Character Introduction

The Rune Knight, a 3rd job class advancing from Knight and Lord Knight, is based on the concept of a <Magic Swordsman> who can use both magic and swords simultaneously, mainly wielding powerful PvP skills. Using magic derived from Runestones, they strengthen their own abilities and can charge into enemy lines to devastate them with powerful attacks. Instead of the previous Peco Peco, they ride dragons, and possess skills that can only be used while mounted on a dragon.
