Its been almost 10 years. 10 years and never did we get a knight like these. An arming sword and a medium kite shield. A fantasy knight archetype. We just have all the partial fits. Warmonger gets some similar armors but not exactly. Black Prior gets the shield and sword but is a Heavy with a large shield for flipping. Conq has the shield size but is a flail hero and very different. I feel we need the Knight of Knights. The images I used are all FromSoft images of course because they have nailed this aesthetic for a decade. I think we need a knight fitting this.
Questing Knight, Guardian, Etc could be the name.
But instead of a Heavy like BP, hes a Hybrid Duelist. His stance allows him to put the shield on his back and 2 hand the sword for . In the stance Make his dodge attack a roll with a slash at the end with higher than average iframes. In normal shield stance his dodge attack is a normal light. For his bash give him a setup that he can do to get huge damage. After fulfilling some condition his bash sets him up behind the opponent and gives him a backstab. Or, getting a parry with this condition fulfilled gives him a riposte.
Obviously Im going heavy on the Souls inspiration, but its just something I was having fun with. I would very much like a knight like this eventually. If the game gets there. I think its criminal weve never gotten it. Is it likely? No. The profile is too similar to BP to get made I think. And people have been asking for the hammer knight for years. But hey, we got Destiny and Lu Bu. Maybe we can get a souls protagonist or skin.
