How to Use Gatekeeper

Tips on Using Gatekeeper

Pros	Having access to almost all of the Innate Abilities, the Gatekeeper becomes one of the strongest characters in the game.
Cons	He shines the most only once you've mastered multiple classes, as his base abilities aren't worth writing home about. Mastering multiple classes takes a lot of time, on top of the playthroughs you need to clear just to unlock him alone.

Combos and Unique Abilities

Ability Name	Type	Description
Camaraderie	Action	At 450 hits and above: a strong attack or final regular attack summons fellow gatekeepers to perform a follow-up attack.
Nothing to Report	Support	Nullifies a percentage of status effects.
Soldier's Honor	Tactical	When ordered to defend: reduces damage received from enemies by 30%.

Holy Knight Class Action

	Charge forward and juggle enemies as you push through and Luminance will attach on them.

Hold X to consume the Class Gauge and charge forward while radiating Luminance, which will attach to nearby enemies. The Class Gauge will fill over time and when dashing. Land an attack on an enemy with Luminance attached to them to deal additional damage and restore HP.

Holy Knight Combo List

	Swing the lance and slam it on the ground to throw enemies into the air.
	Two regular lance attacks with a lance thrust with a light magic effect that volleys them mid-air.
	A series of lance attacks and a summoned light beam that lifts enemies into the air.
	Attack with a spinning lance that creates a light tornado, blasting enemies in front of the unit after some consecutive regular attacks.
	Slash at enemies with your lance with the help of light magic, and finish with a charged light attack on the ground that pushes enemies back.

Spam	Shoot a magic arrow that pushes enemies aside after performing multiple regular attacks.

Dismounted Holy Knight Combo List

	Unleash a flurry of stabs that knocks affected enemies back.
	Swipe at enemies then quickly rush forward to stab and launch them up in the air.
	Jump and slam the ground after swiping at enemies thrice.
	After two swipes, briefly stab at enemies before jumping and releasing a powerful ground slam that clears the area.
	Spin your weapon around to gather your enemies before knocking them away with a piercing attack.
	Perform a double spin attack before a slam attack that knocks enemies away.
	Slam your weapon to the ground, then spin your weapon around before knocking your enemies away.
