Knight Online, with over twenty years of history, is one of the most established legends of the MMORPG world. One of the most important factors determining your character's power, durability, and impact on the battlefield is, without a doubt, the armor sets you choose. Choosing the right set not only increases your defense; thanks to set bonuses, it lets you gain enormous advantages against your opponents.
In Knight Online, armor generally consists of 5 pieces: Helmet, Pauldron (Chest), Pads (Leggings), Gauntlets and Boots. When you wear the pieces of an armor type together, the game grants you extra attributes (Set Bonus). These bonuses can include:
Introduced to the game with the legendary Krowaz map, these sets have long been regarded as the game's top-tier (end-game) armor.
Added to the game as a tier above the Krowaz sets, Holy Knight armor stands out both with its visual design and the high defense and resistance values it offers.
Developed as an alternative to the Krowaz sets, these are relatively easier to craft and obtain.
These are non-"Paper" sets that every character inevitably turns to, craftable with materials obtained from daily quests or events such as Juraid Mountain.
One of the deep mechanics of Knight Online is the "Combo Set" logic. Instead of wearing all 5 pieces of a single set, players sometimes combine pieces from different sets to achieve more optimized attributes.
Example: By wearing 3 pieces of Krowaz and 2 pieces of Rosetta (or Holy Knight), you can aim for maximum HP or Attack (Stat) bonus instead of pure defense. Rogue and Warrior players in particular frequently use such combinations according to their budget and anti-defense needs.
Combine the pieces, unleash your power!
Choosing the right armor set in Knight Online fully unlocks your character's potential. When making your choice, instead of looking only at pure defense points, you should holistically calculate the extra HP, MP and Stat (Str, Dex, Int) bonuses the set offers your character. Remember: a character that cannot survive will be ineffective on the battlefield no matter how high its attack is. By choosing the set best suited to your server's situation and your budget, you can become the master of the market and the PK zones!
