Power: 5 | Speed: 6 | Rarity: Rare | World Region: The Wave Battlement
Origins: Wave Knight serves the Wave Battlement with the formal discipline of a knightly order and the practical experience of something that has trained exclusively in moving water. Its 5/6 stat line has the Speed advantage of all mounted combat and the additional force multiplier of riding a breaking wave – which means the impact number is consistently higher than a 5 Power card should produce.
Finishing Move: Breaking Wave: Charges at full Speed on the crest of a breaking wave – arrives at 5 Power on a 6 Speed platform that adds wave force to the contact. The target takes the knight and the wave.
Synergy & Rivalry: Mobile defence in Water Rares. Fire's Blaze Rider is its direct mounted-combat rival – two fast cavalry-style Rare cards from opposite affinities who have been racing toward opposite-affinity targets for their entire careers, and neither one will admit which charge technique is structurally superior.
