Disgaea 5 Class Guide #5: Armor Knight & Magic Knight

[@SinfulAkuma777]

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that even after two years later, your guide is still being helpful. Thank you for the hard work!

[@peanutfish94]

Armour Knights are my favourite class of all Disgaea so I'm happy you could give some pointers for them for Disgaea 5. I approve of your defencive setup cuz goddamn taking those girls down can be quite a hassle, especially lategame/endgame in Story mode.

[@dannyn6558]

The canon Disgaea story for the armour Knights is that; between Disgaea 4 and Disgaea D2 the Armour knight class popularity with male graduates fell and the female graduates increased. Which is why there are now more female armour knights than Male.

[@kvmairforce]

Even though NIS delayed Disgaea 5 on PC again... I will wait and watch videos like this in the meantime. Been a while since a class guide has been released, I enjoy these.

[@brnk2]

Thank you for these videos. I just got Disgaea 5 Complete and these really help. I'm on Episode 10 now. Edit 2: Final Episode!!

[@armandojaime4267]

I made an all-knight team, loving it so far

[@nathanrailsback9667]

It should be noted that Galahad's Shield also works based off of the user's DEF instead of ATK, making it hit surprisingly hard! I also like to give my Armor Knight the Enemy Lure evility, since she'll only be able to take the hits for 3 other characters. If most of the enemies target her in the first place, that limit doesn't come into play!

[@shulkkiro3848]

Thx for you're videos. They help me very much

[@VoxelStar]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it.

[@shulkkiro3848]

Voxel Star what's you're favourite class? :3

[@VoxelStar]

Good question. The Sage gets used the most because she's easily the most useful in the post game, but design wise? I think the Maid looks great and has really interesting mechanics. I actually use story and DLC characters mostly.

[@shulkkiro3848]

Voxel Star I like the twin dragon and the maid most. The sage is very overpowered an i use her too but she is way too strong. And her design is not so unique

[@kihro]

thief, Armor knight and magic knight are my favorite classes. I have like 5 or 6 magic Knights they are all sisters.

[@chrisg5219]

Hey this guide is great! I'm trying to learn this game and it's so much to learn that it's insane! Just wanted to add that you pronounced "noblesse" properly. However the expression is French so "oblige" would phonetically be pronounced like "obleej" The expression is a historical one in French of course, it means what it sounds like "the nobility obliges" or "the nobility is obliged" What does that mean though? Well it means that as a member of the nobility you have an obligation to the people you rule over and their interests, not just your own. Which is why the name is so appropriate! It's just one of my favorite historical expressions. Ik it's unlikely you see the comment but just know your work is appreciated!

[@rainingoogle4362]

Hehe I'll name my Armor Knight "Albedo" (Overlord anime) thanks for the class guides dood! I'm trying to decide between AK or MK and you really helped me out, keep up the good vids man. sub!

[@rainingoogle4362]

heheh nicely done, I like it 👍 I did the same, I tried to match my AK colour and the colour of Albed's Hermes Trismegistus armour from the anime

[@vDorgengoa]

Any unit that you make can be OP; but for damage a magic night will always out damage and armor knight because of the starting evility.

[@rainingoogle4362]

@@vDorgengoa Yeah I agree. I think that really goes without saying that any unit you make can be OP, though I have a different reason for trying to decide between them back then. AK compliments my LS coz of her defensive capabilities more than MK. I have MK and AK now.

[@vDorgengoa]

@@rainingoogle4362 Nice! TBH I love the AK more solely because of design. I am more than happy to share my badass design lol.... if you want to hear it.

[@rainingoogle4362]

@@vDorgengoa yes! I couldn't agree more! specially when AK is performing the hero shield haha I just can't skip that animation 😂 Yeah man go for it, I enjoy learning other people's badass design

[@Awildgamer]

Huh, lucky me, I just started watching your videos recently. Very informative

[@VoxelStar]

Thanks for tuning in! Got more Disgaea stuff planned as well as some other things too.

[@Hambs23]

I'm a bit thorn on Armor Knights. While they are very useful on Late Game even without any training due to how good her unique Evility is, and how you can give anyone massive ammounts of HP with Elixir Curry, using them in combat is not that interesting. They're very slow and the only good thing they can use is the Galahad Shield, which is a low ranged single target attack, limiting her options even more. Magic Knights on the other hand needs a lot of training and elemental resistances Innocent management. They are so good at dealing damage to basically any type of enemy and aren't bound to positioning or number of targets to do so. Her Star resistance is a bit more annoying to increase, but other than that they are a good addition to any team, even on a sword heavy one, as sword resistance is usually not a threat to her. They're pretty fun to use in my opinion.

[@vDorgengoa]

If you want to play that way. My Armored Knight blocks when she is attacked from the front or sides and fires on every enemy afterwards with her Gun (with a +2 range..... more if its a carnage one). At one point she was a healer with a Spear setup. Then she was a mage capable of blasting from 10 spaces away. Almost always my other character carries Body Replacement to up the blocks on my Knight. Keep in mind that nearly any unit can use any weapon, gain massive boosts to every parameter, and obtain every generic evility. (and magichange). My Armored Knight could solo every enemy except for Baal. (I don't think it's possible......).

[@tonydiblasio8025]

I wish the axe and spear worked like swords with the magic Knights

[@guilhermegaspar752]

Thanks for the vídeo and armor Knight, one of The worst enemys to have

[@armandojaime4267]

I miss the heavy knight, its my favorite generic class

[@BlackdragonTheShadow]

Let’s just say after seeing one of the Armor knights personalities I went for the lowest hanging fruit out there… an obvious reference to an anime

[@bazookaman1353]

My main characters are slightly above 400 lvl and my armor Knight is around 160. She still is useful. My healer is also around 160s and she also is.

[@diairairship2403]

How do you unlock all these evilties for use? For example, the "Attack Weakness" listed for the Magic Knight is the rank 6 evilty of the Dragon King/Ifrit. How do you acquire it for your Magic Knight? Does it become available to buy in the shop after you reach rank 6? I know that the unique evilties are acquired by mastering a specific class as a sub class, but no one seems to be talking about how to get the common ones :P

[@ziggylamb]

Gob bless this channel

[@pascalgagne221]

disgaea 5 magic knight unlock! i need the level of all need to get rank 3 of fighter and the mage to get it! i look on all net but i fond nothing!

[@arkadiuszjandylewski152]

Why should I have an armored knight when I have Red Magnus.

[@uknlogic2924]

Will you be do monsters as well or just the humanoid classes?

[@VoxelStar]

I'll be doing all he classes including monsters. Lots to get through but I'll do some monster classes soon.

[@uknlogic2924]

Voxel Star ok cool. Take your time man, the vids are great :D. Some info builds are really helpful even for some of us vets out there

[@peanutfish94]

Jacob Epstein Mhm, cuz even though I know my way around Disgaea, there's always interesting setups other people can recommend someone even to a veteran like myself

[@fanbois542]

How do i unlock these classes? They look super fun

[@chessnoob99]

Progress the story, once your at the right part the quest shop will grant you the use of them at the recruiter once you fulfill the requirements of the quest

[@Avanael]

Armor Knight design is kinda like Female Corrin from Fire emblem

[@mauricesteel4995]

The Tier Six looks exactly like Corrin save for the eyes.

[@spencerbowden2979]

Truly a broken class. Have a mage buff her def activate her ability and she will protect everyone.

[@brianlav1]

Seems like they greatly improved magic knight.

[@Kaefer1973]

@@brianlav1 Well in Disgaea 2 the Magic Knight was the most powerful magic using class by far (while using less sp than the weaker male Mage), I'm not sure if she's still as broken as she used to be.

[@brianlav1]

@@Kaefer1973 I mostly played Disgaea 1. I had Magic Knight in disgaea 1. I was so underwhelmed by the class I reincarnated her into a mage class.😒 I will have retry disgaea 2 and make a magic knight, now that I know they are so much better than previously.😁

[@Kaefer1973]

@@brianlav1 Yes, in Disgaea 1 she was the most useless human class (as weak as a thief but without steal bonus), in Disgaea 2 the most powerful, it equaled out I guess.

[@Anuwabu]

I agree they could have easily toned down her defensive power to at least have a range limit and not ridiculously teleport across the map to block attacks. Then on top of that she has an ability of absurd damage and puts her into defend. For each point they improve on they drop the ball on something else.

[@m.zul9221]

How do you unlock armor knight tho? I can't find this brawler

[@brunomatheus7413]

The brawler classes are either the Martial Artist or the Fight Mistress :D

[@m.zul9221]

Aheyyyyy thankss mate!

[@chessnoob99]

Ok, funny story (no one asked so idk why im still talking) I had a lot of shards and I decided to use them. (I never played a Disgaea game before so I got the DLC characters) I gave them to my characters then went to a stage to do some progress... used up all my def shards... and did not give them to my armor knight 😢😢😢😢

[@iShionSinX]

Im not sure you are aware of it, but by putting a link to your twitch channel at the description Google reduces the visibility of your KZbin channel within the website. Its sad but true, as both Google and Twich fight for ads venue from the very same companies.

[@VoxelStar]

If that's true I need to take a look into this. Thanks for letting me know.

[@lockedheartunlocked]

Plip!

[@BunPrince]

Oh I thought these videos were years old as most disgaea videos are

[@VoxelStar]

Nope, I'm still going! Thanks for watching

[@BunPrince]

Well they're very helpful being a newcomer to the disgaea series

[@jasonvernish7366]

Man they nerfed magic knights hard since disgaia 2 when they could cast a magic after attacking and buff/reduce element resists

[@Kaefer1973]

In Disgaea 2 they were just broken, far too powerful when compared to other magic users, so it seems fair to nerf them a little.

[@mattmilliken1510]

You pronounced "noblesse oblige" correct the first time. For anyone curious a quick translation would be "noble obligation" or "obligation of nobles/nobility" it is a bougie concept that the wealthy and powerful have are obliged to be generous and respectful to the lower classes. Whether any of the bourgeoisie actually follow this ideal I'll leave to your interpretation.
