Floral Knight

The Floral Knights, also known as Rose Knights, are formidable combatants who harness the power of chromatic magic, drawing it from the remnants of wild magic and forging unbreakable bonds with their weapons. In the heat of battle, Rose Knights clad themselves in resilient armor, utilizing their weapon bonds to safeguard both themselves and their comrades. Their relationship with their equipment runs deep, as they possess the unique ability to establish enduring connections by infusing their gear with "Petals," thereby enhancing their potency. These Thorns are imbued with adaptive magic, endowing Rose Knights with exceptional damage versatility, making them formidable fighters on the battlefield.

You accumulate Petal Sigils by dealing damage with a weapon attack.
