Command An Army Knight — Mercenary Evolution, Stats & Tier
How to get the Command An Army Knight: the Mercenary → Squire → Knight evolution line added in Update 2, why post-patch footage calls the Knight one of the strongest units, and its tier verdict.
The Command An Army Knight is the end of the Mercenary evolution line — Mercenary → Squire → Knight — added in Update 2, and post-patch footage calls it one of the strongest units in the game. If you were selling duplicate Mercenaries for gems, stop: every spare is now a step toward a Knight. Seen in footage · 2026-09-22

How to Get the Knight
Follow the new third-step chain, and every step needs the unit at level 20 plus evolution currency: Seen in footage · 2026-09-21
- Mercenary (1★) — the common filler unit you already have dozens of. Its whole value changed in Update 2: it is no longer just ascend-and-sell fodder, it is the stepping stone toward the Knight line. Seen in footage · 2026-09-21
- Squire — evolve a level-20 Mercenary into a Squire. This is the new middle step that appeared with the update.
- Knight — evolve a level-20 Squire into the Knight, the line's endgame.
Two independent Update 2 guides confirm the same chain: the Mercenary "evolves into Squire and of course a Knight in the last evolution," and the Knight is "very OP" and worth grinding toward. Seen in footage · 2026-09-21

How Strong Is It? — Tier Verdict
- Post-update tier lists put the Knight at A tier — strong enough to recommend for ranked loadouts, unlike the flashier new Rapier which early lists do not recommend for competitive play. Seen in footage · 2026-09-21
- It is called "one of the best units we can use right now" in Update 2 footage, specifically because the whole Mercenary line is easy to obtain and stack.
- The Knight's exact HP and damage are not on screen in the footage we reviewed yet — those numbers stay blank until verified rather than guessed. Inferred · 2026-09-22
Why It Matters for Your Account
Every player starts with Mercenary drops — the Knight turns your existing bench, not rare summons, into a top-tier melee unit. That is why the Update 2 guides frame it as the underrated pick: everyone has the raw material already. Grind Mercenaries through the chain early, and you have an A-tier unit without chasing the 4★ gacha. Community report · 2026-09-21
