The Magic Knight is one of the Adept Archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio. It is slightly improved from the basic Knight with stronger magic skills to protect and heal your party. It is weak to Electric damage, but strong against Slash damage.

The Magic Knight is a part of the Knight Lineage and investing in it will allow you to unlock its Elite forms: the Paladin or the Dark Knight. The Magic Knight Archetype is a fairly easy to use class with a lot of flexibility to act as a healer and a protector, while still doing some damage.
