A Knight — Review & Analysis
A Knight is a Spirit-afflatus 6-star Reality DPS who hits both single targets and groups. His kit is built around an execute pattern: the Mercy passive ramps his DMG and Penetration for every 20% HP the enemy loses, so he grows stronger the longer a fight drags on. Both Justice and The Final Rite refund Moxie on kills, while his ultimate grants the whole team [Fervor], making him a carry with light team-buff utility.
- Flexible Reality output: bursty single-target (Justice 450% at tier 3) plus full-team AoE from The Final Rite (400%).
- Execute passive: DMG and Penetration stack for every 20% HP the enemy loses, excelling late in fights and against tanky bosses.
- Self-sufficient: kills refund his Moxie and grant the team [Fervor] for extra damage, on top of an 8% reduction to DMG taken.
- Deals only Reality DMG and is a Spirit unit — Spirit stands outside the Afflatus counter cycle, so no enemy type gives him a bonus-DMG edge to lean on.
- Payoff hinges on securing kills and chipping enemy HP: Moxie and Fervor come only from defeating targets, and the execute passive ramps slowly while enemies are near full HP, so his opening turns are weak.
Level The Final Rite first to maximize its 400% multiplier and the team-wide [Fervor] stacks, then Justice as your single-target finisher; Glory can come last. As a Reality carry, favor a DMG- or ATK-focused Psychube (crit works too), ideally one that rewards attacking low-HP enemies to synergize with his execute passive.
