• The Dragonknight class is usually used as the typical Warrior class in the game.
• The Dragonknight can be used very effectively to create a Juggernaut/Dreadnought type character.
• Though primarily a close range character, the Dragonknight is prepared from a low level to close the distance between themselves and enemies with the Fiery Grip ability.
