The Armored Knight is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts χ.
Story
Kingdom Hearts II
During the Battle of the 1000 Heartless in Hollow Bastion, Sora has to single-handedly defeat a thousand Heartless, many of which are Armored Knights. Later, during a face-off against Saïx, Sora is surrounded by a group of Armored Knights summoned by Saïx, who expects him to fight them and release the hearts contained inside them. It is then that Sora and company are dragged into the Realm of Darkness by Maleficent.
Armored Knights appear in the scene in the Hall of Empty Melodies, but do not appear in any other part of the world.
Design
An Armored Knight, true to its name, is a very thin, humanoid Heartless clad from head to toe in black, grey, and silver armor. Its spherical, pitch-black head and glowing, yellow eyes are visible in its helmet, and there are two red spirals decorating its visor. It also carries a sword with a gold guard and handle. Its Heartless emblem is on its abdomen.
The Armored Knight's name is a direct reference to its appearance, which is reminiscent of armor-clad knights.
Strategy
- Attacks
- Tripping Slash: Lunging sword attack.
- Spin Rush: Horizontal spin attack.
- Jump Rush: Jumping sword thrust.
- Reaction Commands
- Rising Sun: Sora will rise into the air, then soar through the Knight. This move can be used five times consecutively without touching the ground, and it can be used against other enemies once it has been started.
They have very low HP, and their Reaction Command, Rising Sun, is very powerful. However, they tend to swarm in large numbers.
Other appearances
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Saïx is shown summoning a line of Armored Knights in the opening movie of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
