Overview
The Gravedigger can place a dirt block shield, and then pressure the enemy from a distance with Darkness Blast and Dirty Dig as you get closer, and then wallop with a flurry of Dig Slashes.

Appearance
The Gravedigger has glowing wristbands, and has a glove on the right hand and a shoulderpad on the left shoulder which resembles a gravestone, and has a gravestone on the back of the chestplate. The front has a triangle design on it, and the helmet resembles a Viking Knight's helmet.

Specialties
The Gravedigger is a technical class that has three variants of neutral attack, similar to Santa, however it is changed by holding down the attack button rather than hitting a different button. Place a Dirt Block as a shield with Uproot, and attack enemies from afar with Darkness Blast or Dirty Dig to lay the pressure on them as you approach, and then start slashing away! If you're in trouble, then call down some meteors to get enemies away from you. Set up pitfall traps by digging holes in the ground for enemies to fall into.

Tips

 * The dirt block from Uproot can be pushed around, so you can move towards enemies while still blocking their projectiles.
 * You can bounce off of the meteors from Meteor Crash to evade attacks.
 * Darkness Blast passes through walls.
 * You can bounce off of weak projectiles with Shovel Drop, such as Wizard's Conjure Constellation.

Trivia

 * Gravedigger is based off of Shovel Knight, the main protagonist of his namesake game, Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope, created by Yacht Club Games.
 * Gravedigger takes inspiration from Shovel Knight's appearance in Rivals of Aether (Uproot), his appearance in Smash Bros. Ultimate (Dirty Dig), and his rival, Black Knight (Darkness Blast, Meteor Crash). Meteor Crash's animation is based off of Shovel Knight's victory animation, which plays when you defeat a boss.
 * Acul77 was the person that designed the armor.
