EDF 4.1 gives each class its own scheme, and the Fencer's is the one that differs: two weapons, one per hand, so Shift and Space ready them while the mouse buttons fire. The rows below are D3 Publisher's own table, which prints the keyboard and pad columns side by side; the Fencer block keeps its own group.
