Mecha Knights are creations supposedly made by [[Gremlin]]s to protect themselves during Clockworks maintenance. In Tier 3, Mecha Knights may unleash 4 projectiles or bombs when they activate their charge attack. All of the Mecha Knights have the unfortunate habit of [[shock]]ing themselves, damaging themselves in the process; however, they can then pass that shock to their enemies or an allied [[Lichen#Quicksilver|Quicksilver]]. Their swords are based on the form of a static edge or hot edge.

Their swords are based on the form of a [[Static Edge]] or [[Hot Edge]], with the exception of normal Mecha Knights, which use the [[Bolted Blade]], and Mecha Knight kits, which use the [[Tempered Calibur]]. The unfriendly Mecha Knights also seem to use the [[Iron Buckler]] shield, while the Mecha Knight kits use the [[Great Defender]].

Mecha Knights are a type of monster found in the Clockworks.

Traits

Mecha Knights are creations supposedly made by Gremlins to protect themselves during Clockworks maintenance. In Tier 3, Mecha Knights may unleash 4 projectiles or bombs when they activate their charge attack. All of the Mecha Knights have the unfortunate habit of shocking themselves, damaging themselves in the process; however, they can then pass that shock to their enemies or an allied Quicksilver. Their swords are based on the form of a Static Edge or Hot Edge, with the exception of normal Mecha Knights, which use the Bolted Blade, and Mecha Knight kits, which use the Tempered Calibur. The unfriendly Mecha Knights also seem to use the Iron Buckler shield, while the Mecha Knight kits use the Great Defender.
