The Knight is my favorite killer apart from Nemesis and Wraith and I'm glad there are people out there that also enjoy playing him while not holding 3 gens and camping. He's pretty mechanically interesting overall and I think a lot of folks just underestimate him.
This is the gameplay I was searching, thanks to have showed that this killer can be played in other ways 😁😁 The knight can do great or less, depending on the playstyle you choose. I personally think "dropping a guard in front of a loop" like most says, is what makes the Knight countered by holding W bc you make yourself predictable in front of the survivors and it's not an optimal strat. That why the latest buffs allows to play him for an extent.
I remember these two matches and I hope people take note of what the Knight is capable of with either only one add-on (in the first game's case) or none (second game). First game was really good, but that second one was potentially trepidatious. The Claud was so good and the first Head-On play was a real threat. I think the thing that threw it for them was the Thalita (I think it was) going for the second Head-On while the other person was on the hook. They could've gotten the unhook and potentially turned that game into a 2-3k depending. I especially hope that match is viewed by Killers and Survivors alike because of how Claud moved. Seeing how she played around tiles (especially one which is regarded as the worst tile ever) and managed to keep you busy in chase was phenomenal.
I'm definitely going to have to try playing Knight at some point. Right now, I'm doing a 30 days of Executioner personal challenge to learn to play Executioner (randomly selected) and I've used quite a bit of your Executioner knowledge as my foundation. It's going pretty well :D
Definitely love the showcase of using Knight's power to chase multiple people simultaneously. It's a good show of pressure imo, and a very good way to use his power rather than just plopping down a guard and forcing someone out a loop.
Hi! I've been really enjoying playing as Knight, I actually like his concept and deploying guards to help you is really unique. I agree that the Knight is a really strong killer, just heavily misused. While I'm not that good as the Knight, it's crazy how he can create map pressure. I'm not good at predicting where survivors will go, but I would say multi-tasking with this killer is key!
I hope to see more knight players play like this rather than the plop down at small loops, camp three gens, etc. it’s actually fearful now that a guard or the knight himself can just appear and pinch you off in tight spaces. I feel like it allows for more engaging gameplay both sides and allows for survivors to be on their guard (no puns intended) at all times!
I think most people don't know how to play the knight. Most knight players don't seem to be able to predict my movement as survivor when they have to draw a trail. I almost feel relieved when i see them try, because it is so rare i see them actually be right. 9/10 they sended their guard to the closest loop while i W keyed away to the other side of the map. They all seem to be very close minded and don't try to predict my movement or hear me. Maybe good spirit players would be good at Knight, but they probably still need to learn other skills.
I liked that you mentioned Spirit because I think you're right, that it's related. Both of their powers make it so you can't see the survivor and thus have to find a way to know where they're going. Lots of Spirits (even the ones with a decent amount of hours in the game) will try to guess what the survivor will do and go straight for the nearby window or pallet - which honestly will work in probably 90% of the case. But you then have some survivors who understand a killer's power and will not follow the most common pathing. That's when those killers struggle and think like said killer is much weaker than it actually is.
Love this video. This just shows tha Knight can win without boring and optimal strategies. Making 2 chases at once or make "oreo" with guards is just so fun. Also quick question to knight players: Is only I addicted to call to arms.
I still don't see how knight is strong. He fails miserably in applying pressure in larger maps and has a rough early game. Knight spends too much to summon a guard that will not even be a guaranteed hit in the first place. I have been playing him since his release, and he is very weak compared to other killers. I've tried multiple strategies with him, like hit and run, during chases, using his 5% regression, and they all seem to not be reliable.
The point has never been that is not playable or viable. It is less accessible to new players and new knight. Saying "He can still work even if we remove the simple gameplay, so now that "I" learned him and I do not need anymore him to be accessible i think this modification is good.". It is like Arinad saying "In my opinion the purple bottle should work only when the yellow bottle is active on the clown. I know it is possible to play like this and i am the best clown main in the world then i think it should be done!"
I mean, it isn’t though. Everyone consistently says he is easily countered by holding W. And that the only way to play him is drop guards instantly because people just dodge. This sort of disproves all of that. Saying that instantly dropping g the guard is a smart accessibility thing makes no sense. Killers that require some skill shouldn’t always have an accessible alternative method of play -
@@DyllonKG In fact i think it is the opposite. Hold W counters only the quick drop and only if you have something behind the loop. If you are skilled hold W is not effective with long guards because you drop them in the right moment and they can overrun the guy that holds W. Knight requires skill in the guard managements and you need to have a very good game sense. But yes, all the killer should have an easy mode option and the easy mode of the knight is the insta drop. Not that efficient but if you are a casual player and you play knight once per month probably the insta drop is what you are going to do.

Yup! People underestimate them it's insane.

“Babe, wake up! Dyllon just posted a knight gameplay video!”
" Took me two months but baby I'm awake 😘 "
You broke your own rule at 10:05, spawned a guard without making a path.
I could’ve drawn a path up, yes. The match was over lol

Congrats! 30 days of practicing/ playing a killer definitely helps build skill . Now i wanna try that with a killer 😅

Call to arms is really good
Honestly watching you play knight has made me want to try you're method it looks way more fun. Although my game sense is a little off lately.

Maybe this is a you thing
very enjoyable matches
