Sword Knight

Speciality

The Sword Knight is an amped up swordsman. With experience comes expertise. This job has a better combo technique and gains more MP than any other class. His melee attacks are uber powerful, strong enough to destroy armor and leave an enemy defenseless. He can also fight multiple targets at once. 1 on 1, though, he's almost unbeatable.

Skill Tree

Overall usefulness

Great at combos, one of the best team players, not that great on bosses.

Pro:

  • Combos are well-suited for beginners
  • You also gain a passive named Vitality which lets you gain more MP
  • You have another passive named Strong Body which gives you an extra 10% HP outside of the 50% max you can get. Meaning you have a 10% extra HP bonus than any other character.
  • Being short, believe it or not, is very good, as some bosses can easily miss their attacks when hitting you.
  • Sword Knight is a great character for PVP for his extra combos
  • Armor Break is a very useful Active to make Elsword's combos more effective

Cons:

  • Barely any ranged skills
  • Has a hard time fighting ranged characters
  • Relies too much on combos
