Shielded Fool

Behaviour and Tactics
Cautiously walks towards The Knight, raising its shield when they come close, which blocks any damage from the front (except for Spells). If the Knight moves too close, they may back off a few steps.

After taking a hit from the shield, or waiting long enough with the Knight in front of them, they will lunge forward followed by a slash. Occasionally then lunge and slash a second time. Their attacks are very telegraphed and can be dodged easily; the second swing is only slightly faster than then first one. Bait them into attacking, then counter-attack while they recover or jump over/dash through them and hit them from behind. When the player jumps above them while they are not attacking, they will use their shield to protect themselves from above.

Alternatively, since they will only raise their shield at a certain distance, ranged attacks such as Vengeful Spirit, Grubberfly's Elegy, and even Dash Slash can be used to dispose of them easily.
