Knight Overview

The Knight is an Ascendancy Class for the Duelist Class, a DEX / STR hybrid class that starts on the bottom of the Passive Tree, similar to the Mercenary.

At Exilecon, GGG provided some details about the Knight and possible Ascendancy points.

While the Duelist specializes in Swords and Stances to swap between different bonus effects, the Knight specializes in:

  • Buffing/Summoning Allies
  • Spend Glory for unique effects
  • Banners

Knight Tree

Knight Passives

Summon Squire

The Knight is able to bring a Squire in to combat. This Squire can be equipped with equipment and skills to coordinate in battle.

This can lead to interesting builds as you can use the Squire to apply certain effects or debuffs to empower your main Knight character or vice versa.

Honourbound

Grants Skill: Honourbound Blade

Gain 5 Valour every 2 seconds while a Rare or Unique Monster is in your Presence
Gain 5 Valour per 10 Glory consumed

This passive allows you to generate Valour passively and through Glory, which sends out waves of justice to damage enemies.

Bannerlord

The Bannerlord passive grants unique banner effects that can be used to empower your character and your Squire (if you choose to allocate it).

For example, Vaal Warbanner causes the area to become drenched in blood, adding additional damage to attacks in range.

Glorious Entrance

Glorious Entrance adds the Liberator's Chariot Skill, allowing The Knight to mount a ghostly steed-led Chariot that crash into enemies after building up enough Glory
