Webknecht is a giant spider, a weak enemy from the Beasts faction.
Spawning
Webknechts spawn in forests, except snowy. They also can be encountered in Hunting Webknechts猎杀巨蛛 contracts, that appear in forest villages, and in Hunting Beasts猎杀野兽 contracts that appear in any village, but swamp and especially forest villages are more likely to generate spiders, and snowy villages never generate them.

Loot
Webknechts spawn with size from 0.7 to 0.9, and only drop loot if it is greater than 0.75, and the probability is 60% on top of that. This results in a 3/7 roll.
- 3/7 chance of trophies:
- A Gossamer蛛丝 (60% chance) or Poison Gland毒腺 (40% chance).
- 5% chance of Webbed Valuables蛛网中的财宝 (180 crowns).
- 3/7 chance of trophies:
- A Gossamer蛛丝 (60% chance) or Poison Gland毒腺 (40% chance). 50% chance of another, rolled separately.
- 5% chance of Webbed Valuables蛛网中的财宝 (180 crowns).
Spiders hatched from eggs are too small to drop any loot.
Behavior
Webknechts are very numerous, and will also generate Webknecht Eggs巨蛛卵 that spawn even more. The number of eggs is 5 times less than spiders, and each egg can spawn 4 of them. Spiders that hatched don't drop loot and their XP reward is halved. Eggs only appear when there is more than 5 spiders.
Webknechts can traverse steep cliffs.
Webknechts are beasts dumb enough to run into spearwall矛墙 or come close without being able to attack. They sometimes run into surrounding and footwork灵活步法 away. They almost always prioritize web over bite撕咬.
They can't have these injuries:
- Fractured Hand手部骨裂
- Crushed Finger手指压伤
- Fractured Elbow肘部骨裂
- Smashed Hand手部砸伤
- Broken Arm手臂骨折
- Cut Arm Sinew臂腱割伤
- Cut Arm手臂割伤
- Split Hand手掌劈裂
- Pierced Hand手部贯穿伤
- Pierced Arm Muscles手臂肌肉贯穿伤
- Burnt Hands双手烧伤
Tips
- High melee skill is good to have because it is required to remove webs.
- Webs decrease damage you do and increase damage taken from spiders. Prioritize removing webs over attacking.
- You will fight almost two times more spiders because of eggs. However they attack with a delay, instead of in a one wave.
- Defensive strategies don't work well because webs lower defense, and less killing means more spiders and more webs, more value of their Backstabber背刺者 and Fast Adaptation快速适应.
- 6 AP weapons don't pair well with 4 AP breaking free. They require someone else to remove the web.
- Double gripped swords (anything better than Shortsword短剑) always kill them in two hits and have +10 to hit. Warbrands are similar because they have a 4 AP attack.
- Polearms with Mastery allow to both attack and remove a web. Head hits kill spiders. Swordlance长柄剑刃 is the best choice because it attacks multiple targets. Killing Frenzy杀戮狂热 allows to kill spiders without head hits, and Berserk狂战 allows to attack more.
- Spearwall矛墙 does damage, but is fatiguing to use and can be quickly breached given the number of attempts spiders do.
- Recover恢复体力 can be useful to restore stamina lost while killing and breaking free from webs.
- With proper spacing they come close without attacking.
- The sheer number of them coming close triggers many morale士气 checks that can break morale if your resolve is low.
- Evergreen forests, where you often fight them, have narrow passages that are easier to hold. On the other side, you start surrounded and shuffled, your archer can spawn isolated and spiders on their first turn will move next to him. Be prepared.
- Contracts to protect firstborn can be difficult because Webknechts should be fought aggressively and Hexen女巫 must be fought carefully, and also spiders hatch from eggs and come from behind.
