Thunder Breakers can summon the spirit of Lightning, Fulgar to aid them in battle. With thier Sprite Summon they can use lightning to do extra damage along with their physical damage.

Starting Out

So you've decided to volunteer for the Knights of Cygnus eh? Think you got what it takes? Well, before you can be a Knight, you've got to start from the bottom and work your way there. All Cygnus Knights start as a Noblesse, the Knights' very own version of the Beginner. But don't worry, you won't be one for long. Just follow the Knights' training, and you'll be up to level 10 in no time, and ready to pick your class.
