What Does Knight Do?
Knight is a ground-only melee troop with a balanced mix of hitpoints and damage - not the tankiest option, and not the hardest hitter, but reliable across a wide range of situations.
That well-rounded profile is exactly why he's remained a popular staple across nearly every stage of the game, since he doesn't have a glaring weakness the way more specialized cards do.
Where Knight Fits
He works as a flexible defensive troop, a mini-tank for cheaper pushes, or a cycle card to keep an opponent's tower under constant chip pressure - his versatility is his main appeal.
How to Counter Knight
Ranged troops can chip him down from a distance without taking damage in return, and a small swarm can overwhelm his single-target melee attacks.
