How to Beat Knight

Generally, Knights will be those special enemies that can give you some troubles. They deal high damage but are generally weak to magic and pierce attacks. Also, they don't use firebombs like the Soldiers so sniping them with magic is the safest way to beat them.

Sword Knight

The Sword Knight's attack can be easily predicted due to it's slow movement. You'll want to fight it one on one so you can bait its attacks and punish it or you can parry it for a quick kill.

Claymore Knight

The Claymore Knight's attacks are heavy and blocking it can result in your guard being broken. Focus on avoiding it's attacks then launching quick attacks to whittle down its HP.

Spear Knight

The Spear Knight will approach aggressively while putting up it's shield. However, when it does attempt to attack you, it will be extremely vulnerable. Bait it's lunge attack then go for some quick hits or a backstab to defeat the Spear Knight.
