As a counterpart to the soldier, the dancer focuses on leading light weapons. She exchanges punch for speed and dives with its high endurance reserves under opposing attacks. Choose the dancer if you want to use fast weapons ** like claws, double swords or subjects.

The dancer relies on the attribute of clothes that improves the damage with light weapons and increases the narcotic damage. The more anesthetic damage is caused, the faster the diamond symbol fills up in the opponent's torso. If the symbol is filled, the opponent is stunned and is open to a critical hit.

Almost all opponents in Steel rising have elementary resistance . It can happen that you will deal with a boss where you cannot get along with your main weapon. For this reason, you should always carry two weapons of different elements.

The special techniques of your weapons with which you can build elementary states consume alchemy capsules . If the capsules go out, you lose a large part of your strength. You can buy alchemy capsules at any time in the boutique or to capture the dead opponents. The higher your construction value, the higher the chance of finding prey.

How should I distribute my attribute points?

At the beginning of the game, we recommend that you put 3 points in robustness and 3 points in vigor. Then you increase elementary alchemy to 10 and construction to 5. Decide whether you prefer to play heavy and fast weapons and invest either points or dexterity.

Which starter class should I play?

Once you want to familiarize yourself with the basic mechanics or have not yet played as many souls likes, you should choose the soldier . The soldier starts with an enormously strong weapon and should bring you through the first hours of the game without any problems.

We definitely recommend more experienced soulslike veterans to the alchemist . The alchemist captivates with a unique feeling that distinguishes her from all other starter classes.
