The Dark Knight (evolves to Blade Knight) is a tanky melee class with high physical damage, easy to play and great for new players.
Key skills
The Dark Knight gets attacks from weapons and skill orbs. Notable skills:
- Twisting Slash: learned while holding a one-handed sword, spins around you, the main AoE farming skill.
- Rageful Blow: a Blade Knight area skill, big AoE damage that clears packs fast.
- Death Stab: very high single-target damage, used to kill bosses and in PvP.
- Cyclone, Slash, Uppercut, Lunge: basic sword strikes used early on.
Buffs: Swell Life raises the whole party's max HP (very wanted in groups); Defense self-buffs your armor. Rageful Blow and Death Stab unlock on evolving to Blade Knight, learned from skill orbs.
Stat build for Dark Knight
- Strength: main damage, put the most here.
- Agility: enough for gear and attack speed.
- Vitality: add as you get better gear, especially for PvP.

Playstyle & leveling
The Dark Knight farms very well thanks to high HP and AoE (Twisting Slash / Rageful Blow): dive into a pack and clear it. Because it survives on its own, it is a great fit for offline leveling in dense spots.
- Early: stack Strength to kill fast, only add Agility to meet gear requirements.
- Mid: favor a one-handed sword + shield to farm safely; upgrade Excellent gear from Blood Castle.
- Late: once geared, add Vitality to move into PvP.

PvP & party role
The Dark Knight is the party tank: high HP, holds the front line and opens combos. In 1v1, Death Stab bursts hard, paired with Swell Life for extra bulk. Its weakness is short range, easily kited by mages/archers, so it needs move speed (wings, boots) and Vitality to close in.
- Party role: front line, HP buff (Swell Life), pulling and holding monsters.
- PvP: close in fast, land Death Stab; keep Vitality high so you do not get bursted down.
