Tips
  • Many Knight skills focus on drawing enemy attention and defense rather than direct damage.
  • Use Skill Inheritance to transfer damage-dealing skills to the Knight Archetype.
  • The Knight can function as a tank, absorbing attacks while other party members deal damage.
  • Protect Guard and Magic Guard are vital for survival in early dungeons, especially when enemies prepare strong attacks.
  • Focus on using defensive Synthesis Skills like Protect Guard and Magic Guard at opportune moments to minimize incoming damage.
