Plague Knight

Plague Knight from Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows joins the battle!
…

Plague Knight is a projectile zoner that uses customizable bombs to control the match.

Plague Knight does not have tilts or aerials, instead throwing bombs at multiple angles. These can be customized using Potion Menu to take on multiple roles in Plague Knight’s gameplan. Powders allow for different explosion types, such as weak spammable bombs, damaging fire fields, and exploding kill options. Fuses determine how fast bombs explode, with an additional option that causes them to explode upon hitting the floor.

Potion Menu is used to determine what Powders and Fuses are used by Bomb Toss, as well as which Burst is used for Bomb Burst.

A very fast, long range strike that reflects projectiles and can be canceled into itself. It has very low reward on hit, but chains into itself for decent space control. It also is the only physical attack Plague Knight has in the air.

A recovery tool, kill option, or approach tool, depending on which Burst is selected from Potion Menu.

A space control tool to assist in Plague Knight’s zoning. The Kettleleg provides a distraction while Plague Knight sends in bombs, as the opponent must either put time into destroying it or simply deal with occasional annoying projectiles. The droplets spawned by the Kettleleg do essentially nothing damage-wise, but interrupt actions.

Creates six randomized bombs in quick succession. Due to the random nature it can be wildly inconsistant, potentially doing almost nothing or doing incredible damage and knockback. Especially useful at close range, allowing every bomb to connect.
