Ok there is a lot of hype in lady knight being such a good tank. But what makes her such a good tank? She cant use a shield a shield like a swordsman and i think defense is capped at 1000 without armor rite? Her vit is only a bit higher then swords. SO it lady knight overrated in being a tanker? Please give feed back or info that i am missing. Thx

You're pretty much wrong on all accounts: she can use a shield, base def is over 1k, and higher base stats on everything else. LK is a direct upgrade to a sword, it's simply better.

I believe base defense goes beyond 1k, but 1k is simply the max shown on the website.
The main question is whether or not the Lady Knight gets Flamesword Resistance. I heard conflicting reports. That said, when everyone you're fighting against has switched to Lady Knights instead of Swordsmen, you probably won't be running into flamesword anymore, anyways (and no, that is NOT your cue to use a swordsman instead of a lady knight so you can flamesword all those Lady Knights, since Light Slash is better than Flamesword even against enemy swordsmen and enemy lady knights as far as I know).

She has a little, diddy, girly shield, of course.

LK holds the sword 2H style and if you rotate the view around, you see the shield attached to one of her arms as she holds the sword.
She doesn't have flame sword resist. Edit: or maybe do. She seems to get low dmg by flame sword.
Her def is insane, magic def as well higher than swordman's.

The lady knight is better than the spartan in defense, but overall, the spartan is better. He can also hold a shield, as well as use a spear, and his skill affects more targets than light slash.

lady knight is the best in def.... also her skill can hit the second row ^_^:femalehero:
LK is C grade, spartan is B grade. That means they are on different level of power. We can't say which is better because we can't get spartan yet, but once it's out, I'm pretty sure spartan will be better than LK in any way, at least it should. Update in december is comming (source: interview), so we will check this out soon ^_^

Well, spartans are known to have a good offense, and they do have that nasty debuff move. They also have a shield, and we know their defense is good. I'd be surprised if they withstood more than a lady knight, though. We know a Spartan is offensively better, but while he's no slouch at withstanding damage, the chances of a Lady Knight not being better than a Spartan at soaking up damage at the very least seems slim to me.

You can really compare these two merc as their are different class. Also no point to really compare them as it is not like you are limited to only have 1 or the other merc. You can have both merc and i am sure everyone will be using both in their formation.
back to the main topic, yes LK is better then sword men in every way you can think of except the cost of upgrade. There is really no point keep your sword once you get LK excpet to free him at lv 100 for a chance to get the B merc.

The top korean players seem to disagree.

Ok i read the link you gave me plus the link that was posted on there for the korean site. Sorry i cant read Korean but from the pic i didnt see a swordmen in the formation sorry if i missed it. But there seem to be mostly axe main mix with spear and spartan. But how does this prove me wrong? They might not use LK because of spartan but they sure are not using swordmen either. Sory if i miss your point.

real fast on comparison between spartan and lk ... why be concerened with who is better? .. just get both ( when we can )
Apples and oranges.
Every single korean tournament finalist had a spartan in their formation. Only two out of the eight finalists had a Lady Knight. I think that says a lot about the spartan vs lady knight.

my maxed deadly strike with lvl 80 upgrade does like 5k-5.6k for some1 who wanted to know the max damage.
@topic leave the spartan vs lk debates already.....why do people always want to know what/which and how they can be the best?
some people just dont realise that its a combination of stuff which makes certain things 'best'....for example if my swordie is allowed to dstrike it can well take away about 1/2 hp of an lk or more...how do you say which is better >.<
