Knecht earns a 1.0/5.0 rating because he is fundamentally incomplete as a champion. While his Defense-based scaling and 20% innate Critical Hit rate are technically positive attributes, they are attached to a kit that lacks a second skill, a passive, or any form of utility. In a game defined by debuffs like Decrease Defense and crowd control like Stun, a champion who only offers a basic single-target hit is a wasted slot. He ranks at the bottom of every tier list because he provides no path to progression in Dungeons, Clan Boss, or Arena. Compared to other Common or Uncommon champions like Arm

Skills

Bash — Attacks 1 enemy. Has an extra 20% chance of inflicting a critical hit.
