Rune Knight Classes

Rune Knight classes are the classes available to Rune Knights in Forsena or Runersia.
== About Class ==
Class represents the breakdown in abilities into which Brigandine characters are assigned. Each character has a class, and will retain the skills or magical abilities of that class after achieving expertise in it. After achieving expertise, class upgrade is available once the level of the Rune Knight reaches the next nearest 10 (i.e., Level 10, 20, 30).
Rune Knights can equip certain items to strengthen themselves or gain new abilities, with the available equipment depending on the character's class.
== Legend of Forsena ==
=== Overview ===
There are 8 basic class types for Rune Knights: 5 for male knights and 3 for female knights.
There are also 7 special classes for several specific in-game characters (12 in Brigandine: Grand Edition), and two of these special classes have upgrades.
=== Class Expertise ===
Every level gained in that class grants one star. A Rune knight can reach expertise in that class by leveling five times in that class. This is indicated by the "Expert!" status. Class upgrade is available once a Rune Knight achieves class expertise and his or her level is a multiple of 10.

A Rune Knight can reach expertise in that class by leveling five times in that class. This is indicated by the "Proficiency 5" badge. Class upgrade is available once a Rune Knight reaches class expertise and Level 10, 20, or 30 (where applicable).

== Trivia ==
* It's possible to dual class a Rune Knight so you can get the combined skills and magic of two classes. For example, if you dual class Bishop/Cardinal and Sorcerer/Wizard, you'll get 18 magic spells (8 from Cardinal and 10 from Wizard). The trick is to change the class every 5 levels, after the word "Expert!" appears above the knight icon. Every level you gain in a certain class will give 1 star, which turns into "Expert!" after 5 level-ups. Some Rune Knight Passive Skills are not retainable, though (e.g., Counter Damage 10% from Berserker disappears when upgraded to Avenger, while dual classing with Champion retains the Critical %).
