Knight

Knights are Demons.

Black, Steel, Doom, and Blood Knights.

These melee battlers stand at the upper end of the monster charts in Diablo. They are heavily armored, deal substantial damage, and have a very high to/hit, making them quite dangerous in close quarters, despite their relatively slow attack rate. They move slowly, hesitating every few steps, and approach in perfectly straight lines, making them quite vulnerable to arrows or projectile spells. Rogues are advised to sound out levels by firing their arrows off into the distance; knights are easy to hit and kill from well off the screen.

Movement Speed

Characters walk at 0.4 speed. See the Diablo Characters page other swing speeds, casting speeds, and other useful character speed break points.

• Knights move fairly slowly since they pause and hesitate frequently between steps. They approach in straight lines, like Skeletons or Zombies, and are thus very easy to line up with arrows or projectile spells.
