===== Special ability curse =====
== Special Abilities ==
Black and Dread Knights' curse ability behaves slightly different from the [[Curse]] spell as it is not considered [[School of Fire Magic|fire school]] spell. This is due to a fact that the ability is not affected by [[Fiery Fields]] [[terrain]], and creatures with immunity to fire magic (e.g. [[Fire Elemental]]s) are not affected by it. However, the ability is affected by the [[Magic Plains]].
===== Special Ability: Curse =====
Black and Dread Knights have a 25% chance to curse their target stack for 3 rounds at advanced level. This ability uses the {{Sn|Curse}} spell. However, [[Fiery Fields]] [[terrain]] does not affect creature spells. The ability is affected by the [[Magic Plains]].


===== Special ability death blow =====
===== Special Ability: Death Blow =====
Dread Knights' special ability death blow gives them 20% chance of dealing double base damage when attacking a creature stack. The game information states that Dread Knights would deal double damage when the death blow occurs, but that is not technically correct as it only doubles the base damage. In other words, bonuses from [[Offense]], [[Luck]] or attack-defense difference are not doubled. See [[Damage|damage calculation]] for more specific information about the matter.

{{Fanopinion|
The Dread Knights are considered to be the best level 6 unit, alongside the [[Naga and Naga Queen|Naga Queens]]. They also have the highest attack, defense and health for a level 6 unit, accompanied by the largest damage range and max damage (together with the [[Naga Queen|Naga Queens]] who have a fixed damage value).

The Dread Knights are considered to be the best level 6 unit, alongside the Naga Queens. They also have the highest attack, defense and health for a level 6 unit, accompanied by the largest damage range and max damage (together with the Naga Queens who have a fixed damage value). However, the weaknesses of the Bone and Ghost Dragons compensates for their strength.

They should be used as a powerful striking force, since they will both deal much damage to the enemy and also resist attacks pretty well.

In one-on-one combat with no stats bonus, a Dread Knight defeats a Naga Queen only if their Death Blow triggers.
