Knight is one of the most versatile cheap cards in the game. Solid hitpoints and decent damage make him useful on both defense and offense, and he fits into almost any deck.

How to play

On defense, use him to stop ground troops, block tanks or distract cards like Hog Rider. On offense he tanks for win conditions such as X-Bow, Mortar or Miner. Because he's cheap, a Knight that survives on defense turns into an easy counterpush.

Tips

• Use Knight to tie up single-target cards like Mini P.E.K.K.A or Prince, then finish them with another card from behind.
• In siege decks, place Knight in front of X-Bow or Mortar to protect the building from ground troops.
• Knight can't hit air, so always keep some air defense next to him.

Strengths

• Very tanky for his cost, so he trades well against cheap cards.
• A safe defensive card that fits almost any deck.

Weaknesses

• Can't damage air troops at all.
• Swarms and high-damage cards melt him quickly.

How to counter it

Cards that deal with it efficiently:

Evolution and hero

This card has an evolution. The evolution is active in your deck’s 1st (Evolution) or 3rd (Wild) slot. The Evolution slot unlocks at Arena 3, the Wild slot at Arena 10.

This card has a hero form. The hero is active in your deck’s 2nd (Hero) or 3rd (Wild) slot. The Hero slot unlocks at Arena 5.

If you have unlocked both, you can choose which form is active in the Wild slot in the game; evolution is the default.

ElixirDeck automatically takes your unlocked evolutions and heroes into account: build your decks.
