What is the Dark Crusader Class?

The Dark Crusader class is a secret starting class in Lords of the Fallen 2, specializing in close combat. It shares some similarities with the Hallowed Knight but sets itself apart with higher initial stats in Endurance, Vitality, and Radiance. This makes it an excellent choice for players who prefer a hybrid playstyle, combining both melee and spellcasting abilities that emphasize Strength and Radiance.
