Edge Knight
⚔ Striker — Single TargetPrecision instrument. One target. One outcome.
Archetype: Single-target precision terminator
The Edge Knight is a precision instrument. Where the Essa Knight throws force like a hammer, you place it like a scalpel. The Precision Gauntlet channels more efficiently, runs cooler, and has no broadcast components. Your T1 Glow vials hit above their tier — that is your edge. Everyone else burns expensive vials to match what you get from the cheap ones.
Precision Gauntlets are a minority design. Most Gauntlet engineers optimize for output ceiling. Precision engineers optimize for floor. At Level 5, Efficient Burn makes a 25 gp T1 vial output like a T3. Empire Scan reads the Precision Gauntlet as lower tier than it actually performs.
Essa Interaction
Standard vial + Feedback Save system. Efficient Burn is the defining departure: T1 Glow outputs as if EP = PB at Level 5 (PB = +3). At Level 10, Finishing Protocol extends Efficient Burn to T2 Flare. At Level 18, Apex Calibration extends it to T1, T2, and T3.
