While introduced with the Heavensward expansion of Final Fantasy 14, the rather intimidating Dark Knight is nothing but heavenly. Armed with their gigantic greatswords and tasked to take up arms against evil-doers protected by titles and privilege, the Dark Knights have become isolated due to their sacred duty. However, in Final Fantasy 14 gameplay, Dark Knights excel in taking the fight back to the enemy, reinforcing their strength as tanks in how they absorb damage and dish it back through fierce attacks.
