Knight Feels Super Weak

[Mason]

This probably isn't news for some, but man this guy feels worse than Trapper. I mean his power does nothing. Can't use it during chase because the animations are too slow so survivors hold W and run to the next pallet loop. Even when you place a guard at a pallet loop to deny them from running the loop again, it doesn't matter, once again, too slow, survivors hold W and run.

Sending guards to break doors, pallets, and gens is fine I guess, but still super slow. Even with Call to Arms add on.

Only value I've really gotten out of his power is camping. Even then it's a bit inconsistent. Predicting where survivors go during a chase to cut them off with a guard rarely if ever works... even though it seems that's how you're supposed to use his power. But still the animations are so damn slow and the guards take ages to detect someone and actually begin chasing them.. that again it just feels pointless.

Meh, Idk, I was looking forward to playing this guy, made the mistake of saving my iri shards for him and even threw a mil or so bps at the guy, for him to the one of the worst killers in the game. Ah well, he's still cool, shame he's just a M1 killer in most instances. Almost feels like Plague if no one cleanses, you have no power. Just disappointing.

He is super weak, he has a power that can give survivors endurance and a free sprint burst. I have no idea what BHVR was thinking.
imagine escaping from a bear trap teleports you.
imagine triggering a hags trap gives you endurance.
imagine getting hit by Nemesis' whip heals you.
imagine cleansing against a plague also autocompletes a generator

Nothing like that exists in any other killer. even cleansing against a plague gives her a pool to consume

Knight is weak but i dont think you play him well.

Your power can be use in different way depending on the loop. You can insta drop it in loop with no high wall or with game sense you can drop the guard in front of the survivor.

Use guard when you want to scout gen a max range guard spawn will result in a hit a lot of the time depending if you summon cannifex or the assasin if not just spawn the guard at the pallet near the gen and cut them on the other side.

The best guard he have are canifex and the assasin only use those 2 for chase and keep the jailer for breaking pallet or door it take more time but he do nothing in chase or use the jailer after a hook for scouting purpose.

Again knight hes weak so you always need to play meta with him and some of his best addon are brown. You cant camo with knight btw the second a survivor start the hook animation the guard dissapear.

He is actually pretty decent, but you gotta use his power properly, and you gotta rely a lot on audio, similar to spirit, to set his guards on top of survivors, making them unavoidable.

I would also recommend setting a guard after a down to harass another survivor off a gen while youre hooking or to patrol the area around you if you suspect a flashlight/pallet save.

Like Truth said as well, you can send a guard at long range towards a gen, which can be to see if theres anyone there, saving you the time of walking there, or detecting a survivor and starting an unavoidable hunt on them, which can even lead to a hit if they dont react quick enough.

I would recommend to send a guard towards a loop the survivor is going, to deny it, or even start a hunt that way, if youre around a tall loop, like shack, you could make a patrol around, which is a lot harder to avoid than just dropping the guard inside.

You also gotta learn how to use each guard, Carnifex can be good to instantly break a pallet, which most of the time will lead to a free hit, in other cases, you can also just have the guard break a pallet on a loop, which can lead to a hit if they have nowhere to go, since the survivor cant vault a pallet a guard is breaking, Carni is also the best guard for sandwiching since he lasts the longest.

Assassin is good for long range patrols since he is likely to get hits on surprise hunts, also being good during chases due to being faster.

Jailer is better used for breaking stuff outside of chase (Besides blocking a pallet on a loop like mentioned before) and finding survivors due to his bigger detection range, he can also patrol gens better since he has the longest patrol duration.

If a survivor is greedy with a gen, you can use the guard to forcefully dmg the gen, since it will force the survivor off of it.

Another tip is that you can put a guard on hook survivors BUT, behind a wall or on another floor, that way if the survivor unhooks someone without agrooing the guard first, they will get hunted after unhooking, Jailer in particular is decent at this since he lasts long in patrol and has the bigger detection range.

Play in SEA servers and meet those Knights.

If survivors hold W at every loop he is very weak.
