Death Knight 

  •  


A new class: a warrior wielding a one-handed sword and the power of hellfire.

The class's defining feature is the ability to switch between two combat auras. Depending on the active aura, the Death Knight can protect allies, control enemies, or deal increased damage.

Restraint focuses on defense, keeping enemies under control, and survivability. Fury enhances offensive capabilities, allowing certain attacks to ignore part of the enemy's defense.

All stats and effects are listed for the maximum level of each skill.

Combat Mechanics: Two Auras

The active aura determines both the character's stats and the additional effects of five skills: Hell Slash, Hellfire, Hellbringer, Fateful Assault, and Mocking Resilience.

P. Def. and M. Def. +20%.

Received Critical Rate −15%.

Attack skills used in this aura generate increased monster aggression.

Aura of Restraint helps maintain monster aggression, provoke enemies, restrict their movement, and reduce received damage.

Mocking Resilience additionally strengthens the defense of nearby party members.

Offensive Playstyle

Aura of Fury increases offensive stats, allows certain skills to ignore part of the enemies' P. Def., and enhances melee combat capabilities.

Death Knight combines defensive and offensive capabilities. Switching auras allows the class to adapt to different situations: holding enemies, protecting the party, or focusing on dealing damage.
