}}Knight is a heavily armored elite unit from the [[Noble Houses|Noble]] faction.

Can become a [[Knight (Champion)|champion]] with a 2% chance.

== Equipment ==

* A [[Noble Sword]], [[Warhammer]], [[Winged Mace]] or [[Fighting Axe]].
* A [[Coat of Plates]] (320), [[Coat of Scales]] (300) or [[Reinforced Mail Hauberk]] (210).
** The armor has a 40% chance of [[Heraldic Shoulderguards]] (40) (only houses with certain banners), [[Metal Joint Covers]] (30) or a [[Mail Patch]] (20) on it.
* A [[Decorated Full Helm]] (320) or [[Full Helm]] (300).
* A [[Kite Shield]] or [[Heater Shield]].

== Behavior ==
Knights fight aggressively, using special attacks until fatigued. Unlike what a human usually does, they can spend all AP to come into melee distance. They rarely shieldwall, instead striking twice or using a special attack. Even their [[Shields|shield]] is used for offense, to [[Knock Back (20 fatigue)|knock]] enemies from high ground for them to claim it.

They always generate with unique names.

== Tips==

* Very tough and also difficult to hit.
* High accuracy allows them to reliably hit evasive characters.
* [[Throwing Net|Nets]] make them easier to hit, but [[Taunt (Skill)|Taunt]] is required to prevent them from breaking free.
* Can use their shield to take your high ground, and it will be hard to take back.
* Breaking their shields takes time, but does not require melee skill or Double Grip.
* Armor piercing or anti-armor weapons are required to penetrate their armor.
* [[Two-Handed Flail|Two-Handed Flails]] bypass their shields and inflict more damage on headshots, because Knights don't have [[Steel Brow]].
* Prolonged combat with them can be dangerous. [[Rotation (Perk)|Rotation]], [[Footwork (Perk)|Footwork]] or a [[Smoke Pot]] allow to escape it.
* Can be [[Daggers|punctured]] for their armor if their [[morale]] breaks or if you can reliably [[Maces|stun]] or [[Battle Whip|disarm]] them.
