In the fiesta

Knight is known for its !Cover + Guard strats, which can be used to cheese any boss that can be reduced to only physical attacks (e.g Berserk status). Two-Handed is useful for increasing damage in fights where shields are not useful. Equip Sword can pass the Knight's immense strength stat to other classes that could use it. Two-Handed can be used by Berserker, Samurai, the basic Staff, Flail, and Morningstar.

Knights can equip the (disputable) strongest weapon in the game, the Brave Blade (it has the highest raw power but due to how the formula damage works, Chicken Knife is arguable the best weapon, not including new weapons from the GBA version), so consider whether or not running away from battles.
