Pink Knight is one of the 31 Playable Characters in the game Castle Crashers. Their magical attacks are Non-Elemental and their starting weapon is the NG Lollipop.
Information
Description
They feature Pink and white Knight-like armor/tunic, joyful eyes and face, pink heart on their chest (Which replaces a Cross/Plus-Sign), and lipstick kiss marks on the facial area. For some reason, unlike the other knights, it isn't as common for their face to change expressions.
Magic
Splash Attack
"Rainbow Chain"Element: Non-Elemental
Max Hits: 4 per upgrade level (max of 16)
Damage/Hit: Base Magic Damage x 0.5
Use // to perform. Rainbow Chain is a Splash Attack that shoots 4 segments of a rainbow which cause enemies to perform a peace sign. It is unique not only because of the stunlock and rapid damage, but it is the only other Splash Attack besides the "Saw Trap" Splash Attack (used by Fencer and Industrialist) that hits more than 7 times per cast. It also has the longest range of all Splash Attacks in the game, per segment. The cost of this spell increases as the Magic stat increases, making it impossible to cast this spell more than twice per mana bar. This Splash Attack hits 3 times per enemy.
Magic Projectile
"Stuffed Animal"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage
Use // to perform. Throws a chubby penguin or a pink hamster (as seen at the end of the game) in an arc type motion. Stuffed Animals can also perform Critical Strikes.
Air Projectile
"Stuffed Animal"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage
Use , /, /, to perform. An Air Projectile where the knight throws a chubby penguin or a pink weasel (as seen at the end of the game) in an arc type motion. Stuffed Animals can also Critical Strike. When used in the air, it falls at a 60° angle rather than a 45° angle, like most other projectiles, which only makes it more effective, because it will hit enemies that stand close to you where you can't hit them with projectiles at Magic Jump height. Useful for doing Insane Mode alone without taking too much damage at all.
Elemental Infusion
"Armor Pierce"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage^2 + Base Melee Damage^2
Use // to perform. This attack pierces armor, and it deals two times normal damage. That means it deals as much damage to a Barbarian or Thief on Normal Mode as it does to a Stoveface or Brute on Insane Mode.
Magic Jump
"Pink Weasel Jump"Element: Non-Elemental
Damage: Base Magic Damage
Use // to perform. A pink weasel (as seen at the end of the game) comes up from the ground beneath the player and propels them into the air.
Tips
- Pink Knight's Splash Attack doesn't flinch Beefys; because of this, they have a faster Beefy AI Manipulation.
- Use the Man Catcher if you wish to Critical Strike without any losses to your Magic damage output; in the late game on Insane Mode. If not, and you wish to increase Magic damage output, use the NG Golden Sword.
