Knight

Knights are a possible evolution of Infected Humans, belonging in the Evolved tier. They are basic Evolved that act as expendable warriors. They are defined as a disposable mob by the config.

Spawning

• Spawned when an Infected Human gets an evolution point by killing a mob and its evolution timer begins. If the evolution succeeds, they have a 22.5% chance to become a Knight.

• Spawned from a Howler's summoning ability.

• Spawned from Arena Tendrils during the second and third waves of a raid.

• Spawned from Vigils during the second and third waves of a Vigil raid.

• Spawned from Verwahrungs.

• Spawned from a Howitzer's large Flesh Bomb.

Hyper Evolution

When reaching 7 kills and waiting for the 5-minute evolution timer to finish, the Knight will evolve into an Inquisitor.

Unique Behavior

• The lower health the Knight gets, the more armor it will have. 2 lost hearts will equal 1 more armor bar.

• Can be picked up by Phayrie.

• Knights have a custom death message, being "<player> was disemboweled by Knight." 30% of the damage Knights do is custom 'knight damage,' this solely effects the death message.
