Greatsword, Polearm and Shield

The Withered Knight, introduced in the June 2026 open beta and playable since launch, is built around one debuff. Three Light Strikes build Judgment, the blade lights blue, the next hit applies Wither, and a Heavy Strike executes the mark for bonus damage.

Greatsword or Polearm

The Greatsword is the solo set: Parry (a stance that negates frontal attacks for up to five seconds, five hits, or one heavy blow, then branches into a sweep or a dash that both apply Wither), Radiant Retribution, and Breakthrough Charge. The Polearm and Shield set trades that damage for Sacred Bulwark, a barrier enemies cannot pass, and Intervene, a dash to an ally that shields everyone nearby.

Full breakdown in our Withered Knight guide.
