Overview

Overview

Dragon Knight a character that fighter alongside her partner, the dragon Astra. She pressures the opponent's guard by utilizing Astra's immobilizing attacks as well as a wide array of airborne-based attacks.

She is able to press an unwavering offense due to increased MP recovery speed when Awakened

Lore:

Originating from Plane: Dragonia, she was one of the greatest warriors of Dragon Tyrant Bakal: he who the dragons worshipped as both their father and the King of Dragons. Although she revels in battle and is merciless to her foes, she treats her partner, Astra, with the utmost kindness. She is highly hostile towards the Dark Elves who brought about the ruin of the kingdom she had once devoted herself to. Now, on the Day of the Waning Dragon which marks the end of a year, she lay dying on the battlefield after being stabbed by an enemy's blade. Suddenly, a halo of light encompasses her, which then drops her off in a completely different place.

Playstyle

Dragon Knight is classified as a Gimmicky type. She can summon her dragon companion Astra for powerful independent attacks and can alter her airborne trajectory with her unique airdash.
Pros	Cons
Has a Dragon: Astra, Dragon Knight's titular Dragon, can be commanded independently from herself for tandem pressure. Has an Airdash: j.MS pauses Dragon Knight's momentum and can be turned into an airdash with another j.MS input. This really opens up her pressure options and gives her ambiguous high/lows when most characters don't have them. Strong Reach: Dragon Knight has a surprising amount of long-reaching moves as her sword and shield change forms.	MP Hungry: Dragon Knight needs her Dragon to pressure opponents effectively, making MP management especially important to her.

Dragon Force

Increases amount of MP recovered.
