Knight: Difference between revisions

'''Knights''' are a caste of [[Hive]] creatures.<ref name= "Out Here In The Wild">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Out-Here-in-the-Wild/en/News/News?aid=11009 '''Destiny ViDoc 2:''' ''Out Here In The Wild'']</ref> They are elite soldiers of the Hive, and wields Hive [[Boomer]]s or a [[Cleaver]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eAbpZfqE8r4 '''Official Destiny Gameplay Trailer:''' ''The Moon'']</ref>  They can also summon a shield directly in front of them for a few seconds to block incoming fire, while regenerating a small amount of health in that time frame. <ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> 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.

Knights are serious business on the battlefield. Their heavy armor and weaponry allow them to put down Guardians with ease. 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. However, some high-ranked Knights have Arc shields to increase their overall durability.
