Chevalier

The Chevalier is the original playable class in DaggerQuest: a balanced melee warrior who fights with a sword and shield. The Chevalier excels in close-quarters combat and offers a toolkit of active abilities and passive combat prayers, making it the most versatile class currently available.

Starting Equipment

The Chevalier begins with a Simple Sword and a Simple Shield, providing both offense and defense from the very start. Additional default gear includes a basic head piece and leg armor.

Basic Attack

The Chevalier swings a piercing downward slash that cuts through every enemy in its path. This makes it especially effective when enemies are lined up, allowing you to damage multiple targets with a single swing.

Active Abilities

The active abilities a Chevalier carries, in their default places on the bar:

Ability Key Description
Ground Slam Q A powerful slam that hits every enemy in a wide ring around you
Kick W A quick kick with a short reach and a low cooldown
War Cry E Raises slash, smash and stab damage alike for a time
Heroic Strike R A devastating strike that catches everything close around you

Combat Prayers

Prayers are passive toggle abilities bound to A, S, D, and F, each providing a constant stat bonus while enabled:

Prayer Key Effect
Iron Skin A Raises armor
Fortitude S Raises maximum health
Phantom Strike D Raises slash damage
Crippling Blow F Raises smash damage

Strategy

  • Use War Cry before engaging tough enemies to maximize your damage output.
  • Ground Slam is the ability to reach for once goblins have gathered.
  • Toggle Iron Skin for survivability or Phantom Strike for faster kills.
  • Save Heroic Strike for high-health targets like the Goblin Warlock.
  • The basic slash attack's piercing property rewards good positioning; line enemies up for maximum efficiency.
