NOW you should practice first, play at least 5 matches... and figure out how things work... :) ... of course you can win with any type, because the main thing is the skill or so to speak the experience of the player himself:))
it's just that in the initial combat skills, fighters surpass mages... that' same for sure..:)))

I've already played much more than that... especially since we aren't talking about who is better, a mage or a fighter, particularly at the start; that's obvious anyway... But if you don't believe that by level 18 you can't actually level up both combat and primary magic, well... I won't argue with you here... of course, having all 4 skills of the same order isn't taken into account, but you can definitely take 3 leveled-up ones, and military affairs can be worthily developed, certainly defense and resistance, and beyond that it depends on your luck with altars and universities; by the way, it's often easier for a magic build)
