Zhadox Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 So I am planning on making my avatar a Dark Knight for my first playthrough which will be through Nohr and this was the build I thought I would go with, I would appreciate your opinions. Also I am more looking at it for pvp. Dark Knight: Asset: HP, boosts the best DK stats. Flaw: Speed, because DK's speed is really bad anyway. Skills: Defensive formation: To use the low speed as an advantage. Dragonic Curse: By lowering the enemies stats it makes the dark knight hit harder and get hit not as hard. Deadly Breath: Nice AoE damage. Life Taker: Doesn't have rely on Healer as much. Kunai Breaker: Makes it so the DK can avoid getting it's stats lowered. So what do you guys think? Is it viable?

Espinosa Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Four Fangs is better than Deadly Breath if you intend to counterattack things on enemy phase - DB only triggers on PP (but can and usually does affect more enemies). Kunai Breaker is ineffective because kunai users tend to be accurate anyway, have WTA against both swords and tomes and will continue to have hit rates against you and your low-avo DK. I don't know what you mean by "viable" but yeah, it can function as part of an army that doesn't lose the game, though I would recommend something more offensive that actually ORKOs enemies. For what it's worth, a DK can still double and ORKO enemies with the right pair-up, but by going with a speed flaw you make it harder for yourself to fulfil the main objective a unit with Dark Knight's mobility and weapon choices is meant to serve - ORKO foes.

Replace Deadly Breath with proc skill, like Luna.

The problem is Avatar can't learn Four Fangs in legit way.. Edited February 9, 2016 by KamuiSama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriotto Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Replace Deadly Breath with proc skill, like Luna. The problem is Avatar can't learn Four Fangs in legit way.. Luna will be bad, DK is magical unit right? Luna halfes Defense, not resistance. Edit: Wiki says def and res, mb then.

Zhadox Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I thought about a skill with activation, but because of the super low skill makes it not work so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your flaw/asses it's 27% for Luna to pop out, still better than Sorc which have 26 skill by deflaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengerfive Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) +Hp, -Spd? What? This is terrible. For DK something like +Spd or +Mag is best. -Luck is the best flaw imo. Edit: I'm sorry I thought this was for the main game, not Pvp. Idk about Pvp. Edited February 9, 2016 by OurBoyRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosGallade Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 +Hp, -Spd? What? This is terrible. For DK something like +Spd or +Mag is best. -Luck is the best flaw imo. Defensive Formation prevents both the user and opponent from double-attacking, making the Speed flaw a non-issue. I also agree that the asset/flaw should be +Magic, -Luck to inflict more damage with tomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalanche Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If this is anything like Awakening, Luna halves the defensive stat that your equipped weapon is attacking. I.E. using Tomes will halve resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhadox Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Perhaps instead of kunai breaker the beast shield would be good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoXDS Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 as a unit that can't double attack especially (since Defensive Formation and -Spd), Lifetaker probably isn't useful at all. at least, Renewal would probably net you more HP overall you also just really want a trigger skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol+Luna might be good in this scenario right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadox Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 What about vengeance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoXDS Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Vengeance is on the gimmicky side and doesn't work well with Life Taker/Renewal (or at least still outclassed/dmg) Aether probably has the best utility but otherwise if you don't want DLC then Dragon Fang has the most trigger dmg (more than 1 activation of Vengeance even if maxed). or Breaking Sky has slightly less power but double the proc so average dmg might be higher Edited February 10, 2016 by GoXDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
