Kliff is the first available character that you will play in Crimson Desert. You can equip 2 weapons from different categories, including ranged, melee, shields, and unarmed combat. When playing as Kliff, you have the option to wield a Sword and Shield, Dual Blades, or a Bow and Arrow in 2 different weapon slots, the primary and the secondary, allowing you to take on different types of enemies that you'll come across. Being a highly versatile soldier, players can smoothly change their combat approach by switching styles appropriate for the situation. You can start a fight by taking out enemies with your Bow and Arrow, then switch to a more physical approach with a Sword and Shield, or engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Aside from using weapons, you also gain access to a skill tree, unlocking special actions, abilities, and Unarmed Combat. These skills can be used on their own, but some may require using specific equipment, such as a Shield Bash, where you can bash and strike a target with your shield, while you block incoming attacks. This skill can only be used while you're wielding a shield, and it's best to actively look out for any requirements for using skills. Unarmed Combat lets you overpower enemies with your bare fists when engaging them in a hand-to-hand fight. This is a fighting style that lets you take down enemies without relying on weapons, highlighting sheer brute force and martial art techniques. Through different sub-skills, Unarmed Combat can unlock modifiers that let you bring enemies down to the ground, kicking, devastating strikes, powerful punches, and other ways to neutralize your enemies. Sub skills for Unarmed Combat are the following:
- Flurry of Blows - Unleash a whirlwind of devastating strikes.
- Iron Fists - Step forward as you unleash a series of powerful punches.
- Leg Sweep - After rolling, sweep your enemy's legs with a low kick.
- Scissor Takedown - While crouching, you can wrap your legs around an enemy to bring them down to the ground.
- Unarmed Combat Expertise - Allows you to use a wider variety of skills.
- Unarmed Combat Proficiency - Adds a strike skill combo.
As you unlock more skills for Kliff, you'll discover additional ways to overpower or outmaneuver your enemies. There's a combat resource called Spirit and Stamina, where Spirit is consumed when you perform certain skills, while Stamina is used up when doing actions like dodging or moving. Skills that require spirit are typically found under the Green nodes or the bottom left of the skill tree, while the Stamina skills are found under the Red nodes or at the bottom right. Green node skills are attuned with Kliff's supernatural ability and his inner power, where you can unlock skills to move heavy objects, enter a focused state for heightened perception of his surroundings, a force palm to control the energy that flows through him, and a few evasive dodge and roll.
Red node skills highlight the use of Axiom Force, a resource that Kliff can use to perform impossible feats, along with skills that let him conjure elemental abilities like lightning, flame, and frost. Some nodes unlock special movement like Aerial Roll, Aerial Maneuver, and Aerial Swing, allowing Kliff to catch up to targets or escape deadly encounters. Overall, Kliff is a well-rounded character who can manage different combat approaches. Kliff is the perfect starting character that can handle traditional fighting styles, with maneuvers like rolling, dodging, and parrying. For those who prefer the experience of hand-in-hand combat, Kliff can also unlock skills that enhance his abilities and expand his movesets for this fighting style.
