Like the Paladin class, Shadowknights are part of the Fighter archetype and they are great fighters who are dedicated all their lives to serve their gods. Shadowknights share the same fighting abilities as paladins in that they are a versatile class that is effective in soloing.

They can be a good tank in group, and a good damage dealer. Shadowknights and Paladins may have the lowest HP of all the fighter classes, but have defensive buffs improving their wisdom greatly. The Shadowknight class wears heavy armor (plate) and can use all kinds of weapons like 1h slashing, crushing, 2h slashing, crushing, some polearms and spears. Various types of shields such as buckler, round, kite and tower are available to them.
