Tier

heavy

Weakness

Super Shotgun at close range; Rocket Launcher for splash damage. Stay mobile.

Overview

Massive muscular demons that charge and leap at the Slayer with devastating melee attacks. Hell Knights are fast and relentless, closing distance quickly. They have no ranged attacks, so maintaining distance while pumping damage is key.

Strengths

  • +Extremely fast ground speed -- closes distance rapidly.
  • +Leaping slam attack covers massive distance.
  • +High health pool for a heavy-tier demon.

Weaknesses

  • -No ranged attacks at all -- distance neutralizes them.
  • -Leap attack is telegraphed and punishable on landing.
  • -Vulnerable to sustained DPS when kited at mid-range.

Combat Tips

  • 1Dash sideways when they leap -- their ground pound has a small AoE but is easy to dodge.
  • 2Super Shotgun + Ballista quick-swap melts them in 2-3 cycles.
  • 3Use jump pads and monkey bars to maintain distance -- they cannot follow aerial routes.
  • 4Kite them through Fodder demons for easy Flame Belch armor while fighting.
