Knight

Knight is the second of four basic tank classes in Eden Eternal.

The chivalrous Knight deftly executes swift sword strikes to overwhelm foes in single combat. Embodying great courage under pressure, Knights bravely dodge and block attacks. They view their immense fighting skills as a source of pride and accomplishment. Drawing on ancient magic, Knight can also cast a series of combat-boosting spells.

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.
