Review
Knight of the Lake (KotL) is a backline Basic Attack damage dealer with anti-healing utility. He has massively boosted offensive stats while on high HP% and to help with that condition he passively steals 90% of all enemy healing. KotL uses two distinct Enhanced Attacks - a chain sweep that is used after every 3 Basic Attacks and stomp that he uses after enemy units die. His Ultimate Skill has 2 versions, every deploy weaker one gets used first and after that subsequent uses trigger a powerful mapwide nuke that prioritises backline units.
KotL's Exclusive Equipment set is simply better Britra Relics.
PVE Review
In PVE, KotL is a powerful damage dealer in content that consistently spawns enemies. He can easily find place in Dive, Shadow Palace and Dimensional Trimming setups. Most notably, KotL can be used in every Last Stand due to being able to use his powerful Ultimate skill with almost 0 cooldown, making him one of the best DPS option for that mode.
PVP Review
In PVP, KotL is an expensive front to back damage dealer that relies on enemy units dying. As soon as a single enemy falls he starts chaining massively damaging stops that can quickly delete entire teams. Even with just basic attacks his damage is especially high whenever he can sure fire enemies, either through HIT / EVA interation or with the help of specific buffs / debuffs (e.g. Vesca, Natalia operator). On top of that, Knight of the Lake absolutely destroys all healing-based teams and units.
For his many strengths KotL pays with several crippling weaknesses. Much of his damage output depends on high HP% threshold. This makes him uniquely weak to non-lethal backline harassment, especially when combined with barrier reflux effects. As he cripples all healers, this means that whenever he is strong KotL teams don't run healers too. This means there is no way for him to heal back to high HP% and get his damage buffs back. Additionally, KotL needs something to die to start doing his damage. Against strong frontline options he struggles to get going and gets grinded out by greedier teams.
While KotL has a unique wincondition in empowered version of Ultimate Skill, it's too slow to be relevant in PVP enviroment. Situations where this comes up are too rare and trying to build skill haste makes KotL into a way worse Replacer Queen.
