imo knight’s kiting ability is unstable alone with his items alone but is sufficient with broken windows/flywheel (I’m more towards broken windows as his items semi count as a flywheel) this is where I think knight’s main speciality comes in where he helps the character on chair have a chance of rebound with his shield (therefore he is able to bring broken windows and borrowed time) his main difference in rescue compared to other rescuers such as merc or fo is his ability for the person on chair to have a chance for rebound which is not much but enough in situations for example against ivy and other hunters who may choose to target the survivor on chair however personally I don’t think he can replace the traditional rescuers as ofc they are more stable but I would put knight below merc fo wilding equal to gravekeeper (situational) and above journalist (prob below weepy as well imo) as a rescuer role so maybe in the competitive scene he could be picked in a r3 situation with the 3 perma bans now however as for a buff maybe they could buff the time period for the predictions for items for him to transition better into pallets and windows but I think overall he’s provides a new format for rescue which is his main speciality which would be interesting to see how it goes
5:45 yes you can, however the knight gains distance from the whiff, plus if that first predict is an attack predict you'll get stunned and the knight will also get the stalemate prediction with the speedboosts, they run on the same timer even if you do the second prediction at the end of the 4 second window, which is ideal
so much of this video is "knight should be winning the midngame" even tho his arguments just make it sound like a 60/40 at best knight sided mindgame anyway. just becuase winning a mindgame is good (obviously) doesnt mean knight's ability has any more merit than survs who are already meta. mindgame based characters just fundamentally arent consistent enough unless the risk reward is ridiculous, which for knight it is not 16:30 this whole part about hunters already using their ability just makes that mindgame hunter sided, and wax specifically has basically infinite meter so if its short walls he can just hold it down anyway 18:55 even the rescue isnt much better than a tide turner. imo knight is the fools gold of survivors, he does everything decently but there are characters who are better at everything he can do. as a campy hunter its not even that useful if the hunter knows what chairs he can make a rescue through a wall
Hope someone else reacts to this video so theres are three zeuses.

you skipped when he was using his gameplay with explanations for things 😓
Yeah he missed the best part such as the kite against Wax.
Lmao i just saw the knight video a few minutes ago 😂
Zeusception
5:59 yes
