Knights are serious business on the battlefield. Their heavy armor and weaponry allow them to put down Guardians with ease. They are most commonly armed with a [[Boomer]] | Knights are serious business on the battlefield. Their heavy armor and weaponry allow them to put down Guardians with ease. They are most commonly armed with a [[Boomer]], which they use to siege and overtake the player's position in an attempt to lock down an important area with a barrage of explosive [[Arc]] bolts. When on low health, a Boomer Knight has a chance of going berserk, charging towards its target to land a devastating melee attack in a land ditch effort to take down any remaining Guardians, and a small amount of health will be regenerated in that time frame. If armed with a [[Shredder]], they will tend to keep their distance and pick the player off at range, although they fire this weapon faster and more accurately than an [[Acolyte]]. If armed with a [[Cleaver]], they will charge fearlessly into the fray and chase down their target to hack them to pieces. To increase their durability, all Knights are capable of summoning a Darkness Shield that blocks all frontal attacks and regenerates their health, and some have Arc shields to further improve upon this. However, when they summon their Darkness Shield, they are vulnerable to flanking and grenades, making them an easy target in this state. | ||
