KnightTank / frontline (dungeons, MVP, Guild League, PvP)Knight Shield TankA one-handed sword and shield Knight that keeps itself alive with Brave Strike healing and the Burning Blood shield, while Provoke and Endure hold the boss. It's the safest early and mid-game Knight for free-to-play players because it needs very few rare cards to work.Well sourced· by Orangee, MGamer +2- KnightMelee DPS (farming, instances, MVP damage)Knight 2H AGI Bowling Bash DPSA two-handed sword Knight that caps attack speed so normal attacks keep auto-casting Bowling Bash. It deals the highest Knight damage before level 70 but is squishy and wants a priest.Well sourced· by PJVC, Chin Valdes
- KnightBalanced damage and survivability (beginners, Guild League, general PvE)Knight Hybrid (AGI/VIT)A middle route between tank and glass cannon: AGI for Bowling Bash speed plus VIT for survival, either on a 2H sword or on a sword and shield. It loses only a little damage compared to pure AGI/STR.Some sources· by PJVC
Lord KnightSustained melee DPS (PvE and PvP)Lord Knight 2H AGI SwordThe level 70 upgrade of the AGI Knight. Muramasa's Rending Wound keeps auto-casting Traumatic Blow (bleed), and the Surging Sword Aura special skill adds sword-aura hits on top of fast basic attacks. It still needs 193 ASPD and attack frequency 7, and it's an expensive build to gear.Well sourced· by PJVC- Lord KnightBurst DPS (bosses, PvP engage)Lord Knight Spear Clashing SpiralA spear Lord Knight that does almost all its damage with Clashing Spiral. Cardo raises the Clashing Spiral multiplier, Maelstrom Glaive adds a vortex that auto-casts Joint Beat, and Rapid Spiral adds a hit. It's the highest-damage Lord Knight build around.Well sourced· by PJVC
- Lord KnightTank / bruiser (dungeons, MVP, PvP frontline)Lord Knight Brave Strike TankA shield Lord Knight with maxed VIT that heals through Brave Strike, keeps Burning Blood up with Boiling Blood, and adds bleed from Traumatic Blow. Fully geared, it stays over 100k HP and still does 550-800k DPS on the dummy.Well sourced· by OWIISHII
CrusaderMain tank / physical counterCrusader Shield TankThe official Shield build: Smite and Shield Boomerang for damage and control, Reflect Shield and Defender for melee and ranged mitigation, and Faith and Sacrifice to protect the party. In SEA, Crusader went live on Aug 6, a day after the level 70 advancement, so most guides show it already as a Paladin; use this as the pre-70 skill base.Single source· by OWIISHII, Chin Valdes- CrusaderHoly AoE damage (leveling, Undead/Demon farming)Crusader Grand CrossThe official Grand Cross build: Grand Cross scales on both ATK and M.ATK, so STR and INT both add damage while VIT keeps you alive. Guides treat it as the farming and leveling path, which becomes Gloria Domini + Grand Cross at Paladin.Single source· by OWIISHII, MGamer
PaladinMain tank / PvP frontline (dungeons, MVP, Siege, War of Kings)Paladin Shield TankA full-VIT shield Paladin that spams Rapid Smiting for damage and stuns, reflects melee damage with Reflect Shield, and protects a teammate with Sacrifice. It sits at the top of the PvP meta, and works just as well as a dungeon and MVP frontline — even though its own damage output is low.Well sourced· by Chin Valdes, OWIISHII- PaladinHoly AoE bruiser (PvE farming, Undead/Demon MVPs)Paladin Holy (Gloria Domini / Grand Cross)A STR/INT Paladin that spams Gloria Domini, which with Miracle Reborn can auto-cast Grand Cross; both scale on ATK plus M.ATK. Evil Purge makes targets count as Undead so Holy damage hits harder. Strong in PvE and still tanky, but it loses to shield Paladins in 1v1 PvP.Well sourced· by Chin Valdes, OWIISHII +1
