  • A Nurse's Calling - Partially - The guard helps you by injuring the survivor.
  • Blood Echo - Partially - If the survivor is affected Blood Echo and is being chased by the guard, the exhaustion timer pauses. If they were healing, making them run will lose their healing progression.
  • Bloodhound - Yes - The guard injures the survivor and Bloodhound activates.
  • Call of Brine - N/A
  • Coulrophobia - Partially - The guard helps you by injuring the survivor but, if they heal, they must be inside the Knight's terror radius.
  • Dark Devotion - Yes - Injuring a obsession with a guard will transfer your terror radius.
  • Dead Man's Switch - Partially - A guard can help you push off the survivor from the generator to activate Dead Man's Switch more easily.
  • Deathbound - N/A
  • Deerstalker - Partially - Survivor that gets put into the dying state by a guard will activate Deerstalker if the Knight is close enough to the dying survivor.
  • Discordance - N/A
  • Dissolution - Yes - Injuring a survivor with a guard will activate Dissolution. Any survivor that fast vault a pallet will be destroyed inside the Knight's terror radius.
  • Dragon's Grip - N/A
  • Eruption - Yes - If a guard puts a survivor into the dying state then Eruption triggers on the affected generators.
  • Fearmonger - Partially - You can use the guard to force a survivor off the generator and make them run, stopping the Exhaustion timer.
  • Forced Penance - No - Guard hits does not trigger Protection Hits which could be awesome if it did because survivors can take the hit from whoever is being chased by a guard.
  • Gearhead - Yes - The Guard injures the survivor, activating Gearhead.
  • Hangman's Trick - N/A
  • Hex: Blood Favor - Yes - The guard injuring a survivor will activate Blood Favor, blocking any pallets within 24/28/32 metres of that Survivor's location from being pulled down for the next 15 seconds.
  • Hex: Face the Darkness - Yes & N/A - Injuring a survivor with a guard will curse the injured survivor with Hex: Face the Darkness. I'm not sure if Loud Noise Notification works with the patrolling guards.
  • Hex: The Third Seal - Yes - The Guard that injures the survivor applies the Blindness effect permanently until this Hex totem is cleansed.
  • Hoarder - N/A
  • Hysteria - Yes - If a guard puts a healthy survivor into the injured state, Hysteria activates.
  • Infectious Fright - Yes & N/A - If a guard puts the survivor into the dying state, Infectious Fright activates. Any survivor inside the Knight's terror radius will scream. I'm not sure if Loud Noise Notification works though.
  • Iron Maiden - N/A
  • Merciless Storm - Partially - If the survivor get Merciless Storm skill checks, you can use the guard to force them off the generator, blocking the generator.
  • No Way Out - N/A
  • Play With Your Food - N/A
  • Rancor - N/A
  • Remember Me - Yes - A guard that injures the obsession will give you a stack of Remember Me.
  • Save The Best For Last - Partially - Using the Guard to injure a Obsession will save you from losing stacks.
  • Scourge Hook: Gift of Pain - Partially (Positive & Negative effects) - Injuring a healthy survivor, that is affected by Gift of Pain, with a guard will lose the Healing and Repairing speed penalty. A Injured survivor that is affected by Gift of Pain is good because they lose healing progression by being chased by a guard and mangled to leave a lot of blood puddles behind for the killer to track.
  • Septic Touch - Partially - Guard helps you by injuring the survivor. Any survivor that heals inside the knight terror radius will be afflicted by Septic Touch.
  • Sloppy Butcher - Partially - Using the Guard to chase after a Survivor will make them lose their healing progression because of haemorrhage effect, and mangled to leave more blood puddles behind for the killer to track.
  • Spies From The Shadows - N/A
  • Spirit Fury - Yes - Gain a stack by destroying a pallet with a Guard.
  • Stridor - Yes - The guard injures the survivor and activates Stridor.
  • Surveillance - Yes - The guard regressing the generator will trigger Surveillance.

Tips

  • Haemmorhage is great for you because the guard can chase the injured survivor and they will lose their healing progression if they have any.
  • Mangled is great for you because the guard forces survivors to run, leaving a ton of blood behind for you to track down.
  • Exhaustion is great for you because the guard chases the survivor with exhaustion and that will stop the survivor from losing the exhaustion effect.
