Knight Pros and Cons

Pros

• High defense.
• Easy to mob enemies with “Throw Shield” skill that homes to an enemy and bounce to nearby enemies.

Cons

• Half of Berserker’s sword attacking range, attacking speed and hits dished.
• Knight skills from Level 10-22 deals 1 hit.
• DPS (Damage Per Second) is lower and worsen with lots of misses.
• For block and 100% critical to work, it highly depends on probability instead of relying on player’s skills.
• Knight shines at Level 30 and above. So, it’s a little boring at earlier levels.
• Shield Block only works with magical/physical projectile. Not able to reflect lethal attacks.
