You must be careful as there are cases where they can leave the Round Table or even turn against you depending on the choices you make in the game. In battle, your heroes could be injured or even be killed permanently so it is important to pay attention to your enemies' strengths and weaknesses and make use of your team's skills and abilities to attack accordingly, make use of the terrain and traps within the combat area to your advantage.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Planning ahead of time before missions is crucial, as the composition of your group can change the outcome of the encounters you will face. Make sure you double check your hero composition as well as the skills, traits, and gear before moving forward on a mission.

It is also recommended to create a team that has a diverse class instead of focusing on one class. For example a Defender would maybe need a Champion for some DPS assistance or even a Marksman for some ranged cover. You can also include a Sage that can buff your team, it all depends on the skills you have set and the enemies you'll be facing, remember that teamwork is essential.

Classes

There are a total of six available classes in King Arthur: Knight's Tale:

• Defender - Tank hero that specializes in one-handed blades and wears heavy armor.
• Champion - Main DPS dealer that specializes in two-handed weapons and wears heavy armor.
• Marksman - Ranged hero, heavily relies on bows and light armor. They are the most agile ones but can be easily killed and ineffective in melee combat.
• Vanguard - Stealth class specializing in melee burst damage and trap deployment. Uses one-handed weapons and wears medium armor.
• Arcanist - A glass cannon Spellcaster that deals damage at range using a Staff weapon. Can cast spells that control and debuff enemies. Wears light armor.
• Sage - A spellcaster specializing in frost-based magic and provides excellent utility for the team, be it casting extra armor, HP, or even mental resistance in the team. 

All heroes have different skill sets and a hero's class determines their base stats and their ability to wear certain types of items.

Camelot, your Main Hub

King Arthur: Knight's Tale also incorporates base management elements within the game to provide an extra layer of gameplay besides from the adventures and turn-based tactical combat.
