Hedge Knight

The Hedge Knight is a regular titan, appearing in Infinity Blade I. He wears red Iron Armor, his helmet is the Plated Crown, his sword is the Oathborn and his shield is the Silverlight. Aesthetically, his armor is exposing most of his body, and he has lesser armor plating, making him more maneuverable and agile.
==Location==
The Hedge Knight can be encountered on the Courtyard Balcony guarding the chest, The Bridge, and in the Dungeon. He can also be encountered on round 12 of Survival mode.
==Combat==
The Hedge Knight is a fast fighting, yet hard hitting enemy, with a very similar fighting style to other Regular Sized Enemies found in Infinity Blade I. Like other Regular Sized Enemies, he uses lots of flashy spins to attempt to distract you while attacking. But Hedge Knight shouldn't be much of problem after a few encounters with either him or other Regular Sized Enemies, as Hedge Knight has no truly unique traits or attacks. 
==Infinity Blade II==
The Hedge Knight also appeared in Infinity Blade II for a very short time under the name of Iron Hunter, taking on a much less humane personality. Sometime when the Vault of Tears Update was released, this enemy was removed in place for the Iron Lancer, which acts as his spiritual successor. And in the Skycages update, a very different enemy took the name of Iron Hunter. 
==Stepbacks==
Hedge Knight has three Stepbacks
Double Slash 
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Hedge Knight 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 Hedge Knight 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 Hedge Knight 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.

Slash Hilt Bash 
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback Hedge Knight takes a defensive stance, and then starts with a sword slash from the left, then, he hits the center with the hilt of his sword, before finishing with a shield bash from the right. 
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is to dodge the first slash by either ducking or moving to the left, then, right before Hedge Knight can deliver a blow with his hilt, a stab icon will appear on his chest, hitting it will allow you to interrupt his Stepabck and deal extra damage. Alternatively, one can also doge to the right to avoid the first slash, then dodge to the left or right to avoid the hilt bash and then dodge in any direction to avoid the shield bash. Shielding is not advisable here, as the shield bash can go through your guard.

==Combat Tips== 
Hedge Knight is a light, Regular Sized enemy, who can deliver relatively quick attacks and can deal heavy damage. For a quick defeat, prioritize parrying over dodging, sense Hedge Knight moves quick enough that you might not always have enough time dodge out of the way of certain attack chains.
