Champion is a Class in King Arthur: Knight's Tale. Champions excel at dealing damage in melee range with Two-Handed Weapons, as well as staying alive thanks to the Heavy Armour that they wear.

Champion Class Build Guide
How To Build A Champion - In this King: Arthur: Knight’s Tale Champion Class Guide, we are going to show you how to build your Champion from the ground up in terms of the active and passive skills you should acquire, the Heroes you need to create a reliable party, and the gear you have to equip. If you are looking for a Champion who effortlessly slays enemies with their Two-Handed Weapons while taking enough damage to serve as a secondary tank, then this King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Champion Class Guide is for you!
Unlike Arcanists, the Champion does not have many Skills to control the battlefield. Instead, their main focus is to deal raw damage to put down enemies as soon as possible. They excel in close-range combat, so much so that they can brutally kill multiple targets with a single swing of their Weapon. This is due to the powerful group Skills they have. But they can also execute Power Attack, allowing them to deal more than 100% Weapon Damage to lethally harm individual bosses. In terms of Status Effects, you can make Heroes like Sir Balan or Sir Kay inflict Bleeding to deal additional Damage over Time (DoT), especially against foes with high Vitality.
As a Champion, your goal is to boost Weapon Damage, Armour Breaking, and Physical Debuff Resist. Doing so maximizes their melee damage while improving the chances of breaking most, if not all of the enemy’s Armour. It also reduces the efficacy of physical status effects such as Vulnerability and Weakness. This is important to keep them on their feet and to fulfill their role as a secondary meat shield to aid the Defender.
When it comes to party composition, having at least 1 Defender is essential to protect everyone even if there’s a Champion since they are not as durable as the main tank in the game. You can then include another Champion and a ranged Hero such as an Arcanist or Marksman to employ crowd control techniques or pick off enemies one by one, respectively. Because of how strong these damage dealers are, it will take you less time to complete one encounter after the next.

Champion Notes & Tips
- Use Overwatch to allow enemies to come to your Champion when possible to prevent them from taking damage. Position them just outside the range you think an enemy can move and attack to be safe.
- Some Champions excel at single target DPS (Sir Balan), while others are good at AoE (Sir Kay). Pay attention to which yours is, and play to its strengths.
