Fighter build guide
Fighters mix damage and durability. The key: tough enough to survive in the middle of a fight, dangerous enough to be feared.
Buy order
The usual order; adapt it to how the game goes
1. Early: boots
Warrior Boots against physical, Tough Boots against magic and CC.
2. Core items
Damage items that also add HP or sustain.
3. Situational defense
Match the enemy's main damage type.
4. Survive
For the late game.
