Cuckoo Knight

Cuckoo Knights are the knights of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Their red-and-blue armour carries the image of a watchful cuckoo, a sign that they refused to be the Academy’s mere servants. In return for their service they were taught glintstone sorceries like Scholar’s Armament and Scholar’s Shield, and they use them in battle.

You find them in Liurnia of the Lakes and on the Bellum Highway, often leading groups of Raya Lucaria Soldiers and Raya Lucaria Foot Soldiers.

How to beat it

Cuckoo Knights are tougher than the soldiers around them, and they can boost their weapon or shield with sorcery. Clear the weaker soldiers first so you can give the knight your full attention. Then fight patiently: dodge the big swings and punish the recovery.

Lore

When the Academy turned on the Carian royal family, the Cuckoos stormed Caria Manor and declared Caria itself their enemy.
