* The Alverian Royal Guard in ''Webcomic/{{Castoff}}'' employs a number of these, partly because this setting doesn't believe in SquishyWizard. TheCaptain Zera Marcel is the Magic Knight we get to see most often, followed by his lieutenants, Sonja and Terran.

* ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'': According to AllThereInTheManual, all of the [[BigBadEnsemble Seven]] are all canonically "badass sorcerer-kings", skilled in the arts both martial and magical, and on top of that are capable of altering reality thanks to their Magus Keys. Mottom and Jagganoth lean the most heavy into this during actual combat: Mottom normally [[WordsCanBreakMyBones simply speaks her enemies dead]] but is capable of getting physical with a whip made of pure energy if necessary (and provided [[TheHecateSisters she's not in Maiden or Crone mode]]), while Jagganoth switches between multiple combat forms on the fly and is capable of wielding his own weapons using MindOverMatter and CounterSpell opposing magic. Jadis was the prime example of this amongst the Seven before [[AndIMustScream she was frozen in her crystal]], and is seen wielding a sword in flashbacks.

* As ''{{Webcomic/Drowtales}}'' tends to have a more realistic approach to how magic would work, most Drow/elfkind soldiers and fighters have some degree of magic power and fighting prowess - anyone who specializes solely in either tend not to do well (exceptions exist). True "magic knights" however tend to be more experienced overall and most ranking members of an army will be a force to be reckoned with either way.

*** Well, maybe not ''just'' RuleOfFunny. Black Mage is the Glass Cannon, yes - but that's in only in comparison to ''the other Light Warriors.'' Fighter is able to survive almost any kind of attack even before getting his class change (which allows him to block every kind of attack imaginable, even ''fatal falling damage''), the Fiend of Fire couldn't even seriously injure him, and he can survive underwater, without air, for 20 minutes or more. Red Mage was eaten by the Fiend of Water, his last choked words that his skeleton was being pushed out through his mouth... and then cut his way out of the beast about a minute later. A similar situation occurred when he was eaten by a fire dragon who refused to help the party across a river of lava, because riding on his back would prove fatal to humans. And Thief is expert enough at escaping or avoiding attacks that we rarely see his durability.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Raven and Abraham are this which means their battle consisted of swordfighting and spellcasting. Halfway through the battle Abraham forgets that Raven is this and suffers for it.
* ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'': Angels are the most magically capable race and their warriors wield [[HolyHandGrenade holy magic infused weapons]] and armor (at least in the case of [[EliteMooks Seraphs]] for the latter).
** Fire Demons are the second-most physically powerful demon breed and are capable of multiple strong spells ([[BreathWeapon most infamously fire breath]]). Water Demons, while not quite as physically strong, still have greater strength that most other races and an even larger spell selection.
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' has the fighters known as fishermen, originating from the practice of slaying gigantic aquatic beasts.
