Phoenix Knight: Powerful warriors who blast their foes with solar fire while calling healing light upon their allies. Their solar fire attacks will strike as either fire or light damage, whichever will hit their target the hardest, and their potent healing and cleansing abilities make them tough opponents to bring down.

Mind Knight: Psionic warriors who strengthen their mental abilities by tapping into their inner magic. Adept at telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation, they are mobile scouts who can quickly get a lay of the land and sow chaos among their foes with physical and mental debilitations, or even outright compulsions.

Storm Knight: Swift skirmishers who rely on extreme mobility and powerful lightning magic to strike their foes down and avoid reprisals. Extremely fast and difficult to pin down, they can cast entire enemy units into disarray with their wealth of area attacks. All mage knights can cast while they fight, but experienced storm knights are also able to fight while they move.

Earth Knight: The heaviest of infantry, earth knights hammer their foes with physical and natural forces while shielding themselves with the power of the earth. Highly resilient in the face of any attack, earth knights provide a slow and steady offense supported by powerful gemstone shields and the endurance of a living mountain.

Sea Knight: Healers first, fighters second, battle mages a somewhat distant third, while sea knights lack the raw offensive power of other mage knights, they make up for it with amazing personal defense and recovery abilities. And though their attacks may be individually weak, like the sea itself, they are able to wear down even the strongest defenses eventually, eroding their opponents away with gradually strengthening spells, making them terrors in a battle of attrition.

Mana Knight: Experimenting pioneers who do amazing things with raw magical energy. They have the most conventional magical training of the mage knights, even if they sometimes put it to unconventional use. Their arcane attacks can overwhelm the powers of other spellcasters, and while they lack the scope of power of full-fledged archmages, they are masters of the fundamentals of the various arcane schools.

Class Talents

Spell / Phoenix Ascendance1.00
  • Effective talent level: 5.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Your blood burns with solar fire and glorious power. Increases Fire, Light, Fear, and Cut Resistance by 48%, and Blind Resistance by 24%, scaling with Strength. Also increases Fire and Light Resistance Cap by 30%. However, intense cold can suppress your inner fires - you take a -20% penalty on your cold resistance and cold resistance cap.

    In addition, you can use your wards to fuel your regenerative abilities. When beneficial to do so, you will expend points of ward negation for healing instead.
    Phoenix Heart
5/5
  • Effective talent level: 4.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Your blood burns with glorious power, allowing you to recover from injury and ailment at an incredible rate and heightening your strongest spells and attacks. Your life regeneration is increased by 9, your healing factor by 12%, and your critical power by 12%. Values increase with Strength.
    Phoenix Blood
4/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You manifest wings of brightly colored flame to protect yourself and punish your foes. Your flames rapidly shift through red, orange, yellow, and white. As a Reaction, you have a 4% chance to shield yourself with your wings when you are attacked, with the result dependent on their color (randomly determined).

    If your wings are red, you will take the damage fully, but also reciprocate an equal amount as solar fire damage on the attacker.

    If your wings are orange, you will absorb 50% of the damage, negating it and converting it to rejuvenation over five turns.

    If your wings are yellow, you will instantly heal the damage, negating it.

    If your wings are white, you will reflect 50% of the damage, negating it and redirecting it to the attacker as solar fire damage.

    In addition, any time you pass a turn in combat (default hotkey 5) you wrap yourself in your wings for that turn, increasing your reaction chance by an additional 4%.

    Chance of success increases with Strength. You may disable this function by turning off Eldritch Combat (in case you don't want to risk dealing backlash damage to people who attack you).

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Reactions: The first time you receive damage or detrimental effects from a given enemy in a given turn, you have a chance to trigger a Reaction. The chance of success is equal to the combined chances of all talents and effects that grant a reaction chance. If you are capable of multiple different types of reactions, the one that applies will be determined randomly from among them, proportionate to their independent chances. The effects of a Reaction will apply to all damage and detrimental effects (where applicable) caused by that attacker during that turn.

    Fixed Cooldown: 20
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: The most iconic power of the phoenix is its ability to revive anew from the ashes. The soul of the phoenix sleeps within you, affording you similar power. Passively, you do not die until your life falls more than 0 below 0.

    While this talent is sustained, when you fall below 0 life, you immolate and revive like the phoenix of legend. You deactivate this talent to unleash a blast of solar fire in a radius of 1, dealing 27 damage to all enemies within. You and any allies in the area are healed instead.

    Description: You unleash a beam of solar fire, dealing 61 damage to all targets in a line and burning them for an additional 8 fire damage per turn for four turns. Damage improves with your Spellpower.

    Solar fire attacks deal either fire or light damage, whichever will hurt the target most, and illuminate affected tiles. They are naturally selective, only harming enemies.

    This spell can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Temporary Life: Increases your current and maximum life. When the effect ends, your maximum life is reduced, but not your current life. Temp life effects are capable of merging.

Spell / Glory Rising1.00
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 50
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 12
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Spell (100% of a turn)
    Is: a spell
    Description: You call healing light down upon your allies. This instantly heals yourself and all allies in radius 5 for 143 health. Healing can crit. If this healing would bring a target's health above its maximum, that target begins rejuvenating the remainder over five turns. The healing will increase with your Spellpower.

    This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    This talent carries a secondary effect with a 71 heal power.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Secondary Effect: Talents that shield or heal as their primary effect and which take a turn to use may carry a secondary effect. This provides an additional shield or heal one turn after the talent is used. The value of the secondary effect is typically lower than the primary effect (though this may not be the case if some of the talent's power goes to other effects), and it does not carry any special effects that the main effect might. The secondary effect is boosted by 1% per percent of your missing life or lost shield value at the time of the trigger. Secondary Effects cannot be triggered if the talent was originally triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    Rejuvenation: Your life regeneration increases by the listed amount. Rejuvenation effects stack with Regeneration effects and can merge. However, there is a cap on how much life Rejuvenation can restore per turn; if a Rejuvenation effect would exceed this cap, it spreads the total healing out over a longer duration.
    Light of Healing

    Is: a spell
    Description: You give a piercing cry of challenge as phoenix wings flash from your back - and carry you into battle. You fly instantly into melee range of a target in range 5. All enemies in radius 10 will then start focusing their attacks on you, as your shriek challenges them to engage you directly.

    You then make an attack against your target, dealing 95% normal damage.

    This talent can be triggered through Eldritch Combat. When it is you don't move, but you strike the target with your flaming wings, for a second attack dealing Solar Fire damage.
    Wings of Battle

    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Is: a spell
    Description: You invoke cleansing flames over your allies, removing all cross-tier effects and 0 negative effects from yourself and all allies in radius 5. This can crit. If you remove more effects than a target has, it will gain a Providence effect for one turn per effect in excess, clearing a new negative effect each round while it lasts (assuming it receives more in the interim).

    This talent takes no time to use.

    This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

Generic Talents

Technique / Weapons Master1.00
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: 5
    Cooldown: 10
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
    Description: Focusing your power, you leap to a chosen square in a range of 5. If your chosen square is occupied, you land in a random square adjacent to the target and attack it, dealing 57% weapon damage. Otherwise, if there are any enemies adjacent to your target square, you attack one at random.

    If the target dies as a result of this attack, you are able to chain additional Leaping Strikes at new targets. The talent doesn't go on cooldown, and for the next ten turns you can use Leaping Strike without spending Essence. However, each sequential use lowers all damage inflicted (including from procs) to 50% of normal. This penalty stacks with multiple sequential uses. In addition, you cannot target an open space with this talent while chaining; you can only use it to target new enemies.

    The special effect your fighting style applies to Eldritch Combat is increased by 0%.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Bolt attack, when that spell is available.
    Leaping Strike
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 10
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
    Description: You atttack all targets in an arc with your weapon or weapons doing 57% damage. If you hit, the target suffers a negative effect for 2 turns.

    With a two-handed weapon, you go for the face, blinding the target.

    With a weapon and shield, you follow up with a powerful bash, stunning the target.

    With a single weapon (or unarmed), you make precisely disabling strikes, disarming and silencing the target.

    With dual weapons, you make a disorienting barrage of attacks, confusing the target.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Wave attack, when that spell is available.
    Sweeping Strike
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 10
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
    Description: You assault all targets around you for 57% weapon damage. Your attacks also impede their combat efforts for 2 turns, lowering some of their stats by 11%, depending on your weapon type. Chance of success is based on physical power.

    If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, you lower their resistances to all damage.

    If you are wielding a weapon and shield, you lower all of their damage percentages.

    If you are wielding a single weapon (or unarmed), you lower their Accuracy, Defense, Saves, and Powers.

    If you are wielding dual weapons, you lower their global speed.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Burst attack, when that spell is available.
    Whirlwind Strike
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: 5
    Cooldown: 10
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
    Description: You use your magic to physically attack a distant foe, in much the same way as with the Arcane Strike talent, except instead of using your power to wield your weapon at a distance, you use it to pull your target in close and then attack it twice for 57% weapon damage. You keep whatever magic you used to pull your target active for a time, hampering their mobility for 2 turns. If this attack kills your target, the surge of victory empowers your magic, allowing you to hamper the mobility of all enemies in radius 2 instead.

    If you wield a two-handed weapon, hampered targets are pulled towards you one tile per turn.

    If you wield a weapon and shield, hampered targets are pinned.

    If you wield a single weapon (or are unarmed), hampered targets have their movement speed halved.

    If you wield dual weapons, you have a 50% chance each turn to force the target to move one tile towards you; this costs the target time as if it spent a turn moving.

    Regardless of the exact results, hampering is resisted as a physical pin effect.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Blast attack, when that spell is available.

    Description: While Highers are not meant to rule other humans - and show no particular will to do so - they are frequently called to higher duties.
    Their nature grants them better senses than other humans.
    Increase blindness immunity by 4%, maximum sight range by 1, and increases existing infravision, and heightened senses range by 1.

    Increase spell save by 0 and arcane resistance by 0%.
    Also, when you cast a spell dealing damage, you gain a 20% bonus to the damage type for 5 turns. (This effect has a cooldown.)

    Description: Activate some of your inner magic, using it to power your abilities. For the next 1 turns all active talents will be used without resource cost.
    Your resources must still be high enough to initially power the talent and failure rates (etc.) still apply.

Technique / Combat Casting1.00
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 0
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: The iconic power of the Mage Knights, you channel the raw energy of your magic outwardly as you fight, saving the effort of taking active control of your power and allowing it to flow freely. Your channeled power is visible as a brightly colored aura around you.

    Your first successful melee attack each turn grants a 25% chance to trigger one of various Mage Knight talents instead of dealing the bonus damage. This reduces the cooldown of the talent to one-third normal and the Essence cost to one-fifth normal. The talent operates at two-thirds normal power. Triggered talents are determined randomly, but with prioritization based on how useful they are in the moment (spells that restore life are more likely to trigger when low on life, spells that attack multiple foes are more likely to trigger the more foes ar around, etc). Talents of higher talent level are generally prioritized over those of lower level.

    If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, triggered talents operate at full power.

    If you are using a shield, when you trigger a talent, you also have a 50% chance to automatically Block. Defensive talents have their priority increased when using a shield.

    If you are using two weapons, when you trigger a talent, you have a 50% chance to trigger the talent a second time at no further resource cost.

    If you are using a single one-handed weapon (or unarmed), your chance of triggering a talent is increased by half.

    Note that since Essence users rely on channeling minimal amounts of mana, but are able to combine them with mental and physical effort to produce potent magical effects, they don't receive the normal staff accuracy bonus. Instead, when wielding a staff, they deal bonus damage of their favored energy type equal to one-third their Magic stat plus two per point their Accuracy exceeds their target's Defense (short staves do not change this calculation).
    Eldritch Combat
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You have placed runic wards on your skin that protect you from harm. Your wards can shrug off 3% of all incoming damage. Levels in the Thick Skin talent will deduct from this bonus.

    Your wards also rejuvenate energy quickly, reflected in a 3 bonus to life regeneration.

    Since your wards are runic in nature, their energy rejuvenation also applies to your inscriptions. Each turn you have a 2% chance to lower the cooldown of all of your runes and infusions by 1 and remove their saturation effects. Some of the energy absorbed by your wards also goes to facilitate this, increasing the chance by the percentage of your maximum life that has been lost (so if you're at half life, the chance would be increased by 50% to 3%).

    Values scale with Willpower.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Damage Shrug: You reduce all incoming damage by the listed percentage. This only applies to the damage that gets through to your life.
    Eldritch Wardings
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Essence cost: 30
    Range: 5
    Cooldown: 20
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
    Description: You can channel magic through your weapon, or wield your weapon through your magic. When you use this attack, you wield your weapon by supernatural means. Phoenix Knight conjure talons of flame to hold their weapons. Mind Knights wield them telekinetically. Storm Knights manipulate currents of wind to wield them. Earth Knights control the wood, stone, and metal that makes them up directly. Sea Knights wield them in cohesive tendrils of water. Mana Knights project magical hands that wield them.

    Regardless of the method, this lets you attack an enemy at range 5 for 45% weapon damage. In addition, if the attack hits, it is guaranteed to trigger Eldritch Combat, and the prioritization factor increases by a power of 0.5, making the talents most useful in your current situation more likely to trigger.

    This talent also passively enhances your ability to channel power through your aura and weapons. While Eldritch Combat is active, you now shed light bright enough to illuminate all tiles in a 3 radius and reduce the Stealth and Invisibility of enemies within that radius by 0. Your melee attacks passively deal 1 additional damage of your favored energy type. Stealth and Invisibility reduction scale with Willpower and bonus damage scales with the better of Spellpower or Mindpower.
    Eldritch Strike
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Essence is fundamentally a combination of Stamina, Psi, and Mana, combining physical, mental, and magical reserves into a single pool of energy. Marshalling all your energies together takes effort, but you are able to recover substantially faster than most. Your Essence regeneration improves by 0.9, scaling strongly with Willpower.

    In addition, when you pass a turn during combat (default hotkey 5) the brief rest combined with the high adrenaline allows you more opportunity to recover. You regain 2 life (based on your current life regeneration with a cap based on maximum life), 1 Essence (based on your current Essence regeneration), and have a 20% chance to lower the cooldown of all non-fixed cooldown talents by 1. You also gain an additional 9 Surge value that turn. This only works while there are enemies in your vicinity; if you're in a safe location, you don't have enough adrenaline pumping to receive the benefit. These values also scale with Willpower.

    Extended mechanics information below. To hide this section, disable the Tooltips Helpers option in the Mage Knight Plus tab of the Game Options menu.

    Surge Value: Each turn, you gain the listed surge value. If this causes your surge value to exceed 100, your surge value lowers by 100 and you lower the duration of all detrimental effects upon you by 1.
    Eldritch Vigor

Technique / Flexible Combat Training1.00
  • Effective talent level: 2.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: You are trained in the use of all melee weapons. You get a 24 bonus to Accuracy, 6% critical chance, and a 30% bonus to weapon damage with any melee weapons. These bonuses are increased by 25% when wielding a two-handed weapon.

    You also receive a +30 bonus to Physical Power.

    When you first learn this talent, you may substitute Magic for all other abilities for purposes of weapon damage and weapon requirements. You are also able to make two attacks per round regardless of fighting style, as follows:
    -When armed with two weapons, they may both be one-handed weapons. For each dagger that you wield, your offhand damage modifier increases by 25% and your combat speed by 10% (if you wield a single dagger or a dagger with a shield this modifier will apply to the bonus attack from them as well).
    -When armed with a two-handed weapon, any time you attack you make a second attack for 25% normal damage.
    -When armed with a shield, any time you attack you also execute a shield bash for 50% normal damage.
    -When armed with a single weapon (or unarmed) any time you attack you also make an unarmed strike for 50% normal damage. When fully unarmed you get a +20% bonus to your combat speed.

    The damage bonuses don't stack with those from other mastery talents. The Accuracy and critical bonuses don't apply if you know the Combat Accuracy talent or if you have a Steam pool.

    Description: You are trained in the use of all armor. You get a +12% bonus to armor hardiness, as well as bonuses to various defensive stats depending on armor worn. The effects of this talent are increased by 25% if you are using a shield.
    Cloth Armor: 6% Resist Cap, 6% Resist All, 9% lower chance to receive physical critical hits.
    Light Armor: 12% Physical Resistance, 24 Defense*, 9% chance to shrug off physical critical hits.
    Massive Armor: 24% additional Armor Hardiness, 12 Armor, 9% reduced critical multiplier when receiving physical critical hits.
    Heavy Armor: Receives half of all above benefits.

    *The Defense bonus will be converted to a 6 point Damage Mitigation if your existing Dexterity and Defense are low enough that it does not seem like you have sufficient investment in Defense for it to be a useful form of defense for you.

    The effects do not apply if you know the Heavy Armour Training or Light Armour Training, or Thick Skin talents, or if you have a Steam pool.

    When you first learn this talent, you may substitute Magic for all other abilities for purposes of armor requirements, and you gain the ability to wear all forms of armor.
