On top of their formidable weaponry and defenses, Knights are even more deadly on [[Nightfall]] strikes where they acquire an Arc shield and increased effectiveness with their weapons. Some other knights, such as [[Blade of Crota|Blades of Crota]] or [[Urzok, the Hated]], also have Arc shields. | On top of their formidable weaponry and defenses, Knights are even more deadly on [[Nightfall]] strikes where they acquire an Arc shield and increased effectiveness with their weapons.

==Gameplay== | |||
Knights are serious business on the battlefield. They are most commonly armed with a [[Boomer]] for long range explosive attacks, which they use to slowly corner Guardians until they are in a position where they cannot evade their fire. Occasionally, Boomer Knights will charge at their targets when on low health and will attempt to land a deadly melee attack, unless they are killed. If armed with a [[Shredder]], they will tend to keep their distance and pick the player off at range. If armed with a [[Cleaver]], they will charge fearlessly into the fray and chase down their target to hack them to pieces. To increase their durability, all Knights are capable of summoning a Darkness Shield that blocks all frontal attacks and regenerates their health. | |||
