What it looks like
The Golden Knight is a Champion card that is unlocked from the Executioner's Kitchen (Arena 16). It spawns a single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troop with high hitpoints and moderate damage. The Golden Knight's ability increases his movement speed when no enemies are nearby, and causes him to dash onto enemies in sequence, similar to the Electro Spirit's attack. He resembles a man who has blue eyes, golden hair and eyebrows, is outfitted in gilded breastplate, gauntlets, chainmail and a team-colored belt, and wields an impressively large sword. A Golden Knight card costs 4 Elixir to deploy, and his ability costs an additional 1 Elixir to activate.
Trivia
- The word "Knight" comes from the German "Knecht", meaning servant or vassal. Originally, knights were associated with mounted warriors, later being considered a class of lower nobility, until eventually, knighthood had become associated with the ideals of chivalry, a code of conduct for the perfect courtly Christian warrior. Often, a knight was a vassal who served as an elite fighter or a bodyguard for a lord, with payment in the form of land holdings. In the Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Golden Knight's name translates to "Golden Armored Knight". The Golden Knight is 1 of 20 cards associated with nobility, with the others being Knight, Royal Recruits, Royal Giant, Royal Delivery, Tower Princess, Royal Hogs, Dark Prince, Prince, Raging Prince, Mega Knight, Princess, Royal Ghost, Spirit Empress, Super Knight, Dagger Duchess, Royal Chef, Skeleton King, Archer Queen, and the Little Prince.

- When deployed, he says "Oh hi!". He sings "Golden Knight!" if Dashing Dash is activated while there are no enemies in its range, as well as making a laugh. He also lets out a wail when he dies.
