The qualities and defects of the knights of the Zodiac SS LOJ
Before we start our tier list Saint Seiya: Legend of Justice of the best knights, it is necessary to make a point about the functioning of the game's fights. There are about a hundred different knights. Each one has unique skills, which can be used to inflict damage on the enemy, protect team members or heal team members.

Indeed, the knights of the Zodiac also have a rarity level, a type and an element. Similar to what we are used to see in games like Pokémon, each element has a strength and a weakness.
Water beats Fire, which beats Wind, which beats Earth, which beats Water. In addition to this cycle, the elements Light and Darkness respectively inflict more damage on each other, but have no bonus or malus against the other elements. You must therefore take into account the synergies of the characters when composing your team, in order to unlock bonuses:
- Three knights of the same element: +10% HP and ATK ;
- Three knights of the same element and two of another: +15% HP and ATK ;
- Four knights of the same element: +20% HP and +15% ATK ;
- Five knights of different elements: +20% HP and ATK ;
- Five knights of the same element: +25% HP and ATK.
