Information[]

Visual Description[]

Red Knight, befitting of their name, dons a red themed helm and tunic. They are usually portrayed as the most panicked out of the knights. When injured, they can be seen crying or closing their eyes, mouth open.

Magic[]

Splash Attack

"Thunderbolt"

Element: Electricity

Max Hits: Depends on the amount of Magic and how long 360 RT360 Y / PS3 R2PS3 Triangle is held for; maximum Infinite

Damage/Hit: 3 + (0.1 * level) + (magic * 0.4)

Use 360 RT360 Y/PS3 R2PS3 Triangle/Switch RTSwitch X to perform. A lightning bolt is held out in front of you for as long as the button is held. Takes normal Magic cost to start it, but then continues to drain Magic slowly for as long as it is held. Each upgrade adds to the range of the titular "Thunderbolt" Splash Attack, but not to the number of hits, which is affected by how long it can be held until Magic runs out.

Maximum potential with +35 magic ensures 32 hits before it runs out. This locks normal enemies in place while it is active and can affect as many enemies get in range. Although it does less damage per hit than is normal for Splash Attacks, it is unique in being able to hit regular enemies multiple times. This spell is very effective against bosses such as the Conehead Groom and Necromancer, as they can be held in place with it and shocked.

It is also effective in Multiplayer, as it is capable of aligning many enemies at once for safe juggles and combos. For complete utilization of this Splash Attack, the player should be aware that the enemies are briefly knocked down after the Splash Attack ends, allowing some time for the player to flee to a better position. Note that this Splash Attack does not acquire XP from bosses.

Trivia[]

  • In the startup video, Red Knight is the only one not seen using a weapon.
  • Red Knight's "Thunderbolt" Splash Attack shows the bones of the enemies being electrocuted. Also, the Red Knight unlocks the Skeleton, which is coincidental.
  • On the Xbox 360, players could dress up their avatar as the Red Knight by purchasing both the helmet and tunic in the Avatar Store. Due to the Xbox 360 Marketplace shutdown, this is unfortunately no longer possible.
  • In Back Off Barbarian, the Red Knight's mouth is similar to the :3 emote, simiar to Civilian's character portrait.
  • Red Knight appears as an icon in the XBLA version of Castle Crashers, as well as formerly appearing in the small link of Castle Crashers on Steam.
  • In addition to this, Red Knight also appears in the loading screen in the Remastered versions of the game, as well as in Back Off Barbarian.
  • When Red Knight is poisoned, their Splash Attack will appear tinted green.
  • When burning/on fire, Red Knight's Splash Attack will appear a greyish color.
