Killer Deep Dive
Knight Add-On Guide
The Knight
Snowball profile for The Knight. Focus on guard path denial.
Core plan
The Knight wins by double-pressure setups on key map sectors. Build add-ons around guard path denial and avoid setups that only look good in highlight moments.
When this guide applies
- You want to maximize guard path denial value rather than generic perk-only pressure.
- Your recent losses come from failing to convert snowball windows consistently.
- Turn one hook into two-pressure states.
- Punish rescue greed without losing macro.
- Use short slug windows only when conversion is immediate.
Specific add-ons to consider
Iridescent Company Banner
Blocks windows on the patrol path after summoning, blocks windows vaulted by the hunted survivor for others, and blocks Exit Gates for the hunted survivor during the Hunt.
Best when: Lockdown-heavy hunt setups where path denial forces survivors into predictable escape lanes.
Knight's Contract
After completing an order, the guard lingers briefly and can start a Hunt if a survivor is detected during that window.
Best when: Follow-through macro pressure where completed orders still threaten nearby objectives.
Call to Arms
Increases patrol path maximum length and drawing speed.
Best when: Long-path zoning that reaches key tiles faster and pressures wider map sectors per summon.
Perk pairings
Common mistakes
- Common leak: predictable guard patterns that survivors read early.
- Overloading niche add-ons that reduce consistency in normal queue states.
- Ignoring map-state win condition while chasing extra mechanical value.
