Dark Knight (Dimensions job)

The Dark Knight is a job in Final Fantasy Dimensions obtained during the finale of the "A Blessing in Disguise" chapter, and is exclusive to the Warriors of Darkness.
== Appearance ==
The party is clad in the armor of a dark knight.
== Overview ==
Dark Knights are statistically comparable to Warriors, although possessing heightened MP and Intelligence. They place greater emphasis on damage than most Jobs, with a high-risk high-reward style of gameplay, as they sacrifice their own HP to launch powerful single-target or multi-target attacks. Their passive skills include Backliner and Absorb HP; both contribute to a Dark Knight's sustainability, and are great options for other Jobs to learn as well. Somewhat at odds with their play-style is their secondary ability, which is Draw Attacks, though this works well when equipped on a Warrior courtesy of their innate Counterattack. Once mastered, Ebony Slash is amongst the most powerful attacks in the game, especially when empowered by a Magus. Uniquely, they are the only Job outside Summoner with Diabolos who can access Dark-elemental attacks. For this reason, levels in Dark Knight are highly desirable for their Fusion Abilities. Dark is an offensive spell that is slightly more powerful than tier-2 spells, while Dark Star is more powerful than Ultima.
