Block Tales Banished Knight fight facts
Banished Knight is a defense check before the castle route gets serious. The 1 Defense means lazy chip damage feels worse than it did against normal enemies.
Mobile also changes the rhythm. If you are used to always acting before an enemy, this fight can catch you healing one turn too late.
- Use reliable damage instead of tiny chip hits.
- Heal before Mobile timing gets another turn.
- Do not waste SP if normal attacks already clear the last HP.
- Treat this as practice for armored route enemies.
Defense and card choice
The defense value is low, but early builds often feel it. Cards that punch through or raise damage by enough to change the turn count matter more than scattered weak hits.
If Banished Knight keeps dragging the fight out, the problem is usually damage quality, not a lack of random items.
- Power Stab is cleaner than repeated low damage.
- Linebounce is not the answer unless other enemies are involved.
- HP+ helps if Mobile turns keep punishing missed guards.
- Save expensive resources for Cruel King if the attempt is already stable.
Why the shop version matters
The later Telamon's Manor shop version gives this page value after Chapter 1. Banished Knight sells several cards that change support, elemental, and alternate-weapon planning.
Do not confuse the boss page with only the Snowy Thicket fight. Players coming back later may be looking for Free Ice, Launcher, Slingshot, Charge DEF, or Deep Focus pricing.
- Fight role: early defense and Mobile check.
- Shop role: midgame card access.
- Collection role: Free Ice and related card planning.
- Route role: bridge between Chapter 1 and later build choices.

Chapter
Chapter 1
Block Tales Chapter 1, Storming the Castle, runs from the Caves into Roadtown, Snowy Thicket, and Blackrock Castle. The chapter teaches Ball, Dynamite, keys, dungeon routing, and ends with Cruel King and the Ice Dagger.
Location
Snowy Thicket
Block Tales Snowy Thicket is the Chapter 1 route from Roadtown toward Blackrock Castle. It contains the Snowy Thicket Mines, Accountant Jim, Dynamite, wildlife pressure, and the Banished Knight mini-boss. The area tests whether players can save enough SP for the castle.
Location
Telamon's Manor
Block Tales Telamon's Manor is the Chapter 3 haunted manor route after Cemetery and before Catacombs and Dream World. It connects Telamon story context, Greed, the Solitude/Sorrow route naming issue, Sword Toss in the haunted basement, Amber's HP Drain shop source, and Banished Knight's later card shop.
Boss
Cruel King
Block Tales Cruel King is the Chapter 1 final boss in Blackrock Castle. He has 30 HP, uses freeze pressure, can summon Loyal Knight or Crossbow Crony, and punishes players who enter the throne room with no SP plan.
Card
Power Stab
Block Tales Power Stab is the first real SP check for sword builds. It costs 0 BP and 2 SP, adds 1 damage over a normal Sword hit, and rewards players who can land the tighter action command instead of spending turns on plain attacks.
Card
Charge DEF
Block Tales Charge DEF is a 1 BP action card that costs 3 SP and gives Halved Damage for 3 turns. It is a setup defense card, not a panic heal. Use it before a known damage window, especially when a boss or heavy enemy is about to punish the party. It is sold by Gene for 100 TIX and Banished Knight for 50 TIX, with no sell value. Charge DEF is worth the SP when it prevents more damage than a normal heal would fix. It is weak if you cast it after the dangerous turn has already happened.
Card
Free Ice
Block Tales Free Ice is a 1 BP action card that costs 1 SP and gives Enchant: Ice level 1 for the next attack. It is found on Pit Floor [20], sold by Banished Knight for 150 TIX, and can drop from several Chapter 1 enemies at 1.2%.
Card
Launcher
Block Tales Launcher is a 0 BP action card that replaces Ball with an area attack. It applies DEF Down level 1 for 3 turns to the target, hits adjacent enemies for reduced splash damage, and is sold by Tai and Banished Knight.
