Based on the information revealed in the live stream, Blood Knight is set to have a specific set of abilities. These include:

Ravage: With this ability, the Blood Knight can throw a blood lance that impales the enemy.
Shadow’s Edge This is a two-pronged ability. For enemies in the melee range, the Blood Knight will stab the enemy with a dagger. For enemies that are farther away, the character will throw a dagger that can stab the enemy.
Abomination: This is a passive that activates automatically. After players have filled a bar, the Blood Knight will transform into a bigger monstrosity and have access to two basic abilities. The first one will allow the Blood Knight to slash at the enemy, while the other is a three-hit combo ending with an aerial strike that stuns the enemy.
Ultimate: Ultimate, like the Abomination, is a combo attack that stuns the enemy.

The Blood Knight is a melee-based class with multiple legendary essences that will allow players to modify the damage output of all their abilities in multiple ways.
