Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The '''Armored Knight''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.


==Story==
The '''Armored Knight''' is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
During the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] in [[Hollow Bastion]], [[Sora]] has to single-handedly defeat a thousand Heartless, many of which are Armored Knights. Later, during a face-off against [[Saïx]], Sora is surrounded by a group of Armored Knights summoned by Saïx, who expects him to fight them and release the hearts contained inside them. It is then that Sora and company are dragged into the [[Realm of Darkness]] by [[Maleficent]].
 
Armored Knights appear in the scene in the [[Hall of Empty Melodies]], but do not appear in any other part of the world.

The Armored Knight's name is a direct reference to its appearance, which is reminiscent of armor-clad knights.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Armored Knights appear for the first time towards the Battle of 1000 Heartless in [[Hollow Bastion]]. In the battle proper, Sora has to single-handedly defeat a thousand Heartless, many of which are Armored Knights. Later, during a face-off against [[Saïx]], Sora is surrounded by a group of Armored Knights summoned by Saïx, who expects him to fight them and release the hearts contained inside them. It is then that Sora and company are dragged into the Realm of Darkness by [[Maleficent]].
Armored Knights appear in the scene in The Hall of Empty Melodies, but don't appear in any other part of the world.


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
The Armored Knight has low HP and is not especially aggressive, however it always appears in groups. Smaller groups can be dealt with using [[Magnet]] or [[Thunder]] magic, however in the Battle of the 1000 Heartless it is more efficient to utilize its powerful '''Rising Sun''' [[Reaction Command]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Armored Knights are somewhat more dangerous due to having more powerful attacks, however [[Limit Form]] provides an easy way to take out many at once with [[Sonic Blade]] while replenishing HP in the process.
;Attacks
 
*'''Tripping Slash''': Lunging sword attack
The Armored Knight will often use its '''Jump Rush''' attack against distant opponents, as well as counterattacking with '''Spin Rush''', both of which will display its Reaction Command.
*'''Spin Rush''': Horizontal spin attack
{{Atk-o|KH2}}
*'''Jump Rush''': Jumping sword thrust
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Tripping Slash'''|足払い斬り|<br>Ashiharai Kiri}}|Physical|—|x0.5{{KHII}}<br>x0.65{{FMII}}|O|Tilts body to the side and swings sword in a sweeping motion.}}
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Spin Rush'''|回転突進|<br>Kaiten Tosshin}}|Physical|—|x0.5{{KHII}}<br>x1.0{{FMII}}|O|Displays sword and rushes forward while spinning sideways.}}

==Other appearances==
;Reaction Commands
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
*'''Rising Sun: '''Sora will rise into the air, then soar through the Knight. You can use this move five times consecutively without touching the ground, and it can be used against other enemies once it has been started.
Saïx is shown summoning a line of Armored Knights in the opening movie of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.


==Notes and references==
They have very low HP, and their [[Reaction Command]], Rising Sun, is very powerful. However, they do tend to swarm in large numbers.
