition to any party-based combat scenario. Her harmonious medley of buffs and ranged attacks allows the Muse to help turn the tide of battle by boosting her entire team.
The Traveler advancement is a DPS (damage per second) class. The Traveler uses her Mist Gear and Longbow to unleash powerful auxiliary missiles onto the battlefield, causing widespread havoc on enemies. The Traveler’s skills focus on area damage, massive output, and crowd control. This second customization option promises fast-paced action and adrenaline-pumping gameplay.
It’s A Celebration!
DFO has planned a series of events and rewards for both new and veteran players to celebrate the arrival of the new Archer character. Players can log in and jump into fast leveling modes (a mode where players can reach cap level 110 in one day), receive daily login rewards, and gain new dungeon completion perks. Another update is an event that allows players to duplicate the Archer’s equipment onto another character of their choice, enabling players to explore and try out different characters. Players can also tune into DFO Twitch streams to earn even more official Twitch Drops rewards this summer.
Dungeon Fighter Online is expanding its reach by launching on the Epic Games Store. If you’re new to DFO, you can play from their official website service, STEAM, or the Epic Games Store. So come grab your bow and jump into the new Dungeon Fighter Online update!
