Introduction
So you are interested in bringing your mount to WoE, aren’t you? You've come to the right place! I'll guide you through this journey of becoming the strongest knight you can be.
I'm Maru
and I've been playing RO for around 18 years now. During all these years, Knight has always been my favorite (to be honest, my only) job and I don't feel like myself if I'm not mounted (kappapride). And, since I'm mostly a PvP player since my childhood, I wanted to make a complete guide with all the things that I've learned along the years to help those who are just starting on PvP as a Knight, either as a Rune Knight for WoE SE or as a Lord Knight for WoE TE.
Keep in mind that this guide is NOT absolute truth and doesn't intend to be, it is my vision and experience as a WoE player. You can (and should) adapt and change things based on your needs, experiences and own tests. WoE is not as simple as black and white, there are many variants that will change from guild to guild, player to player and meta to meta.
War of Emperium: Second Edition!
WoE SE is my favorite WoE edition and the one I played the most in my life. I played as a DB RK mostly and I'll share some tips, ideas and builds that I've gathered over the years.
Dragon Breath Build
Dragon Breath is, by far, my favorite build. It is a simple still effective build with a fun playstyle, not very punishing for those who are beginning and still have an amazing learning curve. Due to it being simple, you can focus on what is happening on GvG, focus on learning more about the jobs and what they should do or even shotcall for your guild if you feel like doing so. Since you are a frontliner, you want to get as high as possible resists with enough after cast delay reduction to spam your main skill. Damage is not your priority and you should always focus on your main goal: keeping your enemy frontline away from your stack, acting like a wall between them.

Gameplay
As a DB RK your main goal is to stay on frontline and act as a wall between enemies and allies, not allowing enemies to pass through you. For this, you use Dragon Howling to immobilize them and try to snipe their squishy DPSes with Dragon Breath Water / Dragon Breath when Devotion drops.
Always try to play with your supports and be proactive. Don't wait for Pneumas and/or Wall of Fog (Blinding Mist) on your feet and move to where it is casted. Try to be as vocal as possible and communicate with your team, you are in frontline and can have a nice view of what is happening in the GvG. If you get Devotion you can go for a more offensive setup and act as a secondary DPS.
War of Emperium: Training Edition!
Even if I played pre-renewal WoE for some time, WoE TE is nothing close to it. Even if it uses transclasses, it is still a renewal WoE, using renewal formulas and mechanics. I played some TE on brazilian official server mainly as a status LK and was really fun. But, due to the changes we had and to be a smaller WoE when compared to the 40 vs 40 GvGs of officials, status LK is nowhere as good as it is in officials.
This being said, this is the first time playing I'm playing as CS LK. I am NOT experienced and I'm still learning it, so this section will be updated more often as I figure out and theorycraft stuff.
