Knight Errant

Standard Evolutions:
Knight Errant I, II, III"'Once a stout defender of the throne, the Knight Errant now roams the realm looking for some modest loot and a decent fight.'"

Elite Evolution:
Sir Knight"'You could say that Sir Knight is a self absorbed oaf. Underestimate him and it could be the last thing you say.'"

Strategy:
Use Backhand in early rounds against enemies with low cost abilities. Then use to provoke high-damage enemies away from low-health allies. Evolve Backhand and gain the chance to deal double damage! Super Slice is a powerful attack that also provides utility by Injuring targets. Try to use it whenever you need to disrupt healing on a target. While it deals plenty of damage, use Super Slice strategically, as it lacks the efficiency of some characters’ lower cost attacks. The Guardian trait is a powerful support ability that helps keep lower health allies upright longer. Area damage is the biggest concern with Guardian characters, as they will absorb the majority of the total damage from enemy AoE abilities. While he's great at defending allies, the combination of Guardian and Provoke can result in Knight Errant taking a lot of damage quickly, so always keep an eye on his health.

Items:
Weaken items are a good choice because Knight Errant will be using his Backhand a lot early, so incoming damage will be reduced. The low cost and utility of Backhand also lends itself to Amp items, which provide bonus AP. Though he has a high defense to offense ratio, the combination of Provoke and Guardian can sap his health quickly, so beef up his tankiness with a Defense Boost item. As with any Guardian character, Enrage items are always good, as he’ll gain an offense boost each time he absorbs damage directed at allies.

Team:
His Provoke ability can cause some conflicts with his Guardian ability, as he will can take a lot of damage quickly, so teaming him up with a healer is good practice. Blacksmith is usually the best choice with his strong Repair ability and Cleanse chance to remove any pesky status effects. You’ll also need a strong attacker to provide the damage you’ll need to win. With Knight Errant providing defense, you can do well with a low health-high damage ally like Stone Warlock or Bandit Girl.
