What is Dungeon Fighter?
Dungeon Fighter is a free game that is derived from elements found in a fighting game like Street Fighter, a beat em up like Streets of Rage, and an RPG like Diablo 2. The feel of the game will depend on what class you choose to play and you can use your arcade stick to manually shoot “hadoukens” or use the hotkey system like Starcraft.
Here are some links you should be aware of (also these sites have a few errors, so consult others before making your character):
DFO wiki: DFO World Wiki

How do I start?
- You go to the official Nexon DFO Site (Internet Explorer is suggested for best compatability) and click on the large red button that says START GAME. The game will automatically start. If you do not have the current DFO installed then it will install and patch and start the game.
- If this is your first time playing, you will have to CREATE a character in order to play (if you do not have a Nexon id then you will be asked to create one as well in order to access Nexon games), which leads us to the next question.
Which character should I start with?
Your initial choices for characters are:
Fighter: Fighter - DFO World Wiki
Gunner: Gunner - DFO World Wiki
Slayer: Slayer - DFO World Wiki
Mage: Mage - DFO World Wiki
Priest: Priest - DFO World Wiki
Female Gunner (June 9): Female Gunner - DFO World Wiki
Thief (tba): Thief - DFO World Wiki
If you click on Mage - DFO World Wiki and scroll down a little, you will see that all Mages start out with access to certain skills. At level 18, all characters can choose a class advancement, and when you advance you get access to a ton of new skills.
When a character advances its class, the stats it receives per level change. It also receives access to a ton of new class specific skills, including a new armor mastery. You should be aware of which advancements exist, as you should create your character based on the advanced class you want, which vary greatly.
Lets look at a Mage for example, which can advance to:
Battle Mage: Battle Mage - DFO World Wiki
Elementalist: Elementalist - DFO World Wiki
Summoner: Summoner - DFO World Wiki
Witch: Witch - DFO World Wiki
Generally speaking and greatly oversimplifying, the Battle Mage is a melee type, the Elementalist uses strong elemental attacks, the Summoner summons stuff, and the Witch uses probability based skills. In addition, looking closer, a character within each advancement can vary greatly.
Lets look at the Witch for example. The Witch not only has a myriad of diverse skills, but the skills are also divided into four elements. Generally, before making a Witch, most choose two element masteries to focus on that supplement their skills, which depend on what you want your character to do. For example, if you melee you should get a dust, if you want to crowd control and debuff monsters you get skills like shururu and manteau, etc.
Okay, so I read all that stuff, so how does each character play, I still don’t know what to choose!
Before I go into the advanced classes, you have to understand that some skills’ damage is percent based on the weapon, some are purely fixed and do damage based on the skill and don’t use your base weapon damage, while some are a combination of both percent and fixed. If you’re new to DFO, you might want to start with a fixed damage character. With gold, weapons can be upgraded and percent characters take advantage of over-upgraded weapons, while non-upgraded weapons for percent characters are just balanced and not overpowered. Quest rewards give decent items, so don’t be discouraged to make a percent based character.
You also want to determine if you want to be pure PvE (optimized to clear dungeons), pure PvP (optimized to win against other players in the arena), or a hybrid (decent at both PvE and PvP but not as good at PvE as a pure PvE and not as good at PvP as a pure PvP build).

Offline thread to be posted later which details specifics, along with videos that show why DFO is so pringles and awesome.
