The only knight I ever really had trouble with was Propeller knight...And even then, it's mostly his stage.

... Thinker knight?... You mean the one knight that is an absolute joke and incredibly easy to do without getting hit a single time, that Tinker knight? o_O

I'd personally say Propeller knight, while not too hard he is one of the few bosses that can one-shot you for making a mistake.

Polar Knight for me just because of the spikes, though that can be avoided with the Phase Locket.

I mostly found the actual stages harder than the bosses though. Stupid Submarine Stage...it's proof that there's no such thing as a fun underwater level!

Polar Knight is the only boss I can't complete without getting hit.

To me, Polar Knight and Plague Knight are the hardest, especially if you avoided Health Upgrades/Relics. Those are the only two where I feel like I can't get really aggressive against them from the start.

Polar Knight controls space better than the other knights by creating spikes, chucking multiple projectile types, and blocking your downthrust. Plague Knight isn't as deadly, but he can dart around the screen quickly, and doesn't have a lot of waiting moments like some of the other knights do. If he manages to hit you too much, and you don't/can't use any relics, then his keep-a-way game can get pretty stressful.

OP's most likely referring to the second phase. I personally don't think that one is much harder if you can bounce well, but I won't berate OP, he/she has their reasons.

I share my opinion with KaboomKid, Polar Knight is a huge pain because of those spikes and multiple projectile types are too much to focus on and Plague Knight is very annoying because of his speed and teleports.

I really hate Propeller Knight, because of whole "Botomless Pit" problem during his desperation phase and my strategy (Two "Invulnerbility" ichors and Phase Locket) might not work sometimes. I tried to not use ichors before Phantom Striker (because I wanted big reward from him), but Propeller Knight REALLY annoyed me with his stage and himself! So I had to use them, but I still manage to win fight against Phantom Striker with almost no damage. I have yet to reach Polar Knight, but I got a really nasty feeling is that, I'm gonna hate him and his stage too.

Well if you havent got the Phase Locket , Polar Knight would be the hardest one for me , because you insta-die because of the spikes under the snow...
But Propeller Knight...ugh. I only hate him because of these holes he shoots in the platform, then dances around to kick you into one...Can't decide between these two

I might say Baz...but he isn't even a real knight. I'd say that for me the toughest is Propeller Knight. There isn't ANYTHING he does that doesn't give me some degree of trouble, and again, there is the potential for instadeath in the latter part of the fight. Polar Knight's no joke either.

I've been hearing a lot of people getting killed by Polar Knight? He's probably the hardest without health upgrades, otherwise you can get hit by him and (ab)use your invincibility frames to cause massive damage to him whilst not getting hit by spikes. Otherwise, put on your bullet hell game and take care to dodge his attacks whilst fighting him the same way you'd fight a regular knight, bounce on top, he blocks, strike the side. That way, he goes down very, very easily.
Propeller Knight is harder, yes? His attacks and his bottomless pits, they are frustrating? True, I'd have to say he's the hardest. Easy to beat if you know what you're doing though. At the start, you're fencing with him. Do the boss fight over and over until you've learned the timing you need on each shovel swing. Don't miss an opportunity to shovel drop him as he flies around, and stay well clear from the holes. You should be fine.
Did someone say Phantom Striker? That guy's even easier than Treasure Knight!
