Review
- Recommended for Death teams - Excellent Awakening Skill with CT Reduction - Instant Death Success Rate Boost and Effect Resist Reduction are also useful - Can also serve as a tank with Taunt + Damage Immunity

A Tank Recommended for Death Teams

He has a passive that boosts all allies' Instant Death Success Rate and reduces all enemies' Effect Resist, making him a hero specialized in Instant Death. He also has Taunt combined with Damage Immunity and a Barrier, making him a tankier Defense-type hero even among Death-focused heroes.

Especially Strong in Guild War

Since many of his effects target 3 enemies, he's generally suited for Guild War. His Awakening Skill grants CT Reduction to all allies, making him excellent at raising the uptime of Instant Death-inflicting skills.

Shoud Knox Be Awakened?

Awakening Recommended for Guild War Use

Awakening adds another skill that inflicts Instant Death and lets him grant CT Reduction to all allies. This is extremely useful when running a Death team in Guild War, so if you're using him there, it's recommended to awaken him.

How to Awaken

①Max All Skill Enhancements

Requirements for Awakening

• Fully enhance all skills

You must meet enhancing skills for any character you wish to Awaken.

② Complete All Fragment Restoration Missions

Navigate to Upgrade > Awaken to enable the Fragment Restoration missions. Complete all 5 missions to unlock Awakening. If you haven't enabled them, they won't count as completed even if the conditions are met, so be sure to enable them first.

Tips!	You can view a Memory Story upon completing each mission. Note that Fragment missions do not need to be completed when Awakening a second copy of the same character.

Up to 2 Characters Can Progress Simultaneously

Fragment Restoration missions can be progressed for up to 2 characters at a time. If you want to start Fragment missions for a different character, you'll need to pause one of the active missions and switch to the new one.

Tips!	Progress is saved even if you pause.

Instant Completion Available with Rubies

Fragment Restoration missions can also be instantly completed using Rubies. The number of Rubies required varies depending on the mission content and remaining count. Since these can be completed over time without Rubies, spending them here is not recommended.

③ Use Awakening Stones to Awaken

Once all requirements from ① and ② are met, you can Awaken a character. Awakening requires a different number of "Awakening Stones" depending on the character's rarity.

Best Build for Knox (Awakening)

Best Equipment Sets

Set	Reason It's Best
Spellweaver	- Effective if you want to raise Instant Death Application Rate
Gatekeeper	- Boosts durability so he can stay on the field longer - Best for durability builds
Paladin	- Raises Barrier Durability and healing amount - Since it also references HP on attack, it raises offense and defense in a balanced way

For Knox, who suits Death teams, the best equipment depends on whether you want to specialize in Instant Death or lean toward durability. Spellweaver is best if you want to specialize in Instant Death, Gatekeeper if you want him to stay on the field longer, and Paladin if you want to raise his Barrier Durability and healing amount.

Spellweaver Set (Instant Death Specialist)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Spellweaver	[Weapon] - HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate [Armor] - Block Rate	- Speed - Block Rate - HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate - Defense (%)

If you want to specialize in inflicting Instant Death, use Spellweaver to raise Effect Hit Rate and your success rate. Raising HP also raises Barrier Durability, so it's best to raise durability with HP or Block Rate options.

Gatekeeper Set (Durability Type)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Gatekeeper	[Weapon] - HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate [Armor] - Block Rate - HP (%)	- Speed - Block Rate - HP (%) - Defense (%) - Effect Hit Rate

When using Gatekeeper, it's best to focus on raising Block Rate and HP. If you also want to keep his Instant Death Application Rate up, adding an Effect Hit Rate option is a good idea too.

Paladin Set (Balanced Type)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Paladin	[Weapon] - HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate [Armor] - Block Rate (%) - HP (%)	- Speed - HP (%) - Block Rate - Defense (%) - Effect Hit Rate

If you want to raise the Barrier Durability from his Passive Skill or the Continuous Healing Amount from Skill 2, raising HP with Paladin is also an option. That said, raising HP through Spellweaver or Gatekeeper options is usually more effective.

Best Rings for Knox (Awakening)

Legendary Rings

Best Rings to Equip
Ring of Resurrection	Ring of Immortality	Ring of Authority

Knox is often built for higher durability, so the Ring of Resurrection is recommended. The Ring of Authority is a secondary option, but the Ring of Resurrection is the go-to recommendation.

Knox (Awakening) - Enhancement & Transcendence

Knox (Awakening) Enhancement Priority Quick Reference Table

Potential	Transcendence	Skill Enhancement	Awakening

For Potential and Transcendence, it is recommended to prioritize heroes at the top of the Best Hero Tier List who are versatile across all content. Since resources for Skill Enhancement are limited, choose the order of enhancement by comparing them with heroes of similar priority.

Knox (Awakening) - Recommended Hero Potentials

Potential	Priority/Remarks
Attack	：Enhancement Optional Low importance — only enhance this when you need that extra bit of a stat boost.
Defense	：Prioritize Enhancement Lower priority, but this stat still has a noticeable impact on win rate and scores.
HP	：Prioritize Enhancement Lower priority, but this stat still has a noticeable impact on win rate and scores.

To unlock a Legendary Hero's Potential, a total of 3,000 Heart's Fires and 180 corresponding Uncommon Rank Up Materials are required per stat.

Knox - Recommended Transcendence

Transcendence Level	Recommendation / Effect
Transcendence 2	：Powerful Effect Increases Defense by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] [All Enemies] Adds Effect: 34% Effect Resist Reduction [Always Active]
Transcendence 4	：Excellent Effect Increases Block Rate by 18%
Transcendence 6	：Powerful Effect Increases Defense by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] Adds Effect: Barrier equal to 39% of the caster’s Max HP when HP falls to 50% or lower. [Duration: 3 Turn(s)] [Once per Battle]
Transcendence 7-12	：Minimal Benefit Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%

At Transcendence 2, he gains an effect that reduces Effect Resist, and at Transcendence 6, he gains an effect that generates a Barrier when his HP drops below half. Since Instant Death Application Rate directly decides wins and losses on Death teams, Transcendence 2 is well worth aiming for if you plan to use him. Transcendence 6 is better if you're using him in PvP.

Stage	Effects
T1	Increases Defense by 12%
T2	Increases Defense by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] [All Enemies] Adds Effect: 34% Effect Resist Reduction [Always Active]
T3	Increases HP by 18%
T4	Increases Block Rate by 18%
T5	Increases Defense by 12%
T6	Increases Defense by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] Adds Effect: Barrier equal to 39% of the caster’s Max HP when HP falls to 50% or lower. [Duration: 3 Turn(s)] [Once per Battle]
T7	Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%
T8	Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%
T9	Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%
T10	Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%
T11	Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%
T12	Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%

Skill Additional Effects from Transcendence (Before Awakening)

Stage	Effect

Transcendence 6	[Passive Skill] Adds Effect: Barrier equal to 39% of the caster’s Max HP when HP falls to 50% or lower. [Duration: 3 Turn(s)] [Once per Battle]

Awakening assumes Transcendence 6, and the skill enhancement effects from Awakening have already been applied. Stat bonuses are shared between pre-awakening and post-awakening.

Transcendence Guide

Knox - Recommeded Skill Enhancement

Skill	Priority/Effects
▲Awakening Skill	：Enhance if You Use It Adds Effect: Reduces skill cooldowns by 16s.

Skill Enhancement is required to Awaken him, so Skill Enhancement priority before Awakening is high. Awakening Skill Enhancement adds a CT Reduction effect for all allies, so once he's awakened, prioritize enhancing his Awakening Skill.

Recommended Skill Enhancement Before Awakening

Skill	Rating / Skill Enhancement Effect
▲Basic Attack (Pre-Awake)	：Fine Unenhanced Increases Damage: To 60% of Physical Attack plus 14% of the caster's Max HP.
▲Skill 1 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if Possible Increases Healing: Continuous Healing amount becomes 20% of the caster's HP.
▲Skill 2 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if You Use It Increases Chance: Death chance becomes 40%
▲Passive Skill (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if Possible Increases Effect: Barrier absorption becomes 45% of Max HP.

These priorities are based on using the Hero before Awakening. If you prioritize Awakening, max all skills without hesitation.
