Spd (8) | ★★★★★ | |

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws
See the IV Checker for All Units | Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs |
When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.
As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, Black Knight will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.
The best IVs for Black Knight are +Atk and -HP. Black Knight shines best in being an enemy phase counterattacker. A +Atk IV synergizes with his kit to effectively fill this niche. His HP stat is of less importance, so it is safe to take it as a bane.
If you prefer a tankier Black Knight that can frequently execute follow-up attacks, you can take a +Spd IV instead.
We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Black Knight to 10. At +10 Merges, Black Knight's Atk will reach such high levels that pushing it up higher is a waste, considering he has access to Black Luna, one of the most powerful special skills in the game. At this point, it would be better to opt with a +Spd IV instead to help him take less follow-up attacks and allow him to make some follow-up attacks on his own. Follow-up attacks also speeds-up special activation.

This is a player phase tank build for Black Knight that uses Steady Posture 3 to slow enemy Specials while also giving him buffs. Slick Fighter 3 nullifies any penalties and will also give him a guaranteed follow-up attack. Steady Breath as his Seal will accelerate his Special while also making his sturdier.
Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |

SP: 400 | |
Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: +3 Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count -1). At the start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4. :500 :200 |

Alondite's refine gives Black Knight Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 and also accelerates his Special trigger.
We recommend getting this refine as he will be able to activate Black Luna even faster when paired with other Special acceleration skills like Special Fighter 3.

Black Knight is a close ranged physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat. Additionally, his exclusive weapon lets him counterattack from any range, and he has a powerful exclusive special skill.
Black Knight's exclusive skill Alondite has the built in effect of Distant Counter, letting him counterattack ranged foes. As low mobility is one of the drawbacks of armored units, this skill allows him to take out foes at a distance despite his inherent mobility setback.
Black Knight has the exclusive special skill Black Luna. This skill has the same cooldown count as Luna, but it treats the foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 80% during combat, inflicting heavy damage. This will be very strong even against blue colored foes or those with a very high Def stat, making it highly useful in any situation.
Due to the effects of his refine, he can trigger his Special faster and more often.
His A slot skill Steady Stance 3 will give him Def +6 when the foe initiates combat. Unlike the related skills Close Def 3 and Distant Def 3, his Res stat will not increase, but having a guaranteed Def buff regardless of the weapon used is a huge plus. Black Knight already has an incredible Def stat, so Steady Stance helps to solidify him as a physical wall.
His B skill Wings of Mercy 3 will let him warp to any ally with less than 50% HP. Black Knight's low mobility is seriously aided by the power to warp over such a wide area.
He has access to a Special effect refine and you can read more about it in the Weapon Refinement section!!
With his low Res stat, Black Knight is weak to magic attacks. In particular, Blue Mages like Reinhardt can wipe him out with in one fatal swoop. Keep him out of the range of mages, and in particular keep an eye on enemy blue mages.
As an armored unit, Black Knight will take significant damage from units with weapons like Armorslayer or Heavy Spear. Be wary of your foes' weapons and attack accordingly.

I learned the sword from one of my fellow Four Riders, Gawain. He was a general without compare… I fought my master, and I won. However, by then he had already cast aside his true skill. This means I have not truly surpassed him. But defeating one whose strength rivaled his own could be another means of achieving that goal. I have forever longed for such a battle. Not everyone would understand such drive, but as one who also lives by battle, I thought that perhaps you… Well, that is all. |
