Melee DD — Dark Knight
Areuhat is a Dark Knight from San d'Oria who has fully embraced the philosophy of pure offense. Where other Dark Knights balance their aggression with some defensive magic or utility, Areuhat throws caution to the wind and stacks every offensive buff available. He is the definition of a glass cannon — maximum damage, minimum survivability.

Areuhat is for players who want raw damage and have the healing to support it. He stacks Berserk, Last Resort, Aggressor, and Blood Rage — all of which boost his offense while shredding his defense. This means he hits like a truck but goes down fast if enemies turn on him. Make sure you have a good healer trust (like Apururu or Yoran-Oran) and ideally a tank trust to keep enemies off him. When properly supported, Areuhat is one of the hardest-hitting melee trusts available. When unsupported, he is a liability.
