• How To Defeat Sir Knight

Sir Knight is one of the Royal Arena Champions that you might face at the end of Alina Of The Arena. He strictly fights one-on-one, but he maintains an advantage by forcing players to needlessly spend energy throughout the battle. Once he starts counting down to his finishing moves, it means your run is about to end - either in victory or defeat.

While Sir Knights is probably the simplest of the game's final bosses, he's still perfectly capable of defeating even a well-thought-out build. You'll need to leverage every advantage you have if you want to survive his onslaught!

Sir Knight's Pattern

Sir Knight starts the fight with tactics similar to Giga Blade; he makes sweeping attacks with his sword that are hard to dodge but fairly easy to block. Try to put as much damage as you can on the boss during the first two turns, since even a little extra can be important at the end of the battle.

On the third turn, Sir Knight begins preparing his first special move, Double Flying Slash. He doesn't do any damage on this turn, and while the attack can't be interrupted this is a great opportunity to hit him hard. On the next two turns, Sir Knight executes Double Flying Slash, leaping across the battlefield and hitting every space within two tiles of himself along the way.

Judgment

Once he's used Double Flying Slash, Sir Knight enters his second phase, giving you a three turn countdown before he unleashes Judgment. He'll still attack for minor damage while he's counting down, but it's imperative that you break his armor before the time runs out, so take the hits if you have to.

If Sir Knight is allowed to use Judgment, he deals damage to Alina equal to his own remaining Block. Unless you've worn him down to single-digits or broken his armor entirely, this can be an instant game over.

If you survive Judgment, Sir Knight enters a third phase, giving himself Electrified Weapon for the rest of the fight. Every time he hits you he'll put a Shock into your hand, causing you to take damage if you play cards without first playing Shock. He then alternates between Double Flying Slash and Full Moon Slash, which hits a wide radius around Sir Knight without moving.

Final Judgment

Once Sir Knight is reduced below 150 HP, he starts counting down to his ultimate attack, Final Judgment. This attack deals fifty damage plus Sir Knight's remaining Block, making it an auto-kill against most decks. Once he starts prepping this attack, it's him or you - go all out and finish him before he unleashes it.

How To Defeat Sir Knight

Beating Sir Knight requires an aggressive deck with just enough defense to weather his slash attacks. The biggest hurdle to overcome is the extra energy you'll be spending to keep the boss within range, since all of his attacks push Alina away. Keeping a Root Potion tucked away for the fight's final stage is a great way to ensure that you stay next to Sir Knight when it matters most, and if you have Psyched Up in your deck you can use it to easily deal with Shock.

Consider bringing a bow to the fight against Sir Knight - that way it doesn't matter as much that he keeps pushing you away!

Carefully watch your HP throughout the fight, and be ready to take a little damage if it means getting an extra hit on the boss. Even a single Health Potion can give you enough healing to stay in the fight. Whether you're taking damage from Sir Knight's standard attacks or from Shock, remember that you won't survive Final Judgment anyway, so you can afford to suffer those hits!

Once Sir Knight starts counting down to either of his finishers, focus all your efforts on breaking his armor. If you can, try to get stacks of Burn onto Sir Knight at this time, since it will reduce his HP while you're working on his armor. Bleed is also very useful, since that effect makes it more likely that you'll be able to deal the required amount of damage within the time limit.
