Fantastic video, definitely helped me optimize my Fiona gameplay! Exclusive Fiona main since 2012. I just have 1 comment on something I noticed while practicing. Once you learn the boss patterns, but before you've perfected your timing, you might notice when you've mis-timed/spaced a block, and realize you will get hit in the half-second window when your block drops. In that split-second, you can press "w" to initiate Heavy Stander to maintain your shield and maintain the block. I've found this especially helpful when the boss has multiple very similar attack strings that require slightly different timing. Optimally, you never need to do that, but I've found it helps bridge the gap before you perfect your gameplay.

man u do a lot of guides.. of almost all characters.. good job i know someone in the past who did the same but quit long time ago... u must be his predecessor
I will be making a danah guide really soon. I just want to make sure I know the ins and outs in depth before I make the video then have to make another 1 hr video after. Tryna make sure it’s a one stop shop. There’s so much depth to danah and awareness you have to have that makes her so meticulous in gameplay
Dude... I have char "Luaa" on the EU server and I play fiona with hammer / large shield and I tell you. There is no better way to play Fiona. Using butterfly swings to refill your SP is a miracle... Just enhance your armor to give you more attack speed and you will never have any problems. :)
great video man! really helping me out - havent played since 2016 and coming back now -- i didnt even know where to start - AP use to be so hard to get and would take forever let alone seeing the level cap so high now is crazy. I noticed now that there was a fatigue bar? is that like a daily cap or weekly cap?
Good old times, first time i played this game was when it was released with fiona main. I rage quit about 3 times on this game bc of bad rng. Watching your vid for nostalgia reasons haha. Dont have the time anymore to start the game again for a 4th time
@@z00ko yes, bc of combat system i kept coming back to the game. It is unique and i havent encountered a game with such an extraordinary combat system, fast pace paired with elegance. Really sad its going downhill. It deserves a much bigger player base.
Yeah I use those for my danah, she has major stamina problems in redeemers and raids without them, but with 2 slashing highs available on fifi… 1 every 30 seconds and 1 every 1:20 minutes, you don’t ever need stamina with fifi.
@@z00ko im not a fan of danah .im more into evie and fiona and tessa.. about stamina beside slashing high buffi think stamina potions is a good addition well for any character really
You have I frames on Fifi block too. It’s just gotta be very precise in timing. On the first and second counter after block. But you have to delay the counters to the attack if you want to use their i frames
I am returning to this game and I wish to know a few things that was not covered here mostly in reference to cosmetics. First of all I don’t know if pets matter but I was wondering how to go about getting a good one to assist in raids secondly I was wondering about wings in the game and is it really of any use to have on your character. I am currently level 90 as Fiona right now and have most of the skill tree upgraded but I do not know how to get a shield Or a sword like yours. If you can help me out please let me know thanks
Okay pets, always use a superior one and it depends on the pets skills. And some missions pets are disabled. And yes all high priced cosmetics give some stats. Some movement speed, some balance and some of them even attack. And to change the skin of your weapon you need a premium weapon rune. It allows you to change your look and keep the stats of the other weapon
Dk is more for attack speed and immediate dmg. Dk has stuns and dmg abilities. Paladin is more for for defense and slower dmg but hits harder over time. Abilities add defense
@@z00ko hey man, sorry for the late reply - i wasnt able to choose paladin. maybe there was something i missed? Right now i am finding it difficult to find a new shield since lvl 15 any suggestions? i have googled it but, most articles i didnt find very resourceful. Most were dating from 2011 to 2017
@@z00ko wait i thought they equalized DK and Pally abilities besides the slow mobs vs. petrified mobs? is there some advanced bit to DK that gives it more attack speed?

Danggg i haven't played Vindictus in a hot min, I think the last I played was in 2014. I was a hammer, Fiona!
It got a few buffs since then. Check it out
Really cool, make me wanted to play her.
Great guide, my friend is in your guild as well.
Good old times, first time i played this game was when it was released with fiona main. I rage quit about 3 times on this game bc of bad rng. Watching your vid for nostalgia reasons haha. Dont have the time anymore to start the game again for a 4th time
Lol. You aren’t missing anything. Game’s in a bad spot rn. I’d recommend staying away. The combat is the only good thing
@@z00ko yes, bc of combat system i kept coming back to the game. It is unique and i havent encountered a game with such an extraordinary combat system, fast pace paired with elegance. Really sad its going downhill. It deserves a much bigger player base.
Thank you for the tutorial
Really useful , thank you 😊
Do you recommend her for new player who just started and want to make her main
Yes she’s definitely a great pickup character for beginners
Great vid, thank you
An updated guide to fifi

what program that u use to show your keyboard and mouse bro
btw Good vid
Streamlabs obs
Did Fiona lose her ultimate skills? i noticed in the vindictus wiki that crushing assault wasn't listed under her shield and sword list of skills
one thing about stamina.. u also have the stamina potion .. really cheap from brynn shop . u know..
Yeah I use those for my danah, she has major stamina problems in redeemers and raids without them, but with 2 slashing highs available on fifi… 1 every 30 seconds and 1 every 1:20 minutes, you don’t ever need stamina with fifi.

Very hard to perfect block and counter without hit, no . I think Lethor is a better version of Fifi. She have on counters.
You have I frames on Fifi block too. It’s just gotta be very precise in timing. On the first and second counter after block. But you have to delay the counters to the attack if you want to use their i frames

hey man - question - DK or Paladin? pro's and cons?
Dk is more for attack speed and immediate dmg. Dk has stuns and dmg abilities.
Paladin is more for for defense and slower dmg but hits harder over time. Abilities add defense

DK. It just looks cooler.
Just getting back to the game after like 8-9 years and damn things have changed....So we just dont use hammer?
Hammer got buffed, but this was a longsword guide. Hammers okay dmg, but longsword is top 3 dps in the game
@@z00ko Dude... Try hammer combo LLLRLRRR and tell me what gives the ultimate damage hehehehehehhe. HAMMER!
