Dark Souls Knight Class Notes and Tips

• As for PvE, the Knight actually has many convenient stats to help a new player along without being too obvious about it. By spending one level in Faith, the Knight is able to cast the Heal, Force, and Seek Guidance miracles which can be bought from Petrus at the Firelink Shrine, all of which are immediately useful to a new player since they boost survivability or otherwise provide assistance. There are also many weapons that require 12 Dexterity or 12 Strength to equip, meaning you'd only need one level in those stats to use them, too.
• The Knight, along with the Cleric, is one of two classes that start out with the Way of White covenant. This covenant boosts matchmaking with other co-op covenants, which generally results in the player finding more help and being invaded less.
• The only severe drawback to the Knight class is that it starts out fat-rolling. It is highly recommended to focus on Endurance a few levels until one normal rolls or manage to destroy Havel early to obtain his Ring which increases weight limit to a great degree.

Builds That Use Knight Class in Dark Souls

• The Knight class is great for focusing on utilizing heavier armor and/or weapons & shields early in the game for a focus on a more Tank playstyle more-so then other starting classes. Generally Strength can be a reliable go-to for dealing good damage while still maintaining the heavy utility.
