Void Knight Tips & How to Use

Use Runic to Recover MP

Void Knight may not look like much different from a Swordfighter or Knight job, but with its Runic ability, you can equip stronger weapons like Greatswords and Axes without having to worry about equipping a shield. This is also a good way to fill your max MP for other commands and abilities. When you unlock the Runic Protection Command, attacks will deplete your MP instead of HP, so you can go all out with your attacks.

Use Runic to Full Counter

Alternatively you can you use the magic you absorbed and fire it back at the enemy. This functions in the same way as a soul shield would, except that you don't use the same magic you absorbed. This is useful especially when your break gauge is low.
