Fat Princess Class Guide

The other day, I was watching my brother play Titan's PSN title, Fat Princess, and I became curious about the class and weapon balancing, the strategy and tactics. Most specifically, I wondered if, statistically, it was more beneficial to attack rapidly with a weapon or to continually unleash charged attacks (the answer is to arrive to a battle with a pre-charged attack and then rapid fire like there's no tomorrow). Is it better to take pot shots at enemies as a Archer, or is it better to keep one's distance and snipe them with charged arrows? Which is better: the Archer or the Rifleman?

With these questions in mind, I decided to conduct a study to determine these differences. But I needed some help. So I asked some people to lend me a hand at Playfire. Playfire is an excellent social networking site focused specifically on video games and the people who play them. With the help of LegionofPheonix (my twin), Bobbypick, and LeoDaLyon, we were able to discover the intricacies inherent to Fat Princess. And let me tell you, we learned some pretty useful stuff. For example, did you know that the Dark Priest AOE attack deals zero damage? Or, that a tossed bomb and a fully charged bomb deal an equal amount of damage? Or, did you know that frozen players cannot be harmed? All that said, the most important thing to realize is that these details cannot compensate for poor teamwork. Cooperation is the true strategy. Get that part down first and you'll start racking up the wins in no time.

We were going to type up the information, but my brother and I decided it would be over nine-thousand cooler if we made a nice, streamlined, visual guide for people to reference when needed. So that's what we did. Ergo, I present to you the Fat Princess Class Guide.

 

*Note: Several of the damage amounts are a minimal level and will sometimes fluxuate upward .25 hearts. The bomb, for example, will occasionally deal 1.5 damage, presumably due to distance from explosion.
