黄金圣骑

“A warrior with luxurious hair and outstanding flexibility. Demonstrates his aerobics skills on demand.”

The Golden Knight card is unlocked upon reaching King Level 14. He is a single-target melee troop who targets grounded units. He has high hitpoints and moderate damage per second. Being a 英雄 card, he will stay out of the player's card cycle while he is deployed, and only return once he is destroyed. The Golden Knight's ability increases his movement speed when no enemies are nearby, and causes him to dash onto enemies in sequence, similar to the Electro Spirit's attack. He has golden hair and is outfitted in gilded breastplate and gauntlets, as his name implies, and wields an impressively large sword. A Golden Knight card costs 4 Elixir to deploy, and his ability costs an additional 1 Elixir.

Ability: Dashing Dash[]

“Dashes towards his enemies and chain attacks everything in his path!”

The Golden Knight has a special ability, accessible from the rightmost side of the screen just above the player's card slots in battle. After a 1 second delay, the Golden Knight activates his "Dashing Dash", gaining a movement speed boost if he is not within 6 tiles of an enemy unit. Once a unit is in range, he dashes to it quickly, then dashes towards any other units within a 6-tile radius (even if the previous unit was not destroyed). His dashes have invulnerability and deal increased damage, like the Bandit. He cannot dash into the same troop per ability use. He will stop dashing after dashing 10 times or if no other valid targets are within range. The ability goes on an 8 second cooldown after the duration ends. The Dashing Dash ability costs 1 Elixir to activate.

Strategy[]

For the purposes of determining Elixir trades, the Golden Knight and his activated Ability count as 5 Elixir, as the player must play the 4 Elixir Knight and then spend a further 1 on his Ability.
While he runs to the tower, use a cheap card like Skeletons to make him dash from the tower into said cheap card. If done correctly, this can be used to cause him to chain dash into the King's Tower and activate it. Because of this, it is not recommended to use his Dashing Dash if there isn't a target.
For the reason mentioned above, he can act like an Electro Spirit: Potentially lots of value, but can also be a double edged sword if you accidentally activate the opponent's King Tower.
Though this isn't recommended due to the cooldown, the Golden Knight's ability can be used to counter swarms.
The Golden Knight is unique in the fact that he can dash onto multiple targets, like a Knight and Tower, and still attack the original target. Because of this, it can be hard to defend against. For example, if a Valkyrie is approaching a tower, the defender will use a Knight to avoid all damage, but if a Golden Knight is approaching and the defender places a Knight close to the tower, it will dash onto the tower, making the defense less valuable.
If the player has a unit on the board that they do not want the enemy Golden Knight to reach, they must play more ground units as far away from it as possible to entice the Knight to charge into the more expendable units instead.
Due to his low damage output, a glass cannon or mini-tank such as Mini-P.E.K.K.A. or Prince can easily take him out.
Once the Golden Knight uses ability, he will not target any units behind him unless they are in range. In other words. The Dashing Dash ability only chains to the troops that the Golden Knight can see.
its important to note that his charge cannot be reset or cancelled by Zap, Log or other things that will normally stop a charge.
