{{Quote|You are a Knight. Ancient warrior elite. Dreadful backbone of the Hive. You have scarred entire worlds. ''[...]'' You fear death. Even as you visit nothingness on your foes, even as you gather tribute from your acolytes, you know that one day your strength will be outmatched. And your centuries of slaughter will end. ''[...]'' You betray the sword logic. You compromise the totality of your violence. Why protect your ground when you could take the enemy's? You need to make your guard into a weapon. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like ''[no more fear]''. Take up the knife. Hide no more. Take your new shape.|[[Grimoire]] description}}

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Taken Knights have lost the ability to create a Darkness Wall, but have gained a fiery [[Solar]] breath, which travels in and 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]] 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. 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.
