Knight Commanders are the most dangerous Knights, as they are usually armed with the Incineration Cannon, which can instantly kill the player on any difficulty except [[Easy]]. Just like [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Knight Commanders tend to jump and fire their Incineration Cannon at the ground, relying on the weapon's massive splash damage. However, they are also the rarest type of Knight, as they only appear in the missions ''[[Shutdown]]'' and ''[[Midnight]]''.

** Mythic Knights are even more powerful and dangerous, as they can be armed with the deadly ''Heartseeker'', an advanced Incineration Cannon that fires tracking charges.


Despite being more armored, Knights are actually less dangerous than in ''Halo 4'', as they now lack energy shields and are no longer capable of teleporting nor throwing grenades. In addition, Knights are considerably rarer as [[Promethean Soldier]]s mostly replace them on the battlefield.
