Information
Casual Play

Blue Knight is one of the best characters in the game for casual play. All of their magic attacks stun enemies in place for a couple seconds, which helps to start a combo safely or make getting away much easier. They also are one of two characters in the game, the other being Blacksmith, to have an air splash. an air splash is much easier to use and is a lot safer than a regular downward projectile. The only downsides to Blue Knight are that some enemies resist their magic and their splash attack uses half the mana bar per cast, regardless of magic level. In addition Blue Knight's splash attack does poor damage per second against bosses.

Advanced tactics

Blue Knight is the safest character while still remaining optimal. Their magic allows for much safer juggling, because of the stun. Their elemental infusion also freezes enemies, which allows for an infinite stunlock on any humanoid enemy and beefy ai manipulation from anywhere on the screen. None of their magic flinches beefies either, which just adds to their safety.

Involvement
Blue Knight is one of the King's Knights, to whom they serve with loyalty, helping to get the princesses back and defeating the Evil Wizard.

Magic
Splash Attack "Ice Shards"Element: Ice

Max Hits: 1 upgrade per level (max 8)

Damage/Hit: Half of Base Magic Damage Use // to perform. At max level, the "Ice Shards" Splash Attack has no gaps in its landing location. With each shard being able to freeze humanoid enemies, this Splash Attack can be very useful with a full team of 4, allowing them to Juggle freely without taking any damage.

Unfortunately, it has a few major downsides. Unlike other Splash Attacks, you will never be able to cast more than two times with a full Magic bar. Due to its costly nature, this Splash Attack cannot be spammed too carelessly or else your Magic bar will run out often. In addition, this Splash Attack does absolutely nothing against enemies that are already frozen.

Magic Projectile "Ice Bolt"Element: Ice

Damage: Base Magic Damage Use // to perform. This Magic Projectile freezes every humanoid enemy except for Cultists, who are immune to Ice.

Air Projectile "Ice Shards"Element: Ice

Max Hits: 1 upgrade per level (max 8)

Damage/Hit: Half of Base Magic Damage Use, /, /, to perform. At max level, the "Ice Shards" Air Projectile has no gaps in their landing location. With each shard being able to freeze normal enemies, this Air Projectile can be very useful with a full team of 4 being able to Juggle freely without taking any damage.

Unfortunately, it has a few major downsides. Unlike other Splash Attacks, you will never be able to cast more than two times with a full Magic bar. Due to its costly nature, this Air Projectile cannot be spammed too carelessly or else your Magic bar will run out often. In addition, this Air Projectile does absolutely nothing against enemies that are already frozen.

Elemental Infusion "Ice Encasement"Element: Ice

Damage: Base Magic Damage + Base Melee Damage Use // to perform. When performed, the attack will freeze the enemy, allowing for the // to be repeated infinitely without the enemy having any chance to retaliate due to the Ice effect resetting the hit counter.

This Elemental Infusion also allows for beefy ai manipulation anywhere, provided you freeze them before starting your Elemental Infusion loop. Because of the combo's infinite nature, it is better than using the drill combo (//) on humanoid enemies. However, for most bosses the drill combo will still be Blue Knight's best option, even at max level.

Weapons with elemental effects aside from Ice may cause the enemy to break out of the freeze, allowing the enemy to retaliate. Try not to use those weapons with Blue Knight, especially on levels like Full Moon.

Magic Jump "Ice Fist"Element: Ice

Damage: Base Magic Damage Use // to perform a giant fist made of ice upwards, boosting you into the air. Freezes any enemies that you are overlapping when used. This attack will damage enemies that are already frozen, which will unfreeze them.

Tips

 * Blue Knight greatly benefits from a Magic and Strength heavy weapon like the NG Golden Sword.
 * Be mindful of using the Splash Attack and Air Projectile, as both are expensive to cast. This leads to Blue Knight being vulnerable, like Red Knight.
