Feathered
KnightMoon Glaivespassive, single target
Light Blade Knight's basic attacks bounce between enemies up to 3 / 5 / 7 times, with each bounce dealing 30% less damage than the previous one.
Role: a cheap ranged damage dealer taken as an early carry and as a Knight or Feathered synergy piece. Place her on the second row behind tanks — the tighter the enemy formation, the more bounces connect. She scales well with attack-boosting items and buffs, since the glaives come off her basic attacks.

Synergies
Synergy effect:
(3) Evasion of allied Feathered pieces +25%.
(6) Evasion of allied Feathered pieces +55%.
(9) Evasion of allied Feathered pieces +55%. After an evasion triggers, the piece becomes invisible for 1 second and creates a phantom of the attacker that lasts 7 seconds; the trigger interval is 5 seconds.
Illusion: inherits 100% of the original piece's attack and takes 100% damage, but does not inherit the skill, synergies, items or non-base stat bonuses (for example, the bonus attack from Avenge Knight's ability). Each piece can have only one illusion at a time. Illusions do not create illusions themselves.
How to play
Feathered is protection from physical damage through evasion: (3) is built from cheap heroes in the first rounds, and (6) in the mid game makes enemy fighters and shooters miss again and again. Evasion does not help against magic damage, so Feathered is complemented with other protection. (9) is a rare late build where every evasion also hides the piece and adds an illusion to the board.
Synergy effect:
(2) Allied Knights have a 25% chance every 3 seconds to gain a damage reduction shield lasting 4 seconds.
(4) Allied Knights have a 25% chance every 3 seconds to gain a damage reduction shield lasting 4 seconds.
(6) Allied Knights have a 25% chance every 3 seconds to gain a damage reduction shield lasting 4 seconds. Activating any damage reduction shield restores 300 health.
Class trait: Knights receive 1 Knight buff at the start of the battle.
Damage reduction shield: reduces physical and magical damage by 50%, but does not reduce pure damage.
The effects of multiple synergy tiers stack: each tier rolls its own chance to trigger the shield, but the shield's damage reduction limit does not change.
How to play
Knights are a reliable shield-based front line: (2) already gives them a chance to keep gaining a shield that halves physical and magical damage, and with (4) and (6) the chances stack, so shields are up almost constantly; at (6) every shield also heals. The class assembles early thanks to cheap heroes, while the expensive Knights close the higher thresholds in the mid and late game. Knights are vulnerable to pure damage, but against physical and magical damage they are one of the most durable front lines.
Lore
hero story
I
Yn was staring intently at the bush, where a snow-white sharp-toothed tiger was fighting with a black-backed jackal.
Other girls of her age would try everything to get away, but Yn was not afraid at all.
Suffering from the claws of the tiger, the skinny jackal was about to lose the battle due to exhaustion.
Yn couldn't bear to watch, but she knew she shouldn't interfere with the forest rules.
But just stopping the fight probably wouldn't cause any bad consequences, she thought.
A long roar broke the silence of the forest—she imitated the growl of a bear. With a greater threat looming, the two beasts went away.
The next day she found a brood of tiger cubs in a cave near the bush. All but one were dead.
Black-backed jackals were one of the most cunning beasts in the forest. Perhaps it had raided the tiger's lair.
The dying cub suddenly opened its eyes and stared at Yn.
She took it back to her clan and raised it.
She knew she had done wrong.
II
Yn refused the human prince's courtship.
On the top of the Feathered Polis, the cold wind blew on their faces. She calmly told him that the longevity gap between humans and the Feathered was too large, and the future he wanted would never come.
She knew the prince left the Feathered Polis with unwillingness and frustration, but they had no choice.
Yn had saved the prince in the forest and learned that he was a human prince under the protection of Divinity. He told her about his travels and she showed him around Feathered Polis. Soon the two became close.
Her mind told her that this pleasure was short-lived. As the leader of the Feathered, she had more important things to do... But she just couldn't make up her mind.
She went to Whisper Seer for help and shared her worries. In the Seer's prophecy, her future with that human prince didn't look promising.
So she refused the human directly. But she couldn't forget his figure when he left alone. Somehow she had a bad feeling... […]
III
She is the Lightblade Knight, the watchman of moonlight, and the leader of the Feathered Moonlight Knights.
She was no longer the young girl who made rash decisions based on her emotions.
She could make a better decision when she had to choose between sense and sensibility.
But why did it turn out badly even when she made the right choice?
Demon's fire engulfed her home, turning everything into ashes. She could hardly recognize the figure in the firelight until the human prince, who had become a demon, came up to her with his servants and, with a ferocious grin.
Intimate friends turned against each other. The broken friendship could never be restored due to their different positions.
After the bitter battle, Yn felt painfully sad and confused even though she had repelled the enemy. She was supposed to protect the forest cherished by the Feathered, but she had made it suffer a lot.
What did she do wrong?
But it wouldn't hold her back forever. She knew there was no point wailing about the tragedy. She was determined to wipe out all the demons so they could never again threaten the Feathered home.
