According to the 2.6 beta, the Black Serpent Knight was once a trusted guard of high standing. The official description states that it “could wield the power of the winds.” Meanwhile, when its attacks hit shielded characters, “they will become faster and stronger at the cost of their own health.”

While HoYoverse has yet to reveal details on the upcoming enemy type, the video above showcases how deadly the Black Serpent Knight will be. Not only does each colossal sword swing dish out decent damage, it also has great range thanks to its whip-like ability.

If that wasn’t enough, the knight also appears to have an attack where it unleashes wind blades that hone in on its foe. Of course, the developers could alter the way the Black Serpent Knight functions before its release, but for now, we have a glimpse of what we can expect upon its release.
