DISCLAIMER: This guide is more for F2P players with limited BTs. Going forward, I will give insights on why the unit is good or bad, so that you can make your own informed decision. Due to everyone’s own unique line-up, BT count, situation, new units and constantly changing meta, the choice is yours to make!
- All the UR/SSR+s are strong in their own way. It’s a matter of which one you have to prioritize as an F2P
- UR/SSR+ pull Guide here!
- As an F2P, it is too expensive to Awaken Passive 2 any SSR+/UR, I would recommend you pull multiple good SSR+/UR units than to AWK2 one SSR+/UR. However, it depends on your situation and if a particular unit is very good, so if you want to please go ahead. Do note you can continue doing so on the comeback banner if not enough BT (although not as ideal).

SO WHY UR Drive Knight?
Pros:
- Very strong DPS for a ‘tank’. +HP units always have an added advantage, because +HP gear adds both health and damage.
- One-man show unit
- Great for all modes of content (PVE/PVP/PVB)
- Works fine in all cores, does not have to stick to a specific core playstyle
- KS and A2 is not super required, although having them will be ideal
Cons:
- He is a Hi-Tech slot, so when combined with UR CE, the line-up might be quite limiting
- Not much con personally. Maybe the only con is battles will drag on for much longer, especially when there are 2 DKs fighting it out
FINAL THOUGHTS
One word – Yes. Just pull. He’s that good. Good for PVE, good for PVP, good for bossing, good for HxM, etc.
I would like to point out that for PVE/bossing content, if your DK is not dying, then he won’t be reviving non-stop and dishing out the extra ult follow-ups. So for strong players, the damage may not be as high as a pure DPS like MG, but he is definitely useful for casuals and weaker players, as his multiple revives and follow-ups might make the difference between winning and losing.
WHAT ABOUT KS?
Yes if you can afford it.
