Dark Knight changes: AOE TBN!

The new DRK setup looks fantastic!

AOE TBN! Amazing! New skills look amazing. Blood looks like the new main resource as it's generated SO fast now, secondary part of the gauge is like some Shadow resource, maybe MP is no longer needed for DRK?

We currently can't tell how or even if MP will still play a role in DRK's gameplay since that was not shown in the video, but the following is what I could extrapolate.

13:22 - Grit.

13:24 - New AoE ability. Sure looks a lot like an AoE TBN.

13:26 - Plunge and then Unleash.

13:30 - New AoE attack that is a gauge builder. Provided 20 Blood in the video.

13:32 - New single target or line AoE attack (maybe a reworked Dark Passenger?) that triggers the countdown on the "helmet" part of the gauge, starting at 30 and ticking down 1 per second.

13:34 - Blood Weapon is still around and still provides Blood per hit, 10 blood per hit during the Soul Eater combo.

13:44 - New "magical burst" looking ability. It adds an additional 30s to the gauge timer. Animation/effects sort of reminds me of Power Slash (since no enmity combos anymore) so maybe it is a reworked Power Slash that has become a non-combo ability. Also if it is a reworked Power Slash, the animation actually has you slash with the sword.

13:48 - You summon your "inner shadow" to fight with you. Costs 50 Blood and starts an additional timer to display how long the shadow lasts, 25s. Based on the Blood cost, I kind of suspect this to be DRK's "burst period" ability and it could replace Delirium. No idea if the abilities the shadow uses is prescripted or if you have some control over it.

Other abilities that make an appearance while fighting with your shadow: Abyssal Drain, Quietus (still costs 50 Blood), Blood Spiller (didn't cost any Blood), Carve and Spit. Also of note is something that looks like Blood Price (14:00) but it is hard to see since it is visually blocked by the ability your shadow uses.

Our stand, Back in Black, will finish them!

They better bring back Scourge! Or at least the animation/sound

DRKs new timer is Dark Side.
Darkside is extended by use of the 2 new moves "X of Darkness"
X of Darkness is used when you have "Dark Arts" effect up, which is on the timer face.
You gain Dark Arts when the blackest night breaks.

Honestly still want HW DRK back. Just add QoL to HW DRK, not this new BS. All they did was add QoL to SB DRK, and remove its clunkiness.
Go back to HW, remove its clunkiness, and i'd love it again.

In the bench, I noticed for the blackest night, you ran over to an ally and the effect was extended to you and the person your covering. Wonder if that was for show or can actually work that way now which would be awesome.
