Void Knight

Master any magic and make it your own!

Description

The Void Knight is an Expert Job in Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin, available after unlocking the corresponding nodes in the Red Mage and Knight Job Trees. In addition, it is available to Neon after clearing the Ebon Memories: The Truthseeker side mission.

Void Knight is a tank job that specializes in magical defense and MP restoration. It combines the full-counter playstyle of the Knight and the MP management of the Red Mage acting as a good way to gain max MP and activate command abilities. To help strengthen its countering abilities, its passives include an increase to ability damage, a decrease to action abilities, and a decrease to damage taken.

Gameplay[]

Job Action[]

The Void Knight can use the Job Action, Runic, which creates a runic shield that can absorb magical attacks and either absorb them for MP or turn them back against the attacker. This action is great for acting as the party's tank with the Knight's Provoke and Black Mage's Seal of Blood to boost its power and finish enemies of with soul bursts, further strengthening its MP management.

Equipment[]

Void Knight employs the use of light weaponry such as the sword, and daggers, and even heavy weaponry like greatswords and axes despite its penchant for magic. Its combo ability effects favor each weapon barring the axe to increase break damage dealt and manage MP while doing physical damage.

Stats[]

The Void Knight receives a stat bonus to Spirit, which increases magic defenses, increases status accumulation, and increases MP recovery when Soul Shielding.

Etymology[]

[view · edit · purge]Runes are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets, which were used to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialized purposes thereafter. Historic anthropology regarding the Germanic and Norse peoples that used runes also note that the language was also highly used in magical practices related to these cultures, whether it be in divination, enchantment, and incantation.
