Nope, I Still Have No Idea How To Knight.

You basically just want to drop his guards to push survivors away from loops. The guard doesn't need to trigger a hunt, as long as the survivor moves away from the loop. You really don't have time to make complex paths.

The other use for his guards I found is to place them down before picking someone up against flashlights or sabo since they can't flashlight save or sabo without consquences due to the guards.

I have had moderate success with him by playing as an m1 killer and treating his power as an utility skill rather than a conventional active ability.

I send them to scout or disrupt progress while I'm otherwise occupied chasing or defending a different objective. I hook, send a guard on one direction and go the other way, making survivors waste more time to get to the hook.

Also I switch a lot between just chasing and mindgaming the loops and using my guard.

Skilled survivors often will immediately abandon a loop expecting me to try to use my guard, only for me to follow them and hit them in the deadzone. Next time I'll use the guard after entering the loop. A good trick here is to move through the loop until leaving it forces the survivor back where he came from, to an already spent loop.

Also learn which pallets to leave down. Some become dead traps.

RPD front desk pallet for instance becomes impossible to escape from and very easy to get a double tap on.

Heavy hex or heavy chase loadouts work well for me. I do prefer hex build.

He is still not quite as strong as other killers, but I feel I can mostly do well with him in most situations.

I wish his ability were able to be set a guard like Pinhead's ability but you are slowed charging/placing

He's got a point though, you know? The devs literally made a campy killer and you are asking them not to use it for that?

I love the knight but I can see why some people don't know how to use it. For the longest time I waited to have a killer that would make me abandon huntress and I think I finally got mine.

I have gone against some very experienced players from my region and I don't think he's that weak. He surely has a very territorial playstyle sometimes, but even vs really good survivors he doesnt seem that underwhelming. I think the more you play him and understand his power, the more you see that he's not that simple. He is the strongest on the edges of the map and the weakest in the middle (sometimes you need 2-3 guards to down someone), you have sometimes to commit to people doing gens on the outskirts of the map which can lead to tunneling. He's a bottom A or top B for me.

Hold w makes his power obsolete in chases. People just run from tile to tile and you are wasting time not even getting rid of pallets. You are not doing anything basically while gens pop.

I play him as m1 killer and use guards to push survs away from certain areas in most cases. I also try not to spend too much time setting a route.

He is effective at camping tho and 3 gen scenarios are unwinable against him since you can just spam his power.

And I don't like how those feel like his biggest strengths. I love how he looks and sounds like but I feel like I have to play dirty more often than with other killers I play if I don't want to be sh on.

Honestly that was what I thought. But shift+w is far too easy against this and as long as the survivor is not a potato you will not get them with this.

This is the better way to go.

You want to use information perks like his own "Nowhere to hide", "A Nurses Calling" or other stuff like that to interrupt survivors. Sloppy Butcher helps tons because you get good value from interrupting a healing with your guard even if they are not caught. Try to cut them off from the next strong loop and then sandwich them with your guard. You need to plan ahead with the Knight and use the ability to hold two places at once.

Do not expect the Guard to do things on their own. If you get a hit in the distance that's fine but never to be expected. However note that chasing survivors off generators can wast plenty of their time not just the guard hunt but also the time it takes to get back to the gen...

Oh how I wish my teammates would get that...most survivors I play with just hide until the hunt is over only for the Knight to spot them during that time...

Overall you should use the Knights power for interrupts and the Carnifex to smash pallets. Only go for the "loop-drop" when you are at a very bad tile (shack) to pressure the survivor into a better tile. I also had good success by baiting with this: Run into the loop, the survivor holds shift+w, I send my guard to a nearby gen with other survivors, switch target and force the new survivor to run into my guard for an easy first hit.

Putting a qualifying word infront of the Word 'Camping' isnt rocket science tho and ye, they are both camping.

Just a specific type of camping. it isnt hard to understand.

Protect three close gens with Eruption, Call of brine and never leave that area..heard that is very hard to play against. Have not tried it myself.

Yep which is why I don't use his power in chase most of the time.

Yeah. Proxi camping means basically..... uh... If you dare to go back to an area you previously were at (which means if you dare to return to a gen and not let them work in peace) you are guilty of proxy camping. I mean there is no shortage of new words people can come up with.

He's a bad killer. Imagine doing a tome dedicated to him having to play challenges for him. Needs buffs and I don't know how to do that without making him overpowered.
