-The {{GoFi}} , also known as "The King of Ding", is all about weaponizing your experience bar. It's a bit on the "awesome but impractical" side of things, especially before you get familiar with it and develop your kingdom a bit (namely the items and goods you have at your disposal).
+The {{GoFi}}, also known as "The King of Ding", is all about weaponizing your experience bar. It's a bit on the "awesome but impractical" side of things, especially before you get familiar with it and develop your kingdom a bit (namely the items and goods you have at your disposal).
 What you'll be looking to do is boost your health and mana and ding your big bars at the right times for big refills. It's essentially like being an extra efficient goblin - it takes killing even fewer things to level up, you get to round up and keep more popcorn than usual, and if you boost your bars well enough, most likely using gods, you're very likely to get in a few of those very valuable high level dings for high level hits.
-If this seems vague it's because this is probably the most open-ended combination you can immagine. Grab a god that rewards you for converting stuff, a god which rewards you for leveling up, or a god which lets you benefit from either and go nuts. Every goblin is a popcorn-munching stat-bar padding ding-monger, as are most fighters, so the guide for this combination should be a well written goblin racial page.

-How to truly pull it off on an early kingdom or without the help of gods is tricky, as items in general don't really let you pad your bars as much as gods do. Try to get efficient kills, use glyphs to ding, get as high level as possible (and that can be very high indeed) and unload your potions and death protections if you have any.

 Your {{s|PISORF}} game is obscene. The glyph works off base damage, which the Orc converts for. The orc likes to explore a lot early to find stuff to convert, and the Pisorf spammer likes to explore early to line up monsters to slap into one another. A Fighter would need glyphs to level, but an Orc can convert them for early damage wich serves the same purpose. But the damage also makes {{s|PISORF}} stronger, which means it gets applied via a glyph, and the fighter is a great spellcaster. The fighter dings easily, which lets him refill mana to cast more {{s|PISORF}}.
-The preffered starting god is {{g|Binlor Ironshield}} for the glyph, but the race/class/deity combination is so strong that there isn't a real need to swap out most often. End game {{boon|Stone Skin}} spam is actually synergistic with being an {{OrFi}} (lets you get hits in), as are his damage boons (they amplify your Orc damage bonuses). There are many other ways to play the combination, naturally, this one is just the most  synergistic.

-This is a frequent [[Quests#The_Perpetual_Questing_Initiative|PQI]] combination, and it pays to learn to handle it. As long as the PQI isn't asking for {{badge|Warmonger}} (no glyph use, so no {{s|PISORF}}) or {{badge|Faithless}} (no gods, so no {{g|Binlor Ironshield}} for guaranteed {{s|PISORF}}), or {{badge|Purist}} (no preps) in which case - have a fun little challenge.

-Otherwise just prep {{g|Binlor Ironshield}} and the {{i|Crystal Ball}}, explore for early damage boosts (other glyphs to convert, mainly) and position monsters into a big pile as you explore. Grab an easy L4 monster along the way if you want. Then move over into a ding-friendly God, or not, and just {{s|PISORF}} everything into powder. Once you get a bit of practice with it, you'll be tacking the {{badge|Vicious}} onto the PQI for extra money whenever you see this combination.

-Any dwarf, once leveled up and once you convert enough stuff, will be a big blob of health. They're not in a rush to convert glyphs, as the bonus requires levels to become significant. The fighter can get the dwarf leveled up, using all the glpyhs the dwarf isn't in a hurry to convert. Then, once the you are a big blob of health, who got there by becoming a good glyph user first, the fighter abilities let you ding a lot to refill both pools and blob all over the place.

 Two gods make {{DwFi}} flow in a particularly fine way.
-{{g|Mystera Annur}} lets you build up as a spellcaster while you use your glyphs to explore, "popcorn bowl" and level up. {{boon|Refreshment}} lets you get mana refills for converting glyphs. You want to do this against the boss, which is also when you really need your health to finally become huge. Dump all your glyphs for a glyph barrage on the boss, then ding for a full refill of your suddenly huge health pool (and more glyph use).

-{{g|Dracul}} is the other god that plays rather fine in a more melee oriented fashion, as he is the deity all dwarves love to worship anyway. Fighters in particular appreciate the lifesteal, and the refil boons. Those scale with your level, and fighters are the kings of getting high level. Remember to use your glyphs, though - any Drac Dwarf is a scary healthmonster later on in a run, but it's your glyphs that get you there.

-Fighters are all about finding "popcorn", and getting into a position to beat tougher monsters by using weaker monsters. Since so much about them revolves around leveling up in order to refill health and mana instantly, they do well if they build up large pools of either health, mana or both to spend and restore. Since they don't have any inherent fighting ability most of what they do revolves around good use of glyphs.

 This is something that often confuses newbies - the average gamer would expect the Fighter to be more of a straightforward melee character. In another game, the DD Fighter would probably be some sort of Priest, as he utilizes  experience and a mix of martial and magical power to do his thing.
-Besides the lone Death Protection, the Fighter has no innate fighting ability. So some combination of preparations, glyphs, items, potions, and later, gods has to be used at the very beggining of a run, before he develops a large suppy of easily disposable low lever monsters (a "popcorn bowl") and really starts leveraging experience as a weapon.

 It is also possible, and often favorable, to use your health to fight regular monsters for experience and dings while simultaneously pelting the boss with glyph damage. This lets the "humble" fighter start the boss fight (or a tough fight) much earlier than one would think and still use both his bars and all his resources to the maximum.

-{{g|Tikki Tooki}} is an incredible choice for worship. The fighter will be able to rack up a ton of piety, as he will reach a high level quickly and leave a bunch of popcorn untouched. The massive piety gain allows him to invest heavily into into Reflexes and Tikki's Edge, which combine to massively increase the fighter's already formidable level-up spiking potential.

+Remember - fighters like to level-up mid fight against something huge. If your health isn't good enough to tank hits from the boss - pelt the boss with magic, and fight the other guys with health to level up. This takes practice, but it is worth the practice as most fighters get scary once you wrap your head around that concept.
-What the Fighter is looking for in a race is either a bit of help with the initial leveling, to get the ball rolling, or the complete oposite - something to cash in on with all the leveling. What the fighter himself "does" is the basic footwork that just about every DD character does in every run. He's just really good at the footwork, at the cost of not having inherent ways to capitalize on it. A guide to all the different fighters is, in a way, a guide how to play a generic, but highly XP efficient member of each race.
