Grail Knight is one of 4 Careers available to Markus Kruber.

It is purchased as a Premium Career, separate from Mercenary, Huntsman and Foot Knight.

Description

The Grail Knight is the pride of Bretonnia – a blessed warrior granted supernatural might by the mysterious Lady of the Lake. As all Bretonnian Knights, he never engages in ranged combat, instead favoring foes with the gift of close-quarters battle. Whether armed with his longsword or a trusty sword and shield, the Grail Knight is death to foul creatures wherever he encounters them.

Duties and Benisons

Duties are objectives that the party can complete to receive bonuses (referred to as Benisons in the game) that will last until the end of the mission. Duties are assigned at the start of the mission. By default, the party will receive 2 duties from of the pool of 5. Some talents can provide additional duties.

Every duty has a requirement and fixed bonus associated with it. For example, the Find Grimoires duty will always give Health Regen. Requirements on some duties scale with Difficulty, but the bonuses never do. Duty progress is shared, meaning actions of every team member contribute to it. Theoretically, the knight can have his comrades do all the work, and it would still count as having completed his duties.

Once the duty is complete, the bonus is applied to the whole party and displayed on the buff bar. Duties cannot be completed more than once per mission.

The only exception is the duty granted by the talent, Virtue of the Penitent, which gives a Potion of Strength and restarts upon completion.
