Black knight

Black knights are a deck based on self burn to activate special effects that give them an edge. They are a synchro based archetype and are mainly level 3 and 4. They are used by Takai tomare in Yu-gi-oh! S heroes.

Design
Black knights are all warriors with black or dark toned armour. They usually have swords, with the exception of black knight-reaper and black knight-mennki. Their synchro monsters have multiple swords.

Play style
Black knight monsters rely on taking effect damage from either player. When you take effect damage, their ability activates. Each monster also has a secondary effect that deals damage to you but does something else, meaning that they can synergize with each other. They mainly use the continuous spell card, black knight deal of sacrifice, which buffs up their atk by 1000, but you take 1000 damage each time you summon a monster.
