Gameplay commentary

Gear

Knights wear heavy armor. As for weaponry, most Knights use a one-handed bladed weapon and a shield, although many also dual wield for more damage output. To take advantage of racial traits, Humans should use Rapiers and Zumi should use Swords.

Unlike other classes in the game, Knights have the ability to make good use of elements in 1-on-1 combat. In a scenario where the target has massive DEF/resistance, using Provoke, followed by Maelstrom allows a Knight to dish out heavy 1-on-1 burst damage when equipped with a generous amount of elemental properties (e.g. Attacks deal Fire damage +13 points). Aside from Maelstrom's hits, Provoke's extra damage will add onto each elemental property, thus ignoring DEF/resistance.

This set-up is best suited for defensive oriented Knights to makeup for their lack of damage through CRIT.
