Overview
Death Knight is a Epic-tier sword skin on Astroworld MC, one of 51 Epic skins and 83 sword skins in the cosmetic pool. Like every weapon skin on the server it is a pure cosmetic: equipping Death Knight restyles the look of your sword without changing its damage, durability, attack speed, or any other stat.
How to Obtain
Death Knight is obtained from the Cosmic Crate, which is opened with a Cosmic Key. Cosmic Keys come from daily and monthly login rewards, higher-tier pouches, and events - there is no way to buy a skin directly for in-game money or to craft one. The Cosmic Crate also carries a 3% bonus chance to roll an Eye of Astroworld on opening, so grinding skins doubles as progress toward the Void Sovereign endgame.
About Epic Skins
Epic is the second skin tier, a clear step up in visual flair from Rare while still appearing more often than Legendary and Cosmic pulls. Epic skins lean into bolder, more stylised designs, but like every cosmetic on the server they change only how your weapon looks - never its stats.
There are 51 epic skins in the pool in total. Browse them all, and skins of every other rarity, on the Skins index.
Sword Skins & the Sword Slot
Sword skins apply to the sword slot. In vanilla Minecraft 1.21 the sword is the dedicated melee weapon: it has the best attack speed of any weapon, and a fully-charged swing performs a sweeping attack that hits multiple mobs at once. Most weapon skins on Astroworld are swords, so the sword pool is the deepest of the three.
Death Knight is one of 83 sword skins on Astroworld. Because skins are cosmetic, you can wear a sword skin on top of any enchanted sword - see the Enchants database for the custom enchants that actually change how your weapon performs.
