Vindictus: Defying Fate is an action RPG developed by Nexon based on their 2010 MMORPG, Vindictus. Defying Fate allows you to choose from four characters at the start of the game: Lann, Fiona, Karok, and Delia. Each character has their own unique playstyle, weapons, and skills to explore.

When you complete character creation, the game informs you that the character can be switched later on. However, there is no way to change characters in the game’s hub village of Colhen, leaving players unsure about when the feature unlocks.

You can change characters in Vindictus: Defying Fate at Campsites after defeating the Shadowfang boss and completing the ‘Rising Hostilities’ quest. This means that it will take you around one hour of playing the main story until you can change your character and gain access to followers. Once you have followers unlocked, rest at a Campsite and open the Followers tab. Select the “Main” option with your character’s icon. Then, choose the character you want to play as.
