"Only knight's commanders are granted the title of white knight. In both defense and offense they are far superior to common knights."
Overview[]
This class is an upgraded version of the Knight but is weaker than a Knight in defence. Has a powerful ability to speed up allies while still being able to also attack in the same turn. Paralysis Blade is also useful, as it is a guaranteed 'Stun' effect (unless Stunproof), lasts for a few turns, and can affect many enemies in counterattack too. Taking damage does speed up TP accumulation, for which White Knights have various uses. It is however quite a slow class, which is further compounded when using 'Velocity Shift' on allies meaning that White Knights often fall behind in combat. They have an interesting selection of weapons, spells & skills dropping the Knight's 'Lightguard' and 'Instill Light' for more status and healing spells. The class is overall well-balanced.
