If you’ve decided to tackle King Arthur: Knight’s Tale on Very Hard difficulty, you’re in for a brutal but rewarding challenge. This tactical RPG’s AI is exceptionally clever, making every decision—from Camelot’s upgrades to combat positioning—crucial for survival. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover the best builds, skills, morality choices, and strategies for every class to dominate on the hardest setting.

The Morality Chart: Choosing Your Path

Your morality choices influence everything—from available upgrades to hero loyalty. The four paths are:

• Rightful Old Faith: Balances healing and damage.
