Toymaker
[p]There’s an old saying in Fahrul: A tortured soul makes exceptional art.[/p][p]A mantra our Toymaker lives by, perhaps, however, a little too literally.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/f16369773c53d129e77d6b17b4723871cf60abca.png"][/img][/p][p]The Toymaker’s primary skill, Plaything, brings summonable allies to your side of the combat grid using a unique plethora of stuffed plush toys—and, most importantly, the tormented essence of those shortsighted enough to find themselves in the path of our quirky artisan. On the defeat of an enemy, the Toymaker has a percentile chance to force the soul of their now deceased target into an appropriately creepy doll. That percentage is calculated based on the Talent and Luck of the Toymaker.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/06c3a88e778138c3b25d01d348fdf66a03599414.png"][/img][/p][p]Upon combat end, the doll enters the regular loot pool, allowing the Toymaker or other players in the party to take and use the doll in future combat encounters to summon an enemy of the same category. [/p][p]Those categories are: Fae, Human, Undead, Beast, and Occult.[/p][p]When it comes to splash damage, Plaything will still activate on your primary target, so there’s no need to limit your Toymaker to just single-target attacks![/p][p][/p][p]The Toymaker makes a great forward damage unit specializing in Talent weapons. That roster of weapons doesn’t just include the current musical weapons in-game already, but also opens up with the new Rapiers and the Katana weapon family that will be joining alongside the Child Of Chaos DLC.[/p][p]This allows the Toymaker to fill the slot that a Minstrel or Busker may opt to take as either the party Banker, grouping their Talent gear up with Gold Multipliers, or even a heavy hitter such as the Stablehand by embracing their Plaything ability and becoming the party’s damage dealer.[/p][p][/p][p]The Toymaker’s strong preference for talent-based weapons pairs perfectly with their starting gear, the new Rapier and Button Shield, and their expert weapon, unlocked upon completing a chapter with the Toymaker, the Toygun.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/7c8518bf07a4e89bcc997276671cd2e45dd4f911.png"][/img]The Rapier enables the Toymaker to make the most of Plaything by providing two Primary Actions right from the start, allowing them to prioritize finishing enemies off in favour of getting more procs of Plaything and providing the party with a selection of summonable companions for future combat sessions.[/p][p]When combined with the Focus restoration that both Monk and Fortune Teller offer with Discipline and Gather Focus, respectively, the Toymaker offers Adventurers a new way to push back against the forces of Queen Rosomon and the mysterious forces that plague Fahrul in the Child Of Chaos![/p][p][/p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/1193ab92b1f058e4b66d96c7edcd4f1f26a032fa.png"][/img]
[p][/p]Fortune Teller
[p]The Fortune Teller brings some new mechanics to For The King II that we can’t wait for players to get their hands on! Introducing a more support-focused class to the realm of Fahrul, the Fortune Teller comes equipped with their mysterious Orb, Tarot, and the strings of Fate all in the palms of their hands.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/284a46e994deeea4a7b9276e9ceb7d5e49a0545e.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Relying on the whims of destiny, the Fortune Teller’s Fate skill has a chance to pull a Tarot Card directly to their inventory at the end of a turn. This Tarot Card, when played, grants one of many random effects inspired by the Major Arcana to a member of your party, ranging from Purified status or increased stats to some less conventional buffs and mysteries for you to discover![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/907764e2aa70bef5d9c5f464520e2691741121e5.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Their derision of destiny doesn’t end there, however! The Fortune Teller’s second skill, Fortune, offers party members a chance to re-roll some of the less fortunate results that plague their rolls throughout combat and encounters in Fahrul. When failing a roll by more than 50% there’s a chance you’ll see the Fortune Teller step in to coerce the fates to let you have another try at it.[/p][p]This impressive deck of skills provides an innate support function to the Fortune Teller, improved only by the addition of their starting weapon, the Orb.[/p][p]Providing a unique mechanic not seen in For The King II before, the new Orb weapon family brings charge attacks to the fray![/p][p]Each turn, the Fortune Teller may opt instead of attacking to charge their attack for more damage, allowing them to deliver deadly damage when given protection from fellow party members while they store up immense power![/p][p]But fear not, players equipped with the Orb may spend a Secondary Action to rejuvenate Focus for themselves or a party member, allowing them to continue providing support even while charging their deadly attack.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/4803919e70fd0d0386d87878fd0b6d08f295381f.png"][/img][/p][p]Players may even find synergy between the Fortune Teller and a slew of other characters from the roster! Providing Focus each turn to allow the Stablehand to make the most of their Hardwork ability is just one of those synergies. We'll also have some class synergy guides launching around release, so keep an eye out for those![/p][p][/p]

[p][/p]Monk
[p]The Monk makes their glorious return to For The King II for free—bringing their support-heavy toolkit from For The King, with just some slight tweaks to help them fit into the new mechanics and setting of FTK2.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/ee7089a1ce110b3576426ff7f67e76ac56948c8f.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]We wanted the Monk to retain their role and charm from FTK, so they come equipped with Party Heal right off the bat, accompanying the Herbalist as the only other class with this skill straight from Loadout.[/p][p]Their starting weapon, the Ceremonial Staff, belongs to the new Long Staff family of weapons. Granting the Monk Focus restoration for themself, or a party member. The Monk's arduous trials and training have also led to some immaculate combat skills, allowing the Monk to occasionally Deflect incoming projectile attacks back at their assailant.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/11cbbc0543a31fbe76457c3b2d9c9c7b139db7fe.png"][/img][/p][p]Party Heal allows the Monk to use Godsbeard in combat and at rest phases throughout the game to heal the party. When in combat, this comes as a splash effect, healing all party members within the radius on the battle grid, providing a 50% heal for those not the primary target.[/p][p]At rest phase, this provides a heal to all party members once again at the cost of a Godsbeard. You can combine this with the Pipes you can find on your adventures to get increased heals, Focus restoration, and even temporary stat increases.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/707032a2af9d8eb8381754301c7033067857d2ae.png"][/img]The Monk's final skill, Discipline, goes above and beyond when it comes to Focus restoration, providing any member of the party with zero Focus with an additional point whenever the Monk finishes off an enemy in combat. This can affect the whole party, meaning the Monk's deadly addition to combat might be the key to helping all your Focus-hungry teammates stay locked in![/p][p][/p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42430794/1193ab92b1f058e4b66d96c7edcd4f1f26a032fa.png"][/img]
