Knightkneeler (Japanese: 葬騎の一撃 Bury Cavalry Blow) is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. In that game it is a weapon skill linked to the Rhomphaia, while in Three Houses it is a basic combat art learned by all units upon increasing their skill level in lances to C. Knightkneeler grants its user an anti-cavalry effect, allowing them to deal bonus damage to cavalry foes.
