"This Gotcha Borg is warrior in the Knight Borg corps. He wields a Broad Sword and his shield repels any attack!"
Analysis/Strategy
Using this Borg
Normal Knight has a very short range projectile which is usually damning for low cost borgs because of their low HP but being of the Knight Tribe he's got a fair defense rating and the fantastic bonus of carrying a shield. Bullets and explosives just glance off his shield so he has no trouble approaching enemies by either air dashing towards them or simply walking. His x attack has him fling his shield like a shot put which sounds like a bad idea but actually doubles as a great dodge move because he can immediately use it sans the shield to turn on a dime. His x attack gives him great mobility on the ground. A viable strategy when in mid to close range is to pirouette left and right of an enemy whith the X attack. The enemy will constantly be hammered by the shield while you're relatively safe from projectiles and free to charge your B slash attack.
Against this Borg
Normal Knight is hardly a threat when in the hands of the CPU, but they're a real nuisance for long range borgs because of their shields. If you have the option then close quarters combat is always the best course of action for taking out them out though if you're using borgs with no physical attacks like Command Girl, Gattling Gunner, and Gattling Tank then the only way to bypass their shield is to wait for them to attack you at close range or to litterally jump over their heads and unload a full magazine into them as their shields only protect from frontal attacks and Normal Knight is completely vulnerable to attacks from above.
