Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is a tank who harnesses the power of dark magic to both protect allies and weaken enemies with powerful curses. The class combines exceptional survivability with a wide arsenal of crowd control abilities, allowing it to pull, stun, paralyze, and debuff opponents while maintaining control of the battlefield. Thanks to its strong defensive skills and disruptive abilities, the Shillien Knight excels in both PvE and PvP as a reliable frontline defender.
