Phoenix Knight
From Paladin·Tank
01
Overview
Phoenix Knight is the holy Human tank: shield walls, chains, and lockdown. Oasis makes the kit more active — and let you move (at half the old defense bonus), /Armor are passive, Drain Health scales deep and uses Atk.Spd, and control skills (, , ) land more reliably. You also get +20% PvP Attack and +40% vs monsters.
You hold the line, peel for casters, and decide when the party engages. Damage is respectable for a tank, but your job is still space and survival.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Excellent hate tools and improved control land rates
- Mobile UD/ — reposition while tanking
- stacks with ; Drain Health is a real sustain tool
- silences physical and magical on Oasis
Cons
- / Aura of Hate: shorter duration (3s) with longer CD — timing matters
- UD/ give half the old raw defense
- Not the highest PvP damage tank (Hell Knight / Shillien Templar hit harder)

Power Drivers
CON
Primary: HP and tank durability. First investment for holding the line
STR
Secondary: Tribunal/Judgment damage and hate pressure. Not your main dial, but it matters
DEX
Support: shield block rate and Atk.Spd cadence (Drain Health scales with Atk.Spd)
P.Def
Primary defense: physical mitigation and shield tanking, plus shield defense rate
M.Def
Magic survivability so casters cannot delete you while you peel

06
Ability Tree & Progression
On Oasis, after level 80 you spend Ability Points (via .abilities) across three shared trees — Knights (defense/HP), Warriors (physical survivability + light P.Atk), and Wizards (magic survivability + light M.Atk/Cast.Spd). You get 26 points total; trees are not class-locked. Row unlocks use total points spent. Reset costs 10M Adena.
Prioritize Knights almost exclusively — Guardian /Body/Armor → Defense Master. Sprinkle Warriors for HP/crit wards if you still need points.
07
Gearing & Itemization
Sword+shield or one-hander with high P.Def sets. Focus shield defense rate, HP, P.Def/M.Def. Enchant armor and shield early. Jewels: CON/HP/P.Def.
