The Knight is one of the game's strongest and most powerful classes. It features two bonuses that make it an obvious choice for beginning warriors in Chapter One—higher HP and the ability to equip heavy armor and helmets. We can't overstress the importance of these bonuses. The benefits they bring provide a certain amount of longevity to the characters training in this class. The other benefit that the Knight class boasts is its lack of handicap in MA strength and MP growth. This and the class's ability to wear magician's robes make the different magic types a perfect secondary action ability choice.

The Knight's main strength is his/her ability to break both the equipment and power of enemy troops. If you don't consider this a worthy skill to possess, just wait until the enemy tries to destroy your weapons and armor! This skill set is great when fighting against other Knights or NPCs with powerful sword spells such as Gafgarion. After all, if their weapons are broken, so is their attack power.
Most characters, unless equipped with the Monk's support ability Martial Arts, are not very handy with their bare fists. A few tricks to be aware of: The range of Battle Skill abilities depends on the weapon the character is using, which means breaking can be a short- or long-distance sport! On the other hand, a character need only equip the Maintenance support skill to negate the effect of all Break skills and protect his/her valuable equipment.
Pros
- High HP and AT strengths makes the Knight a force to reckon with on any battlefield.
- The lack of MP/MA handicaps, coupled with the ability to wear robes, makes Magic a suitable secondary ability for this class.
- The Knight's Battle Skills ability works with both long- and short-range weapons and is great for disabling powerful enemies.
Cons
- You can disarm Break attacks using the Maintenance support skill.
- Stealing equipment can be more fun and rewarding than Breaking it!
