Brawler

OVERVIEW

 

Brawler is the foundational melee combat profession in Star Wars Galaxies, focused on close-quarters fighting across four weapon types—unarmed, one-handed, two-handed, and polearms. It serves as the gateway to advanced melee professions such as Teras Kasi Artist, Fencer, Swordsman, and Pikeman. Brawlers excel in close-range combat, utilizing powerful strikes, crowd control abilities, and defensive stances like Center of Being to endure prolonged battles. Early abilities such as Knockdown Recovery, Taunt, and Lunge introduce the fundamentals of melee control and positioning, while skill progression enhances accuracy, attack speed, and resilience.

Though the playstyle exposes players to higher risks in ranged or group-heavy encounters, Brawlers compensate with strong defense and adaptability. This profession rewards those who embrace direct, tactical combat and are willing to experiment with weapon types and ability combinations. Mastering Brawler lays the groundwork for future melee mastery and serves as an ideal starting point for combat-focused characters seeking depth and challenge.
