The '''Taken Knight''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Hive]] which fires explosive Solar jets in a wave to dissuade close combat and force players out of cover, and teleports short distances to evade attacks. They are armed with a [[Void]] damage Boomer, which, unlike the Hive version, does not suffer from gravitational drop and its projectiles travel much faster, making it harder to evade long-range fire.


==Gameplay==
There were no Taken Knights armed with [[Cleaver|Cleavers]] Until ''[[Forsaken]]'', which introduced the [[Might of Riven|Mights of Riven]]. These Knights retained their Solar ability, but otherwise acted no different from a normal Cleaver-armed Knight. Later on in ''[[Season of Arrivals]]'', more Taken Cleaver Knights could be observed.
Taken Knights have lost the ability to create a Darkness Wall, but have gained a fiery [[Solar]] breath, which travels in an arc for a surprisingly long range and leaves flaming pools of fire on impact. They have also gained the ability to teleport short distances, which they use to evade attacks. They are commonly armed with a [[Void]] Boomer, which, unlike the Hive version, does not suffer from gravitational drop and its projectiles travel much faster, making it harder to evade long-range fire. However, their arsenal is much less varied, only rarely using [[Arc]] [[Shredder]]s, and with only specific variants using [[Cleaver]]s. Knight remain formidable foes that require high damage to be taken down.
