Fairy Tale Spotlight: The Fencer (Earth Defense Force)

One of the most difficult things about playing the Earth Defense Force games is that everything is trying to kill you. And on top of that, there are a lot of things trying to kill you at one time. It is very easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer mass of enemies that can pile on top of you and tear you apart. When armor is in doubt or you just wanna feel like a real tough guy, there is always the Fencer class to help you out.

The Fencer class is a human locked into a suit of power armor. They are tough, heavy, and are the only class that can dual wield weapons. But these weapons! They are not weapons intended for all you regular folk. These are weapons that were meant to be mounted or placed atop a large vehicle... but the fencers can hold them in one hand!

I tell you that there is nothing like holding a howitzer cannon in both hands and blasting them one at a time into a crowd of approaching giant bugs. The shells just blow through them like water. The power armor is doing all of the work. All you have to worry about is pulling that trigger. Seriously, this is probably the manliest class in the whole game.

Because of their extra weight, the Fencer moves really slowly. Even though they can take a massive amount of damage, they can still get overwhelmed. To make up for this, the suit is equipped with booster jets that can either propel the Fencer forward... or up... straight up. In this way, the Fencer can move around the battlefield quickly but still in short bursts of speed. Since these jets have a cool down time of about three seconds, you can still get stuck. (Three seconds doesn't seem like much, but it feels more like ten seconds in the heat of battle.)

Easily, the Fencer class gets all the most devastating weapons. Whether they be giant Gatling guns, super shotguns, or back mounted missile launchers, these weapons hit hard and leave the enemy wishing they had stayed home. The only way to take out a Fencer is to overwhelm him, but even if they manage to kill him, it will cost them countless forces in the process.

I adore the Fencer class for their might. They are one of the four extremely balanced classes in Earth Defense Force. Sometimes you just wanna feel like a tough guy, and the Fencer will always fit the bill.
