Knight Shield Tank
KnightTank / frontline para sa dungeons, MVP, Guild League, PvPNoong 2026-07/08 (SEA, levels 40-69; sa 70, ituloy sa Lord Knight tank build)

Isang one-handed sword at shield na Knight na pinapanatili ang sarili niyang buhay gamit ang healing ng Brave Strike at ang shield ng Burning Blood, habang hinahawakan ng Provoke at Endure ang boss. Ito ang pinaka-ligtas na early at mid-game Knight para sa free-to-play players dahil kaunti lang ang rare cards na kailangan nito para gumana.

Cavalry Training

Rotation
- Buksan gamit ang Charge Attack at Provoke, tapos ihiwalay ang boss mula sa party.
- Panatilihing naka-auto ang Burning Blood, Brave Strike, Endure at Provoke; nagpapa-heal ang Brave Strike habang nagbibigay ng damage, kaya gumagana pa rin ang rotation na ito kahit semi-AFK.
- I-refresh ang Burning Blood bago pa tumama ang malalaking party-wide o targeted boss hits.
- Gamitin manually ang Magnum Break laban sa Earth-element bosses para sa fire conversion; iwanan itong naka-off habang nagfa-farm dahil sa knockback.
- I-Provoke ulit agad kapag na-pull ng damage dealer ang boss.

Tips
- Itinuturing na ang self-healing tank Knight na ito ang pinakamalakas na Knight build sa PvP, mas malakas kaysa AGI Knight.
- Magagandang rune crystal combos: Aqua Crystal na may Instant Healing (nagpapa-heal kapag na-cast ang Endure), Geo Crystal na may Mighty Guard, at Pyro Crystal na may Body Amplification o Battlefield Veteran.
- May accessory na nagbibigay ng pure M.DEF at healing para sa full tank build, pero walang ATK — trade-off na dapat timbangin.
- Enchants: Unyielding set (STR, VIT, ATK) sa weapon at accessories; Adamant sa shield; Magic Immunity, Physical Immunity at Fortitude sa armor pieces.
- Hindi nagsa-stack ang duplicate special skill sa dalawang items; naka-greyed out ang mas mababa.
