/srs ahead
This is a frontliner build, meaning you'll be dealing with hordes of chaff and elites. You may struggle with ranged enemies, but depending on which ranged option you pick, it may be more difficult or easier. I run Locke Mk III Spearhead Boltgun for on-demand massive AOE stagger of elites and specials, paired with Blades of Faith allows you to be pretty versatile at any range.
Alternative way you could go about it, if you want to use grenades, you can swap the Boltgun for a Laspistol, Autogun or an Infantry Lasgun, up to your preference.
CC attack loop for chaff: ( PA (Push-attack) > Heavy > Heavy )
Alterative loop: Heavy > ( Heavy > Light )
Alternative-Alternative loop: Light mash
Anti-Elite/Boss attack loop: ( Light > Heavy (Repeat) )
Inexorable Judgement Is taken over other keystones for additional agility and passive unconditional damage boost (unlike Blazing Piety, which benefits better from faster attacking weapons; and Martyrdom which requires you to be low HP for it's benefits - combined with this builds squishiness will lead to your team hating you for downing too much. Additionally Martyrdom works the best with Shroudfield after the class rework, so it doesn't even fit the Knightly theme here)
Upsides: Good agility-power ratio. Good CC. Great elite-killer. Reliable and consistent performance.
Downsides: Skill based. Relic blade as a weapon can sometimes be janky to use.
