FAQ

Q: Can the Knight use “Advance” to move without performing the attack?

A: Yes. (source)

Q: If I use "Defense Training" instead of exhausting shield, can I still exhaust the same shield during the same attack?

A: Yes; nothing prevents the Knight from exhausting "Defense Training" and then exhausting the shield during the same attack.(source)

Errata 1.0:

  • Class card, Knight, “Guard”: This card should read, “When a monster moves into an empty space adjacent to you, exhaust this card to interrupt that monster’s activation and perform an attack with a Melee weapon. After this attack is resolved, if the monster was not defeated, it may continue its activation.”
