Jedi Knight

"Jedi Knights are the order’s protectors and defenders. Knights charge into the fray with Force Leap, employing unmatched lightsaber prowess and a tactical use of the Force.

Primary Attribute: Strength. Strength increases the damage and critical chances of the Knight’s Melee and Force powers. This remains so for both the Sentinel and the Guardian Advanced Classes.

Advanced Classes (Available at level 10): Jedi Sentinel and Jedi Guardian

Jedi Sentinel (Damage): Jedi Sentinels are highly disciplined masters of lightsaber combat. Sentinels fight with two lightsabers and can build Focus quickly with Zealous Strike, unlocking the use of more powerful moves like Slash and Cauterize.

Jedi Guardian (Damage, Defense): Jedi Guardians are stalwart defenders equipped with a single lightsaber and heavy armor. A Guardian can rend armor with Sundering Strike, protect allies with Guardian Leap, and those specialized in Defense act as lodestars and protectors on the battlefield."
