Mega Knight coach

Mega Knight is a defender that turns into a push. Played well it's a counter-push engine; played badly it's 7 elixir walking into a trap.

Updated 14 October 2026

Mega Knight lands with splash damage, jumps to new targets and survives a lot. Most decks use it on defence first, then send the survivor across the bridge with support.

Because it's heavy, a Mega Knight deck has to manage elixir carefully. Against it, the key is not to feed it a swarm and not to drop your answer where it can jump on it.
