Synergies

What Does Hero Knight Do?
Hero Knight's ability is Triumphant Taunt. After a short delay, he forces every enemy troop and building in a wide radius around him to attack him instead of their intended target, while he simultaneously gains a shield to help absorb the incoming damage.
That taunt effect lasts for several seconds, and enemies will keep targeting him even after it ends, until either he's defeated or they finish him off - making the timing of the ability crucial to both offense and defense.
How to Unlock Hero Knight
Collect 200 Hero Fragments to unlock him. Fragments come from Hero Boxes earned through events, Pass Royale, and general progression - or you can get a full Hero directly through Pass Royale.
