Heavy Knight

Concept art from the Heavy Knight made by Hengishammer from the PVKII Developer team

Like a medieval version of a tank, these elite troops are capable of withstanding a tremendous amount of damage and can dish out almost the same.

Overview

Master of melee. As the name implies, these guys are Heavy and that guarantees they wont be easy to kill at melee fight. Although Heavy Knights are the slowest class in the game, they can also withstand most damage because of their very high armor and good health. With that being said, they can also deal the most damage. By using their long 2-handed sword, they can cause massive amounts of damage. But As heavy Knight dominates in melee, he does not have any ranged weapons, but does he need any? We dont think so.

Weaponry

Two-Handed Sword

Heavy Knights main weapon, strongest weapon in the game. Its also very long, so those itty-bitty enemies will be having hard time. It has some drawbacks too of course, it swings very slowly and takes pretty long time to charge. When your special meter is filled, press the special button to do a 360° spin.

Dmg Charged/N:107/79, Special dmg:25x5

Forward/Side Interval: 27

String:15

Sword and Shield

Many people don't use this for fighting, since its not that powerful and it has only average reach although it swings pretty fast and charges too. You can bash with the shield and then do a counter attack, which can of course be a good tactic if you practice it. But the main purpose for this weapon's existence is that shield covers you well, you can block kegs and ranged weapons with it, however although the shield can be broken, it can withstand a good amount of damage. If you are dying you can always take your shield out and just hope help arrives, or just bash people with it for fun. The shield bash can also be used to knock a chest out of an enemy's hands.

Dmg Charged/N: 60/45

Shield Bash Dmg Charged/N: 10/5

Trivia

• The class is loosely based on the Black Knight (a character from the British comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail) performed by John Cleese; ironically enough the character cannot be dismembered as of Beta 3.1 update.

• A flail was planned to be part of Heavy Knight's arsenal, like his PVK1 counterpart, but the weapon was scrapped during development of the original release and it was replaced by a crossbow. The crossbow was later removed from the Heavy Knight's arsenal by the time the Archer was introduced in PVKII, in the Beta 2.0 update.
