}}Hedge Knight is a dangerous, heavily armored elite unit, sometimes encountered in [[arena]] fights and among [[mercenaries]] and [[brigands]].

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

==Equipment==
* An [[Arming Sword]], [[Noble Sword]], [[Warbrand]], [[Greatsword]], [[Fighting Axe]], [[Bardiche]], [[Greataxe]], [[Two-Handed Flail]], [[Two-Handed Hammer]] or [[Two-Handed Flanged Mace]].
*A [[Coat of Plates]] (320), [[Coat of Scales]] (300), [[Heavy Lamellar Armor]] (285) or [[Reinforced Mail Hauberk]] (210).
*A [[Full Helm]] (300) or [[Closed Flat Top with Mail]] (280).
* If the weapon is one-handed, a [[Kite Shield]] or [[Heater Shield]].

==Tips==
*Armor piercing or anti-armor weapons are required to penetrate their armor.
*High accuracy allows them to reliably hit evasive characters.
*Those who have two-handed weapons deal high damage, and those who have [[shields]] are difficult to hit.
*Breaking their shields isn't hard as they lack [[Shield Expert]] and does not require melee skill or Double Grip.
*Control them by [[Maces|stunning]] or [[Battle Whip|disarming]].
*[[Throwing Net|Nets]] make them easier to hit, but [[Taunt (Skill)|Taunt]] is required to prevent them from breaking free. Also they can't remove a net and attack with a 6 AP weapon on the same turn.
*Can be [[Daggers|punctured]] for their armor if their [[morale]] breaks or if you can reliably stun or disarm them. However, failing to stun can result in casualties: he has [[Berserk]] that allows him to attack after a kill and [[Killing Frenzy]] makes the following attack even more deadly, whereas the [[Battle Flow]] grants enough fatigue to execute this attack.
