Knight
Type: Melee
The primary skill of the knight is to 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. Unless equipped with a bomb the knight can only destroy dirt and door blocks. Up to 3 bombs can be carried 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. Quickly click left mouse button after hitting an enemy with a slash to execute another slash. A charged attack can damage doors, background walls, and break enemy shielding for a while.
- [Right click] - Defend with the shield, change the shield direction by moving the mouse cursor. It will block sword jabs, builder's hammer bashes, arrows and bomb blasts. Enemies can't pass through the shield, but the knight moves slower and can't jump as high when he is using his shield. By making the shield face upwards, the knight can also hover for a while when falling and can be climbed by teammates when standing on the ground. Falling on top of enemies when shielding in their direction will do a shield stomp and will send the enemy flying.
- [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. A lighted bomb's timer can be seen by hovering over it. Keep in mind that shrapnel from destroyed bedrock blocks can still damage your teammates.You can put the bomb in the catapult by pressing [F] and then [E] next to the catapult.
Sword
The sword is the knight's weapon of choice.
Use it with left click. Short presses will result in little stabs which are good for killing builders and archers. Holding down left mouse button will charge the sword. By releasing it while the meter is full, it will kill any unshielded opponent in one blow.
A charged sword strike will also cause a shielded knight to drop his shield and become vulnerable for a moment, similar to how they become vulnerable when hit by a fully charged arrow.
Using the sword knights can destroy every block except stone and bedrock however the digging speed of a knight is inferior to that of a builder.
Bomb
Bombs can be thrown by knights by pressing the [F] or [C] key. They can be bought at bomb workshops for 20 gold coins or looted from other players. Bombs destroy blocks in every direction and are very deadly.
Bombs are the only weapon which can destroy bedrock blocks.
Knights can carry a maximum of 3 bombs at once.

Shield
The shield is the secondary skill of the knight.
Use it by pressing right mouse.
Keep cursor to side of the knight to defend to that side.
Keep cursor above the knight to defend upwards.
When keeping the shield upwards, other players can jump on it.
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.
- Sword Jab will clash with another jab if they roughly hit at the same time. Clash has the same effect as shielding the attack. This also results in a specific sound.
- Use a bomb to quickly pierce enemy defenses.
- Press [C] 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!
