Info | The Dark Knight is an offensive machine. They have the ability Souleater which buff up your attacks with Dark Damage at the cost of HP. |
Job Action | Souleater: Consumes HP to deal additional dark damage when attacking. This damage bonus is proportional to the amount of HP consumed. You can toggle this effect on and off with Ability. |
Level | Expert |
Usable Weapon |
Greatsword Sword Knuckles Lance Katana Axe |
Shield? | Cannot use Shields |
The Dark Knight's Souleater ability should not be treated lightly. Unlike most Job Actions that give you buffs with no considerable drawbacks, Souleater will slowly deplete your health in exchange for power. Souleater will only deplete HP when you attack, so pace yourself carefully and go with slower weapons like Axes or Greatswords.
It is highly recommended that you equip Commands like Blood Weapon or Drain to compensate for Souleater's consumption of your HP. Activate Blood Weapon to restore HP based on the damage you deal. Alternatively, you can activate Drain to steal HP from surrounding enemies.
The Dark Knight is available once you unlock its corresponding nodes from the end of its pre-requisite jobs.
