Knight Templar

The Knight Templar is a regular titan, appearing in Infinity Blade I and Infinity Blade II. The Knight Templar wears the Oroku helmet and Leather Armor, and wields the Norsal Sheild and Bolt sword. He is similar in appearance to Rogue Knight, sporting the same set of Leather Armor. Making them the only two enemies in the series that are not the same character to share the same armor. 
==Location Infinity Blade I==
Knight Templar can be randomly encountered at The Courtyard Balcony, The Bridge, and the Dungeon. He is also fought on round 6 and round 10 of Survival Mode, making him the only enemy to appear twice in the 20-round loop. 
==Infinity Blade II==
The Knight Templar appears once again in Infinity Blade II, in a nigh identical state to how he appeared in Infinity Blade II. He is fairly uncommon compared to other enemies in Infinity Blade II, but is overall unchanged. 
==Combat==
The Rogue night is normal sized, fast fighting enemy, who will often use kicks, and shield bashes during combat, Rogue Knight fights nearly identically to other light Normal Sized Titans. And is overall rather unremarkable and has no unique traits or abilities. 
==Stepbacks==
Double Slash 
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Knight Templar moves back, then delivers a diagonal slash from the left, and then another diagonal Slash from the right.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, by far the easiest is to simply parry the first left slash by swiping to the left. This will interrupt the Stepback and allow you to do damage. Alternatively, you can also dodge to the left, and then right to avoid the first and second slash respectively, or duck under both provided you are using Dual Weapons. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Knight Templar can still deal damage if he has elemental attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield or gem.

Bash Kick Slash
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Knight Templar moves back, then delivers a shield bash from the right, following up quickly with a kick to the center, and finishing with a slash to from the left. 
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is dodge in any direction to avoid the shield bash, dodge to the left or right to avoid the kick, and then duck or dodge to the left to avoid the final swing, or parry it by swiping to the left, whichever is easier. Shielding is not advisable here, as the shield bash can go through your guard. So, if you are going to shield, only do it for the first attack, and make sure you have a corresponding elemental defense shield or gem so he does not damage you though your guard.

==Combat Tips== 
The Knight Templar is a light, regular sized enemy, who can deliver relatively quick attacks and can deal heavy damage. When facing off against him in Infinity Blade II, it is advisable to use Dual Weapons, as you can duck under the majority of attacks, allowing you to beat him with minimal effort. When facing off against him in Infinity Blade I, prioritize parrying over dodging, sense Knight Templar moves quick enough that you might not always have enough time dodge out of the way of certain attack chains.
