1. Introduction: The Strategic Value of Fighting Master

In Infinity Kingdom, certain skills stand the test of time. Fighting Master is one such skill, renowned for its ability to provide control immunity and damage reduction to Immortals. Despite being classified as an Elite skill, its effectiveness rivals even Legendary skills, making it a staple choice for both early-game and endgame strategies.

With recent updates tweaking its mechanics, Fighting Master has regained spotlight attention, especially in control-heavy PvP matches. This article dives deep into the mechanics, Immortal synergies, and meta implications of this indispensable skill.

2. Skill Mechanics: How Fighting Master Works

Fighting Master combines damage mitigation and control immunity, making it one of the most versatile skills in the Tower of Knowledge.

Core Effects:

• Damage Reduction: Reduces all incoming damage by 10%.
• Control Immunity: Protects Immortals from stuns, silences, and confusions.

3. Before and After: Fighting Master’s Recent Update

The recent update to Fighting Master introduced a significant change:

Previous Version:

15% damage reduction. Control immunity but no protection against Himiko’s Exile or similar effects.

Updated Version:

Damage reduction decreased to 10%. Now provides immunity against all control effects, including Himiko’s Exile.

Impact:

✅Strength: Counters control-heavy strategies effectively, particularly those reliant on Himiko and Loki.

❌Weaknesses: Slightly reduced survivability due to the 5% decrease in damage mitigation.

4. Best Immortals for Fighting Master

Fighting Master’s versatility allows it to fit into a variety of roles, from tanks to damage dealers.

Key Immortals:

✅Charles the Great (Earth Tank): Leverages damage reduction and control immunity to sustain the frontline. Ensures frequent ultimate skill cycling.

✅Himiko: Counteracts control effects to maintain her battlefield dominance and her own control abilities. With the update, Himiko herself can benefit from Fighting Master, making her impossible to control.

✅Seondeok: (Fire Burst Dealer): Immune to silences, ensuring rapid energy regeneration and burst damage.

✅Hippolyta: An Immortal many of us received early in the game, yet her potential often goes untapped. With her high energy regeneration attribute and the Fighting Master skill, she can consistently cast her ultimate ability, reducing the enemy's attack speed and energy regeneration. A highly effective combination.

✅✅ Any of your main damage dealers (or main carry), as well as Support or Tank Immortals, would greatly benefit from control immunity.

Do Not Use On:

❌Fu Fei (Chaos Healer): While it might seem beneficial to equip Fighting Master on Fu Fei to ensure consistent healing, I’m not a huge fan of this choice. Fu Fei’s exceptionally high energy regeneration, especially when paired with her Exclusive Artifact, makes it highly unlikely for her to be controlled between two ultimate skills. The window of effectiveness for Fighting Master in this scenario is very short, which makes it less impactful. Instead, I’d recommend using this skill in another march where Fu Fei’s protection isn’t available, maximizing its value in situations where control immunity is critical for success.

❌Alexander the Great: Equipped with his artifact, his ultimate skill turns into passive and he therefore becomes immune to any control effects.

5. Synergies and Skill Combinations

Fighting Master works best when paired with complementary skills that enhance survivability or amplify its effects.

Defensive Builds:

• Assist: Transfers damage from key Immortals, ensuring they remain protected. Fighting Master alongside Assist allows to avoid being stunned that could prevent Assist from triggering.
• Physical Shield: Adds a shield, reducing damage intake further.
• Shelter: Recovers HP when your receive damage from attacks.

Offensive Builds:

• Battle Stance: Amplifies damage output in late-game scenarios.
• Adrenaline Rush: Speeds up ultimate skill cycling, particularly for tanks and supports.
• Demonic Contract: Gradually amplifies damage until 150% increase after 45 seconds.
• Corrosive Power: Gradually increase damage and energy regeneration after each ultimate skill.

Specialized Strategies:

In Burst damage team such as Seondok Fire, equipping Fighting Master allows to avoid getting stun and silence by Earth Dragon, No Escape for instance and alongside Corrosive Power, it allows your Seondok to have high energy regeneration and burst damage without being controled to dominate.

6. Impact on the PvP Meta

The recent update to Fighting Master has reshaped PvP strategies by providing a reliable counter to control-heavy teams.

Key Changes in the Meta:

• Rise of Anti-Control Teams: Fighting Master now offers immunity against Loki and Himiko’s control effects, leveling the playing field.
• Balanced Himiko Teams: Himiko mains must now focus on raw damage output rather than relying solely on her Exile ability.
• Increased Tank Viability: Tanks like Charles and Yi Sun-Shin can now dominate frontline battles without fear of stuns or silences.

7. Mael’s Opinion: Adapting to the Changes

As someone who adores Himiko, the update to Fighting Master brings mixed emotions. On one hand, it’s exciting to see a skill gain renewed relevance. On the other, it forces Himiko mains to rethink their strategies.

Suggestions for Himiko Mains:

• Focus on maximizing damage output by pairing her with skills like Demonic Contract and Battle Stance.
• Equip Fighting Master on Himiko herself to create an uncontrolable and unstoppable force on the battlefield.

For me, Fighting Master remains a must-have skill that evolves with the meta, offering endless strategic possibilities for players willing to experiment.

8. Conclusion: Fighting Master’s Place in Infinity Kingdom

Fighting Master has cemented its reputation as one of the most versatile and essential skills in Infinity Kingdom. With its unique combination of damage reduction and immunity to control effects, it stands unmatched—even among some Legendary skills. The recent update has only amplified its impact, making it a must-have for countering control-heavy strategies while continuing to serve as a cornerstone for defensive builds.

What truly sets Fighting Master apart is its adaptability. From early-game battles to high-stakes endgame PvP, this skill proves its worth time and again. Its unparalleled effect ensures your key Immortals can perform their roles without disruption, whether it’s unleashing devastating ultimates or maintaining battlefield control.

Why Fighting Master Stands Out:

✅Unique Effect: No other skill offers this level of control immunity and durability, not even Legendary alternatives.

✅Universal Appeal: Works seamlessly across various team compositions and elemental setups.

✅Endgame Viability: Investing in this skill early guarantees value all the way to the endgame.

A Skill Comparable to Legends

In fact, the only skill remotely comparable in utility is Fu Fei’s unique Chaos ability. That’s the level of power Fighting Master brings to your roster—making it a standout among purple skills and a reliable choice for any player aiming to dominate PvP.

Fighting Master is without a doubt one of the best purple skills in the game, delivering a unique effect unmatched even by Legendary counterparts. You can invest in it with confidence, knowing it will remain a vital part of your team all the way through to the endgame. For players seeking a skill that blends utility, reliability, and power, Fighting Master is simply indispensable as part of your teams.
