Added DiffLines:
* EarlyGameHell: The start of the game can be rather difficult. With most of your buildings not fully opened, a small selection of knights meaning any of them being stuck at the hospice to heal vitality or at the cathedral to recover from injury can severely affect your roster. Not having the merchant unlocked also means you have no way to restock potions . Add that your knights have way smaller armor values and thus can more easily lose all their armor to a few attacks. It makes the first handful of missions feel a lot more difficult than the rest of the game. The game also gets easier when you unlock the enchanter and can begin getting relics of your choice - rings of Teleportation in particular can greatly improve your slow ponderous champions to be where they need to be to deliver their awesome damage.
Added DiffLines:
* MightyGlacier: Champions like Sir Kay or Sir Banan are high damage knights using two handed weapons. In damage output they are near unparalleled and can one shot most enemies - sometimes even bosses if they use their ''power attack'' skill. Their ''Cleave'' skill meanwhile devastates enemies who gang up on them, and if any enemy survives their ludicrous damage output, almost all their abilities inflict bleed. On top of that Champions wear heavy armor so they shrug off damage easily. The downside is they are ''slow''. Their skills all cost 4 or 5 APs to use, and they get very few skills that give them free movement AP. So champions cross the battlefield slowly, and are easily outflanked, and can rarely attack more than once. Later in the game you can mitigate their slowness using equipment that gives movement bonuses, or rings of teleportation.
Added DiffLines:
* StoneWall: The Defender class, like Sir Mordred, are the game's tank. Using one handed weapons and shields, they are heavily armored, deal medium to low damage, but have many skills to improve their armor, and several of their gear lets them force enemies to attack them. They have a charge skill that lets them get a sudden burst of speed and knock an enemy down (especially when upgraded, where Defenders can charge insane distances). Many of their ability let them debuff enemies, and the ''guard'' skill lets them enter overwatch for cheap with a damage boost. Sir Mordred has a variation of the class, eschewing some of the tanking skills but instead gaining hexes and powerful offensive magic to bolster his damage output.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a [[StrategyRPG tactical]] RolePlayingGame developed by ''Neocore Games''. Drawing heavy inspiration from their previous game ''VideoGame/KingArthurTheRolePlayingWargame''.
Sir Mordred gathered an army of monsters and miscreants, and marched on Camelot. Sacking the city. The dark knight and King Arthur met in combat. Mordred slew Arthur, the Once and Future King, but not before the King mortally wounded Mordred...
And that should've been the end of the story. But something went terribly wrong when the Lady of the Lake sent the dying Arthur to Avalon. The land is now cursed, with the dead rising, unable to die. And Arthur's own whereabouts are unknown, yet this darkness seems inexorably linked to him. In desperation, the Lady of the Lake turns to a most unlikely champion, the one man who once slew Arthur himself, and she raises Sir Mordred from the dead. Now the player, as Mordred, must assemble an order of knights, and free Camelot from its curse. And above all, kill Arthur, for good this time.
