Knight Best Abilities

Recommended Abilities

Ability
(Learning Level)		 Reason for Recommendation
Ironclad
(Lv 4)		 An ability that significantly increases defense until the end of the turn. When combined with damage reduction effects while not using Default and Super Charge, it creates a powerful combo.
Full Cover
(Lv 10)		 This ability activates when protecting an ally from single-target physical attacks, even if they are not in critical condition. It is limited to one ally, but the advantage is that you can choose which ally to protect.
Super Charge
(Lv 14)		 An attack ability that deals more damage the higher the user's physical defense. After using Iron Wall, the increased defense can be converted into attack power.
Vengeance
(Lv 8)		 An ability that deals five times the normal attack damage in a tense situation where three allies are incapacitated. It is effective when you want to turn the tables.

Ironclad + Super Charge: Offensive and Defensive

By using Ironclad and Super Charge during a Brave, you can strengthen your defenses while also dealing high damage, creating a powerful offensive and defensive strategy.

How to Play the Knight

Party's Guardian with Strong Defense

The Knight has the highest stamina and shield proficiency among all jobs, making them exceptionally adept at enduring physical attacks. By utilizing armor and shields and using abilities to protect allies, it can significantly reduce overall party damage. Additionally, it high strength allows them to serve as a well-balanced physical attacker.

Using Abilities to Protect Allies

The Knight's signature abilities are Ironclad, which greatly increases physical defense, and Full Cover, which allows them to take damage in place of an ally in critical condition. Ironclad is only effective on the turn it is used, making it highly useful when timed against powerful enemy attacks.

Two-Handed Increases Damage

If you want to develop the Knight as an offensive role, equipping swords or axes with the Two-Handed ability is recommended, as it significantly boosts their attack power in normal combat.

However, because Knights are weak against enemies with area-of-effect and magic attacks, having support from other jobs to enhance magic defense is highly advised.
