Knight Tips & How to Use

Block Attacks to Inflict Damage

Blessing of Light
When playing as the Knight, you can enhance your blocks with Blessing of Light. In combat, you can Activate Ability and when you successfully guard an attack, it will unleash a shockwave that damages enemies. This ability can be helpful in fights as you not only block damage but you can inflict it as well.

Aggressive Playstyles Encouraged

Aggro playstyle
The Knight has multiple combos that greatly benefit aggressive playstyles. The Blessing of Light Mastery lowers the recovery speed of enemy break gauges while another passive ability restores HP gradually when you successfully parry. It's good to keep in mind that mastering combat fundamentals can be beneficial even in later levels.
