Wanted to do this after Chapter 5, slight spoilers, but nothing major, just like 2 random unimportant things they do

For those who are not fans of DELTARUNE, here is a summary the Roaring Knight's powers and abilities

1. Extreme levels of raw strength and speed

The Knight has clashed with the main bosses and heroes multiple times, and struck them fast and hard enough to instantly knock them down to a state beyond normal recovery and before they could ever react. They are stronger than every other character in Deltarune, and are a threat to entire dark worlds. Even your strongest OCs, realistically and at best, are comparable or on par with the Knight. Additionally, they are tough enough for any normal strike from weapons to be basically meaningless.

2. Dark Magic and forming things from darkness

The Roaring Knight can create what seems to be just about anything by making magic things with darkness, such as swords that can fly egregiously fast, crystals that shatter into numerous smaller projectiles, bubbles of darkness that can hold and suspend people inside of them, etc. The Knights attacks are magic, and deal high damage to your very soul, with normal defenses such as armor doing very little against the Knights attacks. Only very specific magic armors can defend against the Knights powerful magic, and even still only mitigate damage rather than prevent it.

3. (Kinda) breaking the rules of magic systems

The Knight has sort of shown they possess to ability to somewhat defy the "laws" of their worlds magic and combat on a somewhat meta level, such as slashing down high amounts of damage to essentially make them nothing, defying the otherworldly power of "determination" (which otherwise should guarantee victory) to force you to lose, and things of that nature.

4. Cutscene magic (/j)

If a character attempts to battle the Knight in a cutscene, they are automatically guaranteed to lose to the Roaring Knight by some bullshit insta-kill they pulled outta their Roaring ass

Have fun and don't get into cutscene with them

Two words

Ultima Alloy

Ultima Alloy is a mixture of Magisteel (Magic resistance), Resisteel (Lasers and extreme heat resistance), and Tyrant’s Gold (Physical Resistance).

And yes, I'm aware that the Knight is "OP". They are nigh-impossible to beat by design because Toby Fox needs to make an interesting main villain who can properly fight against something as broken as Determination.

Magisteel could put up somewhat of a defense, but the only armor that can meaningfully defend against the Knight in Deltarune is the Shadow Mantle, as it greatly defends against the Knight's dark and star attacks in specific. All Deltarune armors (excluding a few) defend against magic to some degree, so simply being resistant to magic in general isn't enough. It could reduce damage taken and perhaps allow extra blows to be tanked, but only a few. As I said, physical defense doesn't really matter against the Knight, so Resisteel and Tyrants Gold would only put up a small defense if the Knight got hand-to-hand, and even then, they have been shown to pierce extremely powerful armors with their blade.

For 3, I think the only reason they were able to do that was because of Flowery's fake stats

I think he was referring to how Dark Worlds aren't considered real rather than his stats nor actually being that high, and he just is that powerful because the whole world is kinda make-believe and he just simply willed himself to be so

By that logic, why couldn't the other darkness be able to do that

Quite simply because they don't have the will Flowery has due to him still being a living thing and not an object like other Darkners

This is moreso a theory of mine, but I also believe the power of Darkners depends on how valued they were by Lightners

King was the most well-known and valued card of the deck in the many games played in the classroom

Queen was a laptop who was taken and used by many Lightners, all of which used her frequently and loved doing so

Tenna was the TV of the house, who was watched for enjoyment every day and literally does what he does out of the nostalgia and great number of memories the Dreemurrs have with him, probably even moreso due to Kris making the fountain and having a connection with him

Flowery was at the center of Asgores flowers and was given extreme attention, care, and love as Asgore spent so much of his time taking care of them, he talked to them, went out of his way to keep them alive, and has them on full display in his room, given more care than his own amenities like his bed and TV

ohhh that makes sense

I also think this explains the ramp upwards in power as the chapters go on, with each world having more and more loved Darkners as bosses

To add to this

I also wanted to bring up the most powerful Darkner so far, Gerson, as Gerson was literally a person with a family and friends, with Alvin and Ms. Boom loving him deeply, he was a much-loved teacher to the kids at the school, wrote the highly praised Lord of the Hammer books and touching sermons that earned the awe and love of many, and was just generally liked by basically everyone.

All of that comes together to make him the ultimate manifestation of that love, he literally deals tens of thousands of damage and can blitz even the likes of the Titan all while still smiling and having fun rather than going all-out

I mean I’ve beaten the knight like 5 times…

As long as we're not in a cutscene, we should be fine

Wait... stories are all just written and scripted... they're basically... really long cutscenes.

We're gonna die.

Wait...

Cutscene Bill...

Axil, my guy is literally mahoraga and can regen any part of him self and/or clone himself and has a a literal magic staff with a sentient magic crystal which basically ended the universe and it had to reset it, so uh yeah I think axil can take on asgore(that’s a joke I don’t actually think that asgore is the knight :P)

You didn't play chapter 5, did you?

I don’t got steam nor is watch anyone play it yet no spoilers please
