Orc Thug

> "Orc thugs have 3 rules: keep your mouth shut, your axe sharp, and always lead with your head."
>
>

###  Elite Evolution:

**Bonk**

> "As a trusted soldier of Chieftain Realmcush, Bonk pummels first, and breaks bones later. Asking questions isn't really his thing."
>
>

### Strategy:

Orc Thug is a powerful debuffer, so use his Pummel abilty often to Weaken high-octane enemies. His Bonebreaker will severely Injure a target, so look for opportunities to prevent your opponent from healing a favored ally. The Unstoppable trait is particularly effective against teams that like to Stun, and once evolved to Unstoppable II, it will also prevent the dreaded Doom effect.

### Items:

With his two debuff abilities, avoid adding Weaken or Injure items, and avoid Unstoppable items which won’t provide anything more than his trait already provides. However, a Poison item can provide some extra oomph. With his high health, try using a Protect item to really menace your opponents. Add an Offense Boost item to make up for his low attack stat. You’ll deal extra damage on top of his usual debuffs.

### Team:

Orc Thugs don’t have a lot of damage output, so you’ll need some allies that can really wear down your opponent’s team. Hellkite or Executioner can provide powerful attacks, plus both have an Expose ability that will help your Thug deal more damage. Try a Dark or Rabid Wolf for their Howl buffs, or Robo-Knight for a big damage dealer and some Bonebreaker-Crippling Blow synergy!
Witch Doctor

> "Trained to harness the forces of nature, witch doctors can alter reality and change the course of battle with their ancient, transformative spells."
>
>

###  Elite Evolution:

**Lora'Sul**

> "Driven by the sacrifices of Orc-kind, Lora'Sul channels her anger into her magic before unleashing the undying power of her ancestors."
>
>

### Strategy:

The Witch Doctor relies a lot on chance, whether it is landing her critical heal or turning an enemy into a Bullfrog. Don't let the chance deter you. Both her active abilities can be incredibly powerful, so use them often. When the transform occurs, Polymorph-Execute is the most powerful combo in the game. However, the benefit can go both ways. On transforms health numbers are converted by percent. For example, consider a fighter who ends up at 500/1000 (50%) health after Polymorph damage. When transformed, that would translate to 50/100 (50%) on a Bullfrog. If the Bullfrog is healed for 40 health to 90/100 (90%), when the Bullfrog returns to its original form, it will have 900/1000 (90%) health. That’s 400 healing from a 40 point heal! (Note: actual numbers may vary.)

### Items:

You can add an Invigorate item to augment Witch Doctor's existing Invigorate trait. However, your best bet is to go with AP-control items to maximize her chance-based abilities. Go with an Amp item to take advantage of her 1 AP Remedy heal, and a Burst item for the chance to use her Polymorph ability for free. Try a First Strike item for an early frog transform chance! Time Warp items also have terrific synergy with Remedy, allowing double the chance of landing her critical heal.

### Team:

The best allies for your Witch Doctor are those that can take advantage of her Polymorph ability. When an enemy has been transformed with Polymorph, Execute abilities and powerful attacks like Devour will KO a full health Bullfrog. So your go-to allies will be Executioner, Dwarf, SOLO, Infernus, and Fenris.
Bolt Bot

> "After the Order replaced their arms with heavy artillery, Banditron helped them escape the Realm. They're still straight shooters, if a bit lopsided."
>
>

###  Elite Evolution:

**Tilt**

> "Doing his best work from the shadows, Tilt found a natural ally in Solo, a giant bot who casts a huge shadow."
>
>

### Strategy:

Bolt Bot’s Poison Bolt is great for use early in battles, as it helps wear down your enemies over time. The Slow effect on Cripple Bolt is underrated and powerful, forcing your opponent to waste precious AP as the cost of their abilities increase. Use Cripple Bolt to Slow multiple enemies, or focus on a single target as you deal high damage while reducing their effectiveness in battle. Evolving to Tilt gives his Conceal trait the Stealth ability, making him even tougher to damage.

### Items:

Bolt Bot already has a chance to avoid any area damage. So add an Evade item so enemies will struggle to target him directly! Or go with a Reanimate item to bring him back when enemies do take him out. Add a Poison item to increase Poison damage on his Poison Bolt and add Poison damage to his Cripple Bolt. With the Slow effect on Cripple Bolt, consider a Burst item for the free ability chance while increasing your opponents AP costs. Go with a Weaken item to help protect allies and add consistent debuffing to one of your most powerful fighters.

### Team:

For your “Slow-Poison” team, go with Robo-Knight and Corrodus to punish foes with crippling Slows! Or go with a “Poison-Slow” team and swap out Robo-Knight for Goblin Medic or Rabid Wolf. Try teaming with Evaders likes Swordsman & Shield Keeper for a difficult-to-pin-down team. With his low health stat, you should also consider some allies to help keep Bolt Bot going, like Blacksmith or fellow-poisoner Goblin Medic.
Robo-Knight

> "Abandoned by their makers during the dragon's scourge, the Robo-Knights prized the freedom to fight for their own kind."
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Sir Steel**

> "This well-tuned warrior charges into battle, twin swords blazing a trail toward infinite survival."
>
>

### Strategy:

After evolving Robo-Knight, Crippling Blow will Slow injured targets. Crippling Blow and Super Slice have great synergy: once you have 6 or more AP, use Super Slice to Injure your target, then follow it with Crippling Blow. Always try to use Super Slice if the target you are focusing on can be healed or can heal itself. It's ideal to set up your KOs so the Bloodlust buff can be used same turn it is gained, otherwise your opponent might Dispel, Weaken, or Stun your Robo-Knight to disrupt its use.

### Items:

Robo-Knight has balanced stats, so add an Offense Boost item to really crank up the damage on his attacks. With 2 offensive abilities, he can be an early target, so equip items with Life Drain or Evade. Keeping him upright just 1 extra turn could be what leads to a victory. Since you’ll be using his attacks often, try making him a debuffer by using Injure or Weaken items.

### Team:

For synergy with his Crippling Blow, Bandit Girl (with her Bandit Blitz AoE injury) makes a great ally. Or try Swordsman with his 1 AP Slash that injures targets. An AP-generating ally like Demon Wing or Lancer is also a good choice, as they can help set up the Super Slice-Crippling Blow combo early in battle. Equip allies with Injury items for added synergy opportunities.
Stone Warlock

> "Set free by King Dragon, these ancient wraiths were resurrected in castle stone, making their impossible force incarnate. "
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Augur**

> "Cut from the stone of the Forgotten Temple, Augur channels the dark powers of the Otherworld to devastate his foes."
>
>

### Strategy:

The damage reflection on the Stone Spikes shield will keep most enemies from attacking, so use it often on allies whom your opponents is focusing. When Stone Spikes evolves to gain the chance to Slow attackers, the shield becomes an even greater deterrent. At base evolution, Stone Warlock's Tempest already has the highest guaranteed single target damage in the game. Gaining a Dispel chance on Tempest II adds great tactical functionality on top of the massive damage. The Sacrifice trait is easily forgotten by enemies. It gains most strategic use when multiple allies have takes damage, so make sure to apply Stone Spikes to different allies for maximum synergy. If both Stone Warlock and another ally are in immediate danger of being KO'd, baiting your opponent into knocking out the Warlock first-- thus healing up the other low-health ally-- can make all the difference.

### Items:

Due to the Warlock’s low health (lowest ratio in the game) you will want to use his Stone Spikes shield often. Getting the shield for free with a Burst item can greatly increase your team’s output. Apply a Defense Boost item to give the Warlock more staying power. Life Drain items can also have a positive effect, due his high damage Tempest, however no health can be gained from Stone Spikes damage. Evade items can also be good to keep your Warlock in battle longer.

### Team:

As with any low health character, you will need to have a plan to keep him upright as long as possible, so that means allies with Guardian (Dwarf, Knight Errant, Goblin Guard) and/or allies with healing abilities (Blacksmith, Priestess, Sorcerer). Alternatively, try a team built for high early damage like Warlock-Demon Wing-Hellkite, where you can build a lot of AP early and then set up high damage with Hellkite’s Melt Armor before blasting foes with Tempest. This team is vulnerable, but if you can use Stone Spikes to defray enough damage on your allies to gain a man-advantage, you can really have some fun with this powerful team.
Injury

### Notes:

Though Injuries of the same type no longer stack, there are some items or battle boosts that apply a longer duration of Injury. For example; Robo-Knight and Bandit Girl cannot combine Injury skills to either reduce healing by 100% or extend the length of the Injury. However, there are some items, boss abilities, and battle boosts that can apply Injury up to 100% or for more than two rounds.
Micky Dolenz

**George Michael Dolenz Jr.** is an actor and musician. He was the drummer and one of two primary vocalists for the pop-rock band the Monkees.

## Biography

In 1973, Micky Dolenz attended a party in Malibu, California held by Lou Meshejian of Newville Records. Richie Finestra recognizes Micky sitting on a couch talking to another partygoer and asked Lou if that was really him to which he responds by asking if he had seen the film *Head* and that he's "good people".
Goblin Guard

> "Armored in the finest robot parts they could scavenge, these Goblin smiths are the domed defenders of Goblin Gulch."
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Spike**

> "Spike shields his friends, blasts his enemies, and even when he’s beat down and battered, he keeps on bouncing."
>
>

### Strategy:

Evolve to Guard Shield II for the chance to Cleanse an ally when placing the shield on them. Shield allies early and often for the best synergy with Goblin Guard's Shocker attack. Early in battles try shielding allies that your opponent is not trying to attack-- this will provide the best chance to have multiple shields in the battlefield at one time. The cost of Shocker is reduced by 1 AP for each ally with a shield, potentially allowing huge damage for a low cost. If you plan to use Shocker, make sure to always deploy a shield on an unshielded ally first for maximum efficiency. Guardian is a powerful support ability that helps keep lower health allies upright longer. Guardian has great synergy with Guard Shield; when shielded, his shield will absorb any Guardian damage. Area damage is the biggest concern with Guardian characters, as they will absorb the majority of the total damage from enemy AoE abilities.

### Items:

Use an Enrage item for its synergy with his Guardian trait, as it will provide an offense buff each time he absorbs ally damage. His attack stat is very low, so equip an Offense Boost item for a more powerful Shocker and shields with more capacity. Use an Invigorate item to passively regenerate health lost due to Guardian. Equip an Amp item for the chance to gain AP each time a shield is deployed.

### Team:

An allied Goblin Medic will keep him topped up on health, while Goblin Guard can Cleanse off the Medic’s Poison. Goblin Guard can do a great job protecting low health but powerful characters like Demon Wing, Bomb Goblin or Dark Archer.
Living (song)

"**Living**" is the fifth track from VÉRITÉ's third extended play, *Living*.

## Lyrics

I'm not too good at living

I always dirty myself up after a vow to be clean

And I'm all too good at sinking

When my arms get tired

When my arms get tired

Turning the lights off when nobody's home

I'm giving you piece of mind to make you feel sure

I'm no good at making vows

I'm not too good at living

I always dirty myself up after a vow to be clean

And I'm all too good at sinking

When my arms get tired

When my arms get tired

Keeping good company

I'm always alone, but I let you inside of me

To remind me how I'm better off

I'm no good at making space

I'm not too good at living

I always dirty myself up after a vow to be clean

And I'm all too good at sinking

When my arms get tired

When my arms get tired

When my arms get tired

I'm not too good at living

I always dirty myself up after a vow to be clean

I'm all too good at sinking

When my arms get tired

When my arms get tired

Lorcan

> "Abandoning the corrupt realm, Lorcan chose a life alone in the wilderness. But when beset by wolves, he survived... by becoming one of them."
>
>

### Strategy:

Lorcan’s Bloodlust trait can provide one of the most powerful offense buffs in the game, so make sure to always use Lorcan to secure KOs. Once you have the Bloodlust status effect, use it wisely. Ideally you will have whittled down the health of your enemies enough so you can immediately follow one KO with a second, this time a powerful Bloodlust KO.

After Lorcan has taken a few hits, find a way to use his Gnash ability and steal some health back.

Eviscerate is powerful & worthwhile attack in most situations, even without the critical damage, but can be devastating when the critical chance hits. If the base damage + critical damage of Eviscerate can KO an enemy unleash it before using other abilities for maximum efficiency.

### Items:

Add a Life Steal item to heal from Eviscerates and to amplify the healing effects of Gnash. Try debuff items like Poison, Injure, or Weaken to make his attacks even more devastating. Momentum items will provide a healing bonus to accompany his powerful Bloodlust KO bonus. This powerful damage dealer will often be an early target for your opponent, so equip a Reanimate item for an unexpected comeback.

### Team:

Team up with Lorcan’s little wolf buddies, Snarltooth or Sabreclaw, for their complimentary low-cost abilities and awesome Howl buffs. Other fast, high damage characters, like Bandit Girl, Demon Wing, or Hellkite, make good allies with their early output. Your opponent will target them instead, allowing Lorcan to finish the enemies and collect his Bloodlust effect. Then Team up with Blacksmith or Goblin Guard to cleanse off any pesky Injury effects that might prevent Lorcan’s Gnash heals.
Medicine (song)

"**medicine**" is the eigth track from VÉRITÉ's second studio album, *new skin*.

## Lyrics

No one loves me

I don't love me

I'm not who I think I am

I'm not who I thought I was

So carry me home, I can't see straight when I'm walking

My glass is half-full but the liquid is toxic

Benadryl in the morning‚ I sleep through the day

I've been meaning to strike up a conversation

My head has been making me weigh

You've been lying and

I've been lying and

We've been lying 'cause

Liars lie to

Each other's soul

We keep it up and swallow it down while it's cold

I like the way it is

It's better than lying and saying we won't

You're medicine‚ slow my vision

You're repetitive‚ flood my system

'Til I'm sick of it, wash you down

Like a habit, I can't quit

You're medicine‚ slow my vision

You're repetitive, flood my system

'Til I'm sick of it, I'll take you every morning

Dramamine in the afternoon

I never learn just how to move

Been waiting for you to come take your turn

Flip me upside down though I never learn

So strike me down‚ my inhibition

Shoot me down, reckless precision

You've been lying and

I've been lying and

We've been lying 'cause

Liars lie

You're medicine, slow my vision

You're repetitive, flood my system

'Til I'm sick of it, wash you down

Like a habit, I can't quit

You're medicine, slow my vision

You're repetitive, flood my system

'Til I'm sick of it, I'll take you every morning

I'll take you every morning, morning, morning

I'll take you every morning, morning, morning

I'll take you every morning, oh-ohh

I'll take you every morning, ohh

You're medicine, slow my vision

You're repetitive, flood my system

'Til I'm sick of it and wash you down

Like a habit, I can't quit

I'll take you every morning, morning, morning (Yeah, yeah)

I'll take you every morning, morning, morning (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'll take you every morning, morning, morning

I'll take you every morning, morning, morning

Lord Bot

> "He's got a grill of gold, a heart of coal, and a desire for power that sends all four arms swinging into battle."
>
>

### Strategy:

The Weaken effect on Pummel is incredibly powerful, so use it early and often, especially on targets that will attack each turn. Uppercut is a powerful and worthwhile attack in most situations, even without the critical damage, but can be punishing when the critical chance hits. If the base damage + critical damage of Uppercut can KO an enemy, unleash it before using other abilities for maximum efficiency. Note that Counter damage is determined by the offense stat, so Counter damage will be higher with an offense buff like Enrage, or reduced if Lord Bot is Weakened.

### Items:

For synergy with the Counter trait, use Enrage items to beef up his offense and beat up on enemies when they focus on him. Similarly, you can stack Offense Boost items for a powerful Counter and even harder-hitting Uppercuts. Try adding a Poison item for devastating multi-round damage to any target Lord Bot attacks.

### Team:

Lord Bot is all about damaging his enemies, so teaming him with some support characters makes sense. Use a character with Guardian to absorb some damage: a Dwarf will provide another attack with Weaken, while a Knight Errant can provoke enemies away from Lord Bot. A Sorcerer with his bursting Lightning Strike offers some big damage possibilities, while his Quick Heal can provide just enough health to keep everyone upright until the victory is won.
Spider Bot

> "First seen in the Wastelands months before the scourge, these utilitarian bots originated beyond the Realm. Their intent remains unknown."
>
>

###  Elite Evolution:

**Spindle**

> "With an eye for spotting trouble, Spindle makes a great ally. He may be small, but his skills give him the power to control the battlefield."
>
>

### Strategy:

Spider Bot is great for frustrating opponents with stuns and AP-generation, making him a terrific ally. Use Quick Attack as often as possible to help set up your allies abilities, and keep targeting the most dangerous enemy with Electric Web. Most enemies won’t target Spider Bot early, so make sure you have a plan to keep his allies going strong when Spider Bot’s stuns don’t land. His Static Shield trait will passively protect him until the end of most battles, but without much finishing power, consider bringing a damaging battle boost to finish off your opponent.

### Items:

With two low-cost abilities, Electric Web and the AP-generating Quick Attack, equip your Spider Bot to be a master of AP-Control. Add an Amp item for extra AP, Time Warp for extra AP-generating chances, and Burst for the chance of getting free abilities. You might also want to consider an Unstoppable item, so your Spider Bot’s stun attacks can’t be stopped!

### Team:

Spider Bot will never win any battles on his own, so you’ll need some damage-doers who can bring the pain. Try the always-enraged Brute, who can not only set up allies for extra damage with his exposing Bash, but also provides a complimentary stun chance with Fists of Fury. Executioner also has Bash, and brings the always-handy Execute. With his executing Death Ray, SOLO makes a natural pairing with Spider Bot. Try out Lancer for even more AP and Stuns.
Dwarf

> "The Kingdom's few remaining Dwarfs honor their ancient trust: eat heartily, lead wisely, defend stoutly, and battle proudly."
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Dougan**

> "He may look 312 years old, but he's still as strong as the day he punched his way out of the womb."
>
>

### Strategy:

Sunder is highly effective at any point in battle, but especially against enemies who attack each round, enemies with any offense buff, and any powerful enemy, to reduce incoming damage against your allies. Unless a KO opportunity exists, nullifying a Quick Attack or Expose ability should have highest priority. While Sunder is about utility, his Guillotine ability can instantly KO enemies, making the Dwarf a constant threat. A little math is sometimes required, but the strategic use of execute abilities like Guillotine is unparalleled. His Guardian trait is a powerful support ability that helps keep lower health allies upright longer. Area damage is the biggest concern with Guardian characters, as they will absorb the majority of the total damage from enemy AoE abilities.

### Items:

Enrage items work nicely with his Guardian trait-- any time any fighter on your team takes damage, so will your Dwarf, so even a small amount of absorbed damage will provide an Enrage stack. Invigorate items can also be useful-- due to Guardian, your Dwarf will rarely be at full health. Alternatively, go with a Reanimate item for great synergy with his Guardian trait, or Momentum for its synergy with Guillotine.

### Team:

With his versatile skill set, the dwarf is a character who makes a great ally for almost any fighter in the game. His Guardian trait and Sunder ability go a long ways to help protect allies, while his Guillotine ability can finish off enemies. Pair with a healer like Blacksmith for added survivability, or a Dark Archer who can dish out damage while the Dwarf protects him.
Rabid Wolf

> "They might be outcasts within the pack, but the rancid bite of the rabid wolves always brings their enemies to their knees."
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Spike**

> "Her smile will never win any awards, but the only prize Snarltooth cares about is hearing the anguished screams of her foes."
>
>

### Strategy:

The wolves’ Howl ability is a uniquely powerful support ability that provides a benefit to an assortment of teams. Unless you have an ally with Quick Attack, start each battle with a Howl or Bite. Howl will set up your team to deal more damage the next turn, while the early use of Bite ensures your target receives every bit of its Poison.

Don’t be afraid to let your Rabid Wolf take some damage early on to take advantage of her Adrenaline trait. This will allow for some especially deadly Bites. This tactic is especially good if you’ve got an ally who can Provoke your enemies or otherwise help your Rabid Wolf avoid KOs.

### Items:

Amp items are a great place to start, as they have great synergy with her low cost abilities. With her low health, equip Evade items to survive a few extra turns. A Reanimate item could come in handy if the Evades don’t save her. Consider using a Protect item. Though its damage reduction will slow down gaining increased buffs from her Adrenaline trait, when at lower healths Protect items will allow her to stick around longer when her Adrenaline buffs are at their highest. The synergy is even better with Adrenaline II, which has a similar effect as Protect when below 25% health.

### Team:

Add a Shield Keeper or Knight Errant to prevent enemies from focusing on your **Rabid Wolf** after she’s got some Adrenaline going. Or go with Bandit Girl for a blistering pace: buff her up with Howl, then use Gutsy to blow through your enemies. Team up with a Goblin Warrior or Dream Lurker for huge Poison combination stacks. For serious power, your wolf’s Howl buff has great synergy with Enraging allies like Big Chief, Fire Drake, or Giant.
Star Wars: Knights of the New Empire Wikia

## Welcome to the Star Wars: Knights of the New Empire Wikia

This is a personal fanon wikia devoted to a fanfic I am working on called Star Wars: Knights of the New Empire.
## About Star Wars: Knights of the New Empire

This is a fanon remake of Star Wars. It combines the Expanded Universe/Legends, the new material, my own ideas and so on to create a whole new interpretation. Disney, I mean no infringement. All characters are copyright to them, George Lucas and Lucasfilm. Also, be nice. Trolling will not be tolerated.

## Laws of the Empire

* Because this is a personal wiki, all articles can only be edited by me. This is a trolling prevention system.
* We have a zero-tolerance policy on trolling and bullying. Bans will ensue if it is found.
* Keep everything up to PG-13.
* Have fun reading everything.

## Regarding story elements

I reserve the right to reinterpret anyone and everything as I see fit. All the pre-film EU, except Rogue Planet, up through the Darth Bane trilogy and the Darth Plagueis novel is canon here.

## Just for clarity

None of the material found here is canon. This is purely a fanon wiki, full of reinterpreted/remade/completely new content. The true canon of Star Wars is what Disney now says it is. I don't mean any infringement by it. I just want to create my own interpretation of the Star Wars universe and preserve cherished memories of the expanded universe/SW Legends continuity. That said, thanks for taking a look and may the Force be with you. Always.
Faceless Knight

###

> "Born of hellfire and filled with darkness, this knight's powerful attacks are proof that selling your soul has its benefits."
>
>

### Strategy:

When focusing on a single target on a team with a healer, Bonebreaker is terrific, providing great value for its cost. Although Damnation inflicts no direct damage, its Doom effect makes it arguably the most potent ability in the game. It is especially powerful in combination with the Necromancy trait. Necromancy will revive a fallen ally whether Faceless Knight's KO comes from Doom or Bonebreaker. Remember, if one of your allies is knocked out and you can KO an enemy using Bonebreaker, always do it.

### Items:

Faceless Knight’s abilities make him a prime enemy target, so beefing him up with Defense Boost items is smart. Try an Unstoppable item to prevent opponents from disabling him with a stun or transform. Or equip a First Strike item for the chance to Doom an enemy much earlier than normal. It would be unfair if it wasn't so diabolical.

### Team:

With your opponents trying to knock out Faceless Knight as soon as possible, give him allies that keep him alive as long as possible. Start with a provoker like Shield Keeper or Knight Errant. If you’re feeling frisky, no character hogs your enemies’ attention like Big Chief. Second, give Faceless Knight a good supporter: Blacksmith and Goblin Guard will help keep FK alive longer; Spider Bot can negate your opponent’s strategies. With their damage-absorbing trait, Guardians like Goblin Guard and Knight Errant are especially good for setting up some sweet Necromancy action.

Dark Wolf

> "The howl of the dark wolf sends shivers down the spines of men, giving power to the pack and awakening their killer instincts."
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Sabreclaw**

> "Laying in wait for the perfect moment to strike, Sabreclaw is always one ambush away from devouring his enemies."
>
>

### Strategy:

The wolves’ Howl ability is a uniquely powerful support ability that provides a benefit to an assortment of teams. Claw provides good damage for its cost, especially after the first evolution which adds the Ambush buff to Claw. While Ambush won't affect the buff value of Howl, Howl should not be disregarded. Improving the output of your teammates provides a huge benefit.

### Items:

Amp items are a great place to start, as they have great synergy with his low cost abilities. With his low health, equip Evade items to survive a few extra turns. Evade with also help preserve the Ambush effect gained from Claw. A Reanimate item could come in handy if the Evades don’t save him. Try Burst & Time Warp items for some powerful combinations!

### Team:

Add a Shield Keeper or Knight Errant to prevent enemies from focusing on your Dark Wolf. Or go with Bandit Girl for a blistering pace: buff her up, then use Gutsy to blow through your enemies. For serious power, your wolf’s Howl buff has great synergy with Enraging allies like Big Chief, Fire Drake, or Giant.

Knight Errant

> "Once a stout defender of the throne, the Knight Errant now roams the realm looking for some modest loot and a decent fight."
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Sir Knight**

> "You could say that Sir Knight is a self absorbed oaf. Underestimate him and it could be the last thing you say."
>
>

### Strategy:

Use Backhand in early rounds against enemies with low cost abilities. Then use to provoke high-damage enemies away from low-health allies. Evolve Backhand and gain the chance to deal double damage! Super Slice is a powerful attack that also provides utility by Injuring targets. Try to use it whenever you need to disrupt healing on a target. While it deals plenty of damage, use Super Slice strategically, as it lacks the efficiency of some characters’ lower cost attacks. The Guardian trait is a powerful support ability that helps keep lower health allies upright longer. Area damage is the biggest concern with Guardian characters, as they will absorb the majority of the total damage from enemy AoE abilities. While he's great at defending allies, the combination of Guardian and Provoke can result in Knight Errant taking a lot of damage quickly, so always keep an eye on his health.

### Items:

Weaken items are a good choice because Knight Errant will be using his Backhand a lot early, so incoming damage will be reduced. The low cost and utility of Backhand also lends itself to Amp items, which provide bonus AP. Though he has a high defense to offense ratio, the combination of Provoke and Guardian can sap his health quickly, so beef up his tankiness with a Defense Boost item. As with any Guardian character, Enrage items are always good, as he’ll gain an offense boost each time he absorbs damage directed at allies.

### Team:

His Provoke ability can cause some conflicts with his Guardian ability, as he will can take a lot of damage quickly, so teaming him up with a healer is good practice. Blacksmith is usually the best choice with his strong Repair ability and Cleanse chance to remove any pesky status effects. You’ll also need a strong attacker to provide the damage you’ll need to win. With Knight Errant providing defense, you can do well with a low health-high damage ally like Stone Warlock or Bandit Girl.
Darth Set

Darth Set is the current Dark lord of the Sith.

## About him

Born Savage Opress on Dathomir, Darth Set was the brother of the late Darth Maul. After hearing of the death of Palpatine, Savage rose to take the mantle of Dark lord of the Sith, taking a young female Twi'lek, whom he named Darth Talon, as his apprentice in accordance with Darth Bane's teachings. For the next twenty-three years, they plotted from the old Sith academy on Korriban. He is the Galactic Empire's worst enemy. He wields a red-bladed saberstaff.

## Trivia

Executioner

> "Drop 'em, lop 'em, and throw 'em on the pile." Question their motto and you'll find your head in a basket."
>
>

### Elite Evolution:

**Slayer**

> "Once the mighty hand of the Kingdom's Justice, Slayer now believes only in the Authority of the Axe."
>
>

### Strategy:

Evolve so each Bash attack will Expose its target. An Exposed target receives extra damage from every additional attack that round, so if you plan to attack the same target more than once in a single round, always use Bash first to maximize damage output. The Execute ability can instantly KO enemies, making Executioner arguably the most dangerous fighter in the Realm. While a little math is sometimes required, the strategic use of execute abilities is unparalleled. If an execution is in doubt, make sure to use Bash first so the Execute ability deals more damage, thus increasing the chances of an execution. If Executioner has lost health, always use him for any KO opportunities for his Momentum health bonus. But take note: if Executioner is Injured when he KOs an enemy, the health gained from KOs will be reduced.

### Items:

Add an extra Momentum item for massive health gains from KOs. Go for an Offense Boost item to punish enemies and improve Execute chances. His offensive output makes him an early target, so keep him alive longer with Defense Boost or Invigorate items.

### Team:

Since Executioner has a clear role on your team, you’re better off allying him with some other good role players. Use a Blacksmith for heals and cleanses, and a Knight Errant to absorb damage and provoke enemies.
Darth Bane

Darth Bane is a historical Sith lord.

## About him

Born as Dessel on the Cortosis mining world of Apatros to an abusive, drunkard father named Hurst, Bane was a major Sith lord in galactic history. His mother died bringing him into the world, and so his father hated him, so much so that he began referring to his son as "bane". One night, when he was eighteen, his father beat him so badly that he passed out, taking it all without a sound. He wished his father dead, imagining a giant hand crushing his heart. His father was the first person he murdered with the Force. After killing a Republic solider, he escaped Apatros and joined the Sith army, which led to him being discovered as Force-sensitive and being taken to the Sith academy on Korriban to train as a SIth lord. He was responsible for the destruction of the old Sith order, instituting the rule of two. Taking a girl named Rain as his apprentice, she, by now named Darth Zannah, was the one who later killed him.

## In Knights of the New Empire

Bane is referred to by the Sith characters, who discovered Palpatine's writings and learned of him over the course of twenty-three years. Due to being dead, he makes no live appearances. The Sith also posess his holocron.

Sentiment (song)

"**Sentiment**" is the fourth track from VÉRITÉ's second extended play, *Sentiment*.

## Lyrics

If I could recall what it feels like missing you

I'd dig you up, and you hold you down

Like bones, cemented in sediment

I'd shut my eyes to find the sentiment

Like bones, cemented in sediment

I'd shut my eyes to find the sentiment

Cause I'm so gone

I don't feel like anything

Without living in someone's arms

I hold on tightly to everything, that I've lost

Cause I don't feel like anything

Without living in someone's arms

But I don't hold on tightly, hold on tightly to what we

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

If I could recall what it feels like missing you

I'd dig you up, and hold you down

Cause we're like bones

And we fall and we break and we take too much time to hold

You'll get buried the deep you go

Cause I'm so gone

I don't feel like anything

Without living in someone's arms

I hold on tightly to everything, that I've lost

Cause I don't feel like anything

Without living in someone's arms

But I don't hold on tightly, hold on tightly to what we

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

We're like bones, cemented in sediment

I'd shut my eyes to find the sentiment

Like bones, cemented in sediment

I'd shut my eyes to find the sentiment

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost

Lost, lost
Better (song)

"**Better**" is the fifth track from VÉRITÉ's debut studio album, *Somewhere in Between*.

## Lyrics

Fixed and false

Captivating crazy, don't come over lately

Apologies for days and days

Can't say I don't make a mark

Hands around your wrists

Fingers crossed and crisp

Impressions left from holding on

Maybe I fucked it up

Maybe I let you down

Maybe I'm too far gone

Maybe it's simple that it's over now

And maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

Maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

Maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

Maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

Tried and true

Dripping from my lips, screaming faults and fits

Counting out the ways and ways

You don't see clear no more

Hallucinating crazed, staying up for days

Believing what I tell you to

Maybe I fucked you up

Maybe you let me down

Maybe we're too far gone

Maybe it's simple that it's over now

And maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

Maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

Maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

Maybe we're just better, better, better, better, better off

So we don't see clear no more

Maybe we're just better off
