A Knight

Short answer: A Knight is a 6-Star, Spirit-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Reality damage and works as a DPS unit. Like every Arcanist, A Knight hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field A Knight where the Spirit advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

A Knight uses the Spirit Afflatus. That means A Knight has the advantage against Intellect units and is at a disadvantage into Star units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

A Knight deals Reality damage and is built for DPS duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair A Knight with teammates that cover the roles A Knight does not.

Building A Knight

Invest in one carry at a time and gear A Knight with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 6-Star Arcanist, A Knight is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
