Knights are one of Regnum Online's defensive subclasses, focusing on melee combat. Warriors that choose to follow the knight subclass gain access to heavier armor, as well as 2 unique disciplines, Vanguard and Shields. Their armor grants them the highest base protection of all classes, which together with their powers can make them tougher to take down. Knights also specialize in using shields, and as a result they also have a chance to block attacks.
Along with keeping themselves alive, knights can also be powerful as a supportive class, making use of defensive auras, damage resistances, and other buffs for allies which can be helpful for holding ground in a battle. Their strong defense also makes them ideal for leading attacks into the heart of the enemy, keeping foes busy and their allies protected. To further devastate the enemy, they can run into the back of enemy lines and use single target crowd control and debuff skills. In short, knights are for those who prefer to take their time and find the right moments to strike.
