A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.

The primary skill of the knight is an attack with his sword. Being a melee warrior, the knight is proficient in the use of a shield to protect himself and others from harm. In order to be able to destroy thing with ease, the knight can use bombs. He can hold 3 bombs at the same time.

• [Left click] - Fight with the sword. Click once to attack. For a more powerful attack, click and hold to charge, then release at the right moment to execute charged swing. A charged attacks can damage doors and break enemy shielding for a while.
• [Right click] - Defend with the shield, change the shield direction by moving the mouse cursor, it'll block other swords, arrows and enemies can't pass through the shield, the knight is slowed and can't jump when he is using his shield. By making the shield face upwards, the knight can also hover for a while when falling and he can be a human step on the ground.
• [F] - Light a bomb, press [F] again to throw it, the bomb will kill enemies not blocking the blast, but it can blow yourself up if not thrown before the timer runs out.

Gameplay tips:

• Knights are the most dangerous class in close combat, and can block arrows with their shield.

• Knights are the most effective underground in close confines where their shield can stop the advance of far superior numbers and their bombs can be devastating.

• When no ladder is available, knights can use their shield to allow other players to climb over.

• Use charged attacks to stun shielding enemy knights.

• To execute a double charged attack: Take a charged swing, then briefly hold and release the attack button to swing again.

• Use a bomb to quickly pierce enemy defenses.

• Press [E] to pick up lit bombs, and [F] again to throw. Be careful as the timer keeps running and you can blow yourself up, though you could save your team from the blast!

• You can make bombs go further by jumping and moving while throwing a bomb with [F].

• The knight's shield goes down after a powerful hit (a fully drawn arrow, landing hard, a fully charged sword swing, or an explosion).

• Skilled knights have learned to use bombs to jump higher and overcome enemy defenses. Shield near a bomb to get thrown away. With practice you can control the way the bomb will throw you!
