Nerf: While The Knight is within 8 meters of a Guard that is actively hunting, the hunt timer will deplete at 3x the normal speed.

UX - Knight Guard's Chase

Added a visual feedback when you have successfully distracted a guard by passing near a Window or downed Pallet.

These nerfs have to be reverted. Knight is totally helpless right now.

    no, people who just solely relied on pinching people with his guards for free hits are now struggling to actual play him as killer

    as others have said if double tapping was the only strength you think knight had then this isnt a balance problem.

    He was buffed overall.

    He's actually not so bad. I'm getting frequent 3k-4ks with him by intercepting hunts instead of grouping up. Knight's Contract also does wonders with slight gen defense and preventing survivors from stalking me with a flashlight while I'm dealing with a chase.

    Pincer maneuvers and instant guard dropping gave guarantee hits so i can see why some find him weaker. The new knight is a tactician and i much prefer playing him now. His last iteration with the global cooldown was the weakest he ever was but i think this current version is stronger than the orginal. Definitely the highest my win rate been with him in. What your build? I use (call to arms, map of the relem, surveillance, ruin, undying, pentimento)
