Knight

The Knight is a Cadaver enemy in Darkest Dungeon II.

Description
Clad in impressive plate armor, Knights are the elite shock troops of the Lost Battalion. Their skillset takes advantage of their large health pool, allowing them to generate and  to discourage attackers, while inflicting heavy  Bleed damage on frontline heroes.

Death's Door Bonuses
Uniquely amongst enemies, the Knight gains powerful buffs when on Death's Door:
 * +50% DMG
 * +5, sufficient to negate the Death's Door speed penalty
 * The Knight does not gain any tokens upon reaching  Death's Door.

And if all those buffs weren't enough, the Knight also has a 65% deathblow resistance, making them very dangerous opponents when near death.

ORDER: Slay the Wounded
Receiving an Order token from a Drummer will enable the Knight to use a powerful cleave attack. The order will also grant the Knight the +50% DMG buff against bleeding targets for 1 round.
