Leyndell Knight Notes & Tips

Leyndell Knights wielding Partisans the typical spear-wielding knight moveset, with the addition of the Ash of War: Thunderbolt skill, which calls down a bolt of lightning (can be fired in rapid succession).
Leyndell Knights wielding Knight's Greatswords have the typical sword-wielding knight moveset, with the addition of the Ash of War: Lightning Slash skill, which entails a harsh downward swing that calls down a bolt of lightning. While the swing itself has surprisingly limited reach, the bolt of lightning has impressive tracking and is capable of striking a player that is quite far away from the knight.
A few Leyndell Knights wielding Knight's Greatswords close to the entrance to Leyndell, Royal Capital are also capable of using the Ash of War: Determination skill, drastically buffing the physical and stamina damage dealt by their next attack. While the buff is active, they gain a rushing sweep attack that is difficult to dodge, due to its large hitbox and peculiar timing.
All Leyndell Knights in Altus Plateau are capable of using the Rejection incantation, which they often do to knock away overly aggressive players.
The Frenzied Leyndell Knights south of the entrance of the Volcano Cave can use The Flame of Frenzy and the Howl of Shabriri Incantations.
