The Sturdy Defender

This class path leans heavily towards bulkiness, improving every aspect the Warrior had on this trait, and adding on top of it the ability to draw attention from enemies and make them target the Knight instead of their allies.

The Knight is a tier 2 class that is unlocked by leveling the Warrior class to level 25. They usually wear heavy armor and are able to withstand a great deal of damage. Their main role is to draw the attention of enemies and protect their allies. One of their key abilities is the ability to stun a single target by bashing them with their shield. This can be a powerful tool in combat, as it allows the knight to disrupt the enemy's actions and create an opening for their allies to attack. They have in general the best defensive options to allow them to survive the longest of all Tier 2 classes. Overall, the knight is a formidable warrior who is able to take on the toughest enemies and emerge victorious.

Unlock

Pros and Cons

Comparisons are made considering classes from the same tier

Knight core skill Provoke gives a taunt to the tank branch of the game. To compensate the taunt the knight comes equipped with extra passive defences Improved Fortitude, Endurance and Second Wind. The damage of the class comes from Shield Bash, unfortunately it requires to equip a shield, which will add even more tankiness at the expenses of P.ATK or MPREGENERATION. Retaliation slighty buffs the scaling of attacks, but the damage output remains low. Like similar classes, it doesn't have bonus HIT on skills or an HIT passive or buff, which is a major negative. Considering that other classes can tank all the hunts and dungeons with proper gear and that Knight doesn't provide other utilities or damage, the final result is a weak class.

Stats

Knight damages scales from STR and accuracy from DEX.

Like every class Knight benefits also from WIS for M.DEF, MP REGEN and from VIT for P.DEF, HP.

Knight needs high HIT and S.ATK to apply its core skill with 95% consistency, both stats are increased by DEX.

Gear

Shield is a must for Shield Bash, from tier 4 tower shields are preferable for P.DEF scaling.

Stun Maces give much needed extra utility and the most damage.

S.Atk Daggers give extra chances on Provoke if needed.

Counterattack Swords are also usable for the counter and extra HIT.

Medium Armor EVA combines perfectly with Provoke, since Knight gets extra HP from Improved Fortitude.

Light Armor MP REGEN can help with 100% uptime on Provoke.

Heavy Armor is not really needed.

Ideas and suggestions

These are all suggestions, you can't have 1 script which is perfect for every hunt and every gear

  • Default script doesn't use Provoke. Targeting with this skill is not simple, try to prioritize only some enemies. The example below prioritizes Mages.
  • Add Shield Bash. Fallback to Bash if you are playing without shield.
  • Use Step Forward on not reachable foes at the end for script simplicity.
  • Change mp checks on attack to have at least 12 MP for casting Provoke.
  • Add foe conditions on damage skills based on hp, pdef, ... (This is not used in the script below)
  • Change consumables as needed.
