### General Tips

* Use your Smash to knock away any foe near your friends.
* Smash can be used to damage a group of enemies that try to run at you.

### Skill Usage

* Keep in mind that your dash stops on the first enemy hit, so don't expect yourself to get in the middle of the fight in a team fight.
	+ If you find yourself difficult to get into the middle of the fight, use your mount then jump in by pressing Shift before doing lots of damage.
* Land some auto attacks between using abilities to maximise your damage with your passive.
* Don't dodge projectiles! Get yourself hit on purpose to proc your passive for high damage by retaliation.
	+ However, don't do this while your low on health or you will be one dead knight.
* Using Shift allows you to dive forward and intercept projectiles to keep your passive up to prevent others from harm.
* Your Ultimate has a long cooldown. Use it wisely or in any life risking situation.

#### Beware of:

* Ranged enemies can mess you since you need to rely on your dash to get into their face. Prioritize them over melee before attacking the others.
