The Death Knight[]
Marching Death[]
A terrifying warrior that strikes fear into enemies at close range combat, capable of draining the very life from their foes, delivering sustained damage to those nearby. The signature ability of the Death Knight is Grasp of the Grave, able to pull enemies into melee range, but also able to aid allies by pulling them out of harm's way. Death Knights are high damage Plate wearing dreadnaughts but have no mobility - a missed Grasp can spell doom for a Death Knight when faced with a skilled Mage.
As undead, Death Knights do not have mana and instead rely on absorbing soul essence from fallen enemies to regenerate their power. They also cannot be healed by holy magic and must rely on potions and bandages, or health shrines to recover their HP pools. They cannot be revived by the Divine Guidance passive Resurrection.
