The Warrior Champion

When beginning the game of Rift, you have the option to choose which characters you will like to play as. The following is the first in our introduction to all of the players that you can play as within the game Rift.

The Warrior: Champion

The Warrior calling is one of brute force and ground attacks. Within the Warrior calling the Champion class rises to the front as the strongest, and most ferocious ground attack fighter within the game. You will not across another Warrior Champion with similar vitality or strength. For this reason, the Rift Warrior Champion wields a very deadly two handed broadsword and might even use a huge battle ax if the opportunity presents itself.

The only weakness to the Rift Warrior Champion is that they are often too quick to rush into battle and therefore get themselves in over their heads quite easily. As long as the player is aware of this fact, this profession is a very easy one to fall in love with.

The history of the Warrior Champion from the Rift Website:

Champion History

Vachir Altan, the Bahmi Warrior, was the first to bear the title of Champion. He originally came to renown for his battle with Crucia's whelp Arconis, known as the Bane of Kerenton. Though the local human population viewed Vachir with suspicion when he rode into town, the Warrior ignored their furtive glances and within hours, entered the dragon spawn's lair in the ruins of Castle Kerenton.

He bull-rushed the wyrm with reckless abandon, and the two fought an epic battle across the once-great stronghold. In the end, Arconis lay dead in the courtyard, Altan’s great blade impaled in his throat. "Start a fire. We feast tonight," was all Vachir said to the townsfolk. That evening he enjoyed the hospitality of the people of Kerenton, but by morning he was gone, and many more tales of his exploits are told throughout Telara.

While Vachir's disciples are numerous among the Bahmi of the Canyons, the duchy of Kerenton has also produced its share of blue-skinned Champions, who brashly rode forth from native borders. No matter whence they hail, all Champions seek to overcome the impossible through mastery of the blade.
