About

Gravity's introduction, from the official game guide. Game guide Introduced in [Character] Introducing the Rune Knight (2024-12-03).

Rune Knight, the 3rd job class advanced from Knight and Lord Knight, is a <Magic Swordman> concept character that can use both magic and swordplay, mainly employing powerful PvP skills. It strengthens itself with magic using Rune Stones and can charge into enemy lines, sweeping through with powerful attacks. Instead of the traditional Peco Peco, it rides a Dragon, and it possesses skills that can only be used while mounted on a Dragon.
