As someone who has had regular glasses their whole life, to anyone who spends a lot of time at the computer, these are worth getting! And if you are like me and have prescription glasses, you should be able to talk to your eye doctor about getting Blue Light Lenses, probably not the same as the sponsor but just a little tip for anyone who actually needs glasses to live life! Seriously though these are worth getting if you value your eyes! Plus some say wearing glasses makes you 10% more attractive :)

Hi

[@bdana7848]

I recently got lasik surgery in both eyes. I wore prescription glasses with blue light filters for well over 10 years. Now after the lasik and no longer needing glasses, I find that I can really notice the strain on my eyes when I sit at my computer. One of the first things I did after the surgery was go to walmart and buy a pair of blue light filtering glasses, but they were cheap and it was easy to tell. Since then I've been looking for a new pair of them so when I saw the add at the beginning of the video I immediately went to the website and ordered a pair. This is the first time ever that an add in a youtube video has gotten me to purchase a product. Can't wait to see how well they work.

[@Shiro_Sage]

I mean, he's not wrong. He isn't at Depipster levels of release bad, but his primary function is "I can use my power to make loops unsafe!". Which survivors can counter in several cases by just running away when he casts his power. The biggest issue right now is his bugs though, so we'll see if he gets stronger after the bugs get patched out

Hell in support roles, those seven would be broken in multi-killer matches. Nemesis and Knight working together would make it five on eight. Nemesis and his two zombies, and Knight with his crew.

[@xxfloppypillowxx]

I mean I know this video was made day 1 of release so I understand not fully grasping some of the intricacies of his mechanics so I'll leave some tips for anyone who comes across this in the future. I am still learning the character myself so let me know if you know of any tricks that might be useful. First thing I'd point out is that Spooky only used the power for zoning and lethality but there is a third use and that is for information. While you can't see survivors while creating a path you still can hear them, see blood, and hear generators/totems. This can allow you to quickly check generators without having to walk over there, with the additional bonus that it creates a deadzone on it's way back to you. When paired with the call to arms addon it allows you to check any generator while being in the middle of the map on most maps. Which can be very useful while defending your three gen. It should be noted that you generally want to avoid doing this with the Jailor as he patrols for longer than the others so it can leave you without a power for quite a while if misused. Second think I'd point out is that while Spooky calls them "slow" that's not exactly accurate. They are slow by killer standards. The non-assassins run at 4.1 m/s which importantly is FASTER than a survivor meaning that unless they vault a window they will not outrun them if they didn't gain much distance while the hunt starts. However his power is not solely about lethality! The carnifex's hunt time without add-ons is TWENTY FOUR seconds without addons. That is 24 seconds where that survivor cannot stop to heal, they cannot stop to mend, they cannot stop to work on a generator. It is 24 seconds of you removing a survivor from the game while also being able to track them. It's all well and good to say "oh it'll chase them for 24s" but that doesn't help me if they don't run into my guard! Well here's how to get them to chase. Drop the guard on them. If you drop a guard with in 2m of a survivor the hunt will begin as soon as they're fully spawned. Wait for a situation where you know they're going to commit and drop the guard on them. Going to drop a pallet? Drop it on em. Vault a window? Drop it on em. They running down a narrow hallway? You guessed it. Drop it on em. A final bit of advice I would give for using this character is to keep verticality in mind. Guards' vision does not care about verticality, if someone is in a window on lambkin lane (btw you should never lose this map as knight, it's disgustingly broken for him) drop a guard and watch them fly up to chase them and because you can see where they are you can just wait for them to have to drop down. Same on The Game, you can have the guard patrol near the holes and they'll fly up or down. Some other notable places are Coal Tower, Eeyrie, and Ormand. I hope this helps someone, and happy hunting.

I was excited for a knight killer to come to dbd and although The Knight looks cool af, his power is pretty underwhelming and unrewarding by not being as Intractive and comes off as a miss. Was hoping for a more simplistic but skillful power to master (such as Huntress and Billy) and his power is a good idea, but it doesn't fit as well on the knight as it could on a different killer and the Knight could have had so many other types of powers focused on himself.

[@LordRazer3]

Guards and down people if they hide in a locker mid hunt. Another thing to keep in mind is while a guard is in a hunt you will pass through survivors. I don't know if this is to prevent you from locking them into a instant down but you can you this to you advantage. Before traveling towards a hook drop a guard in your path. If a survivor tries to body block you and trigger the guard hunt then they lose the ability to stop you completely

Nice build

[@dawnsluna5702]

Remember, just because a Guard doesn't get a hit doesn't mean you didn't get value. For the duration of a hunt, survivors can't do anything without risking a health state. People keep comparing Knight to Artist, but I've found people are missing that he seems more like Artist meets Hag, not just Artist 2.0/0.5 as people make him out to be. He has to be territorial and use his power not just in chase, but to distract and slow down the game while pushing survivors where he wants.

[@fluffybum204]

i think a mix of horsemeat (4 second longer hunts) and map of the realm (4 meter bigger detection range) are his best 2 addons

[@betteryou7hanme]

The longer hunt addon is definitely the best. The assassin will almost always connect, and it's just enough extra time for the slower guards to catch up and sometimes get a hit. I think the blacksmith hammer is the second best. 15 seconds of hindered is really strong. The detection range addon makes the radius expand faster, so it can still catch survivors who are running from loops early. It's great too.

[@dfeidt40]

The concept of his power is cool. Seems like it takes too long to send the guards out though.

[@MrHuman002]

If you use the guards for guarding areas (hooks, gens that need regression, exit switches) or for driving survivors away from safe loops, the knight seems pretty strong. And he's a really good camper too, drop a guard and also stay at the hook and even 3 other survivors have trouble doing a rescue.

[@g80gzt]

Can't do it on hooks. Unhooking someone ends the hunt on you.

[@MrHuman002]

@@g80gzt You can if you stay at the hook, I've done it several times. The survivor triggers the guard, and since I'm standing at the hook the survivor usually runs off with the guard chasing rather than trying to get the rescue. Often the guard will keep one rescuer away while I fend off another. At the very least if I'm not there I get info that a rescue is happening.
