During their golden age, the mysterious order of dark knights fought for the protection of the citizens of MU. But those times have long since passed. Due to many wars the order was torn apart. Now the dark knights have become mercenaries to promote their own gain. Some have wandered the land in order to hone their skill to perfection, while others continue to try and bring justice to a time of pain and suffering. But one thing is certain; the dark knights of MU are sights too see pitched in battle.

The Dark Knights are the embodiment of strength and power. In close combat, they can deliver deadly attacks while taking more damage that would kill any other class. Due to their excellent combat abilities and high number of hit points, Dark Knights can venture out alone without much problem. He can wear different types of armors and can use a wide variety of melee weapons from swords and axes to spears. The skills of the Dark Knight do not eat up as much mana as compared to the skills from other classes. This makes energy a low priority among Dark Knights.
The Dark Knight can equip swords, axes, spears, maces and shields.
These dedicated warriors train endlessly to perfect their sword techniques. They channel their high Agility and Physical Strength stats into direct and area attacks like Twisting Slash, Death Stab and Rageful Blow.
Defensive Skill
By positioning himself in a defensive posture, a dark knight can reduce the damage taken from enemy strikes by 50%. It proves very useful when besieged by too many enemies to effectively counter.
Falling Slash
The falling slash gives twice as much damage than any other regular attack of a Dark Knight because he uses his whole body to increase the strength of the blow.
Cyclone Slash
Many Dark Knights have been able to master this skill. It consists of swinging a sword in a wide arc thereby generating enough centrifugal power to cause more damage and increase attack speed.
Lunge
Dark Knights who use the Legendary Sword, Gladius and Katana with a lunge skill can execute quick stab attacks on their enemies. Moreover, it penetrates deeply through an opponent's armor into the vital parts of the opponent.
Uppercut
It cleaves into an enemy through an upward slashing motion. While it may look simple and fluid, it takes a lot of dedication to master it.
Slash
It is a dreadful skill that uses both blades of a sword to cut an enemy. It is a skill of high difficulty that only a Giant Sword, Chaos Dragon Axe and Crystal Sword can handle. Monsters who are attacked by this skill are damaged 2 times more than the other attacks.
Twisting Slash
Acquired from Orb of Twisting Slash. This skill is very useful because it has an area-of-effect damage and hits all enemies in a 2 range radius around the Dark Knight. Useful agains many opponents.
Death Stab
Acquired from Orb of Death Stab. This skill is very useful against single opponents. It does geater damage than the weapon skill but drains your stamina. In some game versions the death stab hits multiple targets in front of the dark knight.
Rageful Blow
Acquired from Orb of Rageful Blow. This skill is very useful against multiple opponents. It does geater damage than the twisting slash and has greater range but drains your stamina and has slower cast time. Effective agains many well-armored enemies around the Dark Knight.
Impale
Acquired from Orb of Impale. This skill does more damage than the weapon skill and can be cast only on mount and carrying a spear-type weapon. Impale Skill This skill is available when using a Dinorant. It does greater damage than the impale skill and can be cast with any type of weapon.
Destruction
Acquired from Orb of Destruction. The Dark Knight uses his weapons to strike a freezing blow to his opponent. The Explosion skill freezes and slows down the enemy making them an easy prey for you.
Greater Fortitude
Acquired from Orb of Greater Fortitude at level 180. This skill is a type of war cry that boosts your and your party's maximum health. The boost is based on your Vitality and is increased by your Energy points.
Combo is one of the best skills of the Dark Knight. To be able to make a Combo you need to finish the Marlon Quest. To perform a Combo cast 3 different skills in any order from your Weapon Skill, Death Stab, Rageful Blow and Twisting Slash (example: 1. Weapon skill; 2. Twisting slash; 3. Death Stab). The Combo does greater damage than any of the skills you have and hits twice making it a deadly finisher.
Although the Dark Knight uses strength to increase damage there is another way to make him even more powerful. A lot of players forget that Energy increases skill damage. Instead of spending all your points on Strength, try to spend some of them on Energy. It will increase your skill damage with 1% for every 10 points and also will improve your Greater Fortitude ability and will increase your mana points and stamina points. Energy is a very important stat for the Dark Knight and should not be left low.
Since the Dark Knight is a melee class character it is obvious that a ranged class character will have the first hit from distance. Usualy the Fairy Elf freezes the Dark Knight with her Ice Arrow skill and finishes him off before he can reach her. A good way to protect yourself while frozen is to have an equipped shield with the Defend Skill which greatly reduces the damage you take.
