I've seen a few people say on this sub that they'd like to see a knight archetype for NR, but I wonder what that would actually be and how easy would it be for CDPR to make one.

Right now some of the existing knight cards play into different archetypes. Some of them have shields, some of them are for boosting, a couple are specters, one of them is a redanian with armor mechanics and then there's 2 that can duel. Some of the lesser played cards could probably get a complete rework though.

Dueling is a mechanic that fits well for knights and is often used in the meta so those cards are likely to stay as is. Perhaps have a knight archetype synergize with dueling? Shields also have good synergy with dueling and a few of the knights currently have shields so perhaps shields and dueling would be a good focus for the archetype.

One idea I also just had that would be a unique mechanic not seen in any other faction, would be the ability to give units a knight tag during a match, as in knighting them. I'm not sure if this would be technically feasible with the way the game is programmed as of now, but it could be unique and flavorful. The card Knighthood is one card that could be reworked to grant a knight tag and probably do something else too. Although I kinda like its current ability too (mainly for its Tridam Infantry synergy) and would maybe like it to remain on another card.

Anyway what do you guys think about a knight archetype?
