-Abyssal Knights begin with melee-oriented skills, supplemented by Lugonu's invocations. You start with enough [[piety]] to use Bend Space, a [[blink]]-like ability with a tendency to send enemies further away. This can allow you to [[pillar dance]] or simply gain space to escape.

 You can also cause [[banishment]] of enemies, corruption of levels, and easy travel to and from the Abyss. These are mainly defensive abilities, and help an otherwise melee character out of tight spots. Of course, your Abyssal Knight is free to branch into ranged combat or magic should you wish to,. Lugonu does not have any stringent requirements, and awards piety for all kills, making it easy to play an Abyssal Knight in any way you like.

-Abyssal Knights start their game in the the Abyss with enough [[piety]] to use Lugonu's Depart the Abyss ability. There is no benefit to wandering the Abyss before leaving; there's nothing to be gained. That being said, the piety cost of this ability is somewhat high. There will always be an exit located near your starting area, but don't risk fighting anything found here at level 1.

-Serving Lugonu has the advantage of making the [[abyssal rune]] easier to acquire; the rune is generated earlier for Lugonu worshippers and they can escape the Abyss ''much'' more easily than anyone else. Getting ''banished'' to the Abyss is also not the death sentence for Abyssal Knights that it is for low-level characters of other backgrounds. Also, the corruption ability makes it easy to disrupt well-guarded vaults, making it very useful when coupled with [[Apportation]] for grabbing runes without actually fighting its guardians.
