Ability & Special Effects
ABILITY — KNIGHT: Taunting Presence Every 3 seconds, the Knight Dude Taunts 5 nearby enemies to focus their attacks on him.
How to Use Knight Dude
Knight Dude is the game's best tank — 230 Max HP and a 3-second Taunt rotation that keeps five enemies beating on him instead of your team. The official guide says he just wants Toughness and Max HP, so feed him exactly that and nothing else. He is the anchor of our Wave 100+ build: the G.O.A.T.'s threat pattern becomes his problem, not yours. His slow 15 Run Speed means he needs to be placed before the fight starts — repositioning him mid-wave is a losing battle.
