Recomended Stigmatas
(2pc OR 4pc)
4pc: When hitting weakness of the target, increases Slash, Pierce, and Crush Boost by 40% each for that attack.
4pc: When a counterattack is activated, increases Melee Attack power by 35% for 2 rounds.
Headless Knight is one of the strongest melee characters in Horizon Walker. He truly shines in multi-wave encounters or mob-heavy maps—especially effective in Dopamine.
His kit revolves around clearing small mobs to reduce cooldowns, high-damage AoE skills (some of which can pass through walls), immunity to counterattacks, and action-slowing utilities making him perfect for fast-paced waves clearing.
All of this comes in a low 06-cost unit that you can fully max out, along with his weapon, for free.
There is no dedicated set for him at the moment, but he performs exceptionally well with the The Thousand Mile Weaver set, which Increases his Melee Attack power by 10% during combat and When hitting an enemy’s weakness, it increases Slash, Pierce, and Crush Boost by 40% for that attack with a full 4 piece set.
Alternatively, he can use a hybrid setup: 2-piece The Thousand Mile Weaver (Top and Left pieces) with 2-piece The Four Horseman (Bottom and Right pieces), For Max HP, Crit Damage and Melee Attack as main stats. This combination grants:
- +10% Melee Attack power during combat.
- +20% Critical Damage during combat.
Another viable choice is the 4-piece The Thorny Heart set, which provides:
- 2-piece: Increases Melee Attack power by 9% during combat.
- 4-piece: When a counterattack is activated, increases Melee Attack power by 35% for 2 rounds.
Recommended Sub Stats: Crit Rate (aim for a 1:2 ratio; 35% is a sweet spot for AoE-focused builds) > Crit Damage > Melee Attack > Anything else.
Recommended Teams
Headless Knight is a powerful frontline unit who can also function as a pseudo-tank thanks to his high durability and damage output. He excels at blocking counterattacks especially useful against those annoying shooting robots. However, due to his low AP and speed, he performs best when paired with a sustainer and AP / movement support units. His top team compositions often include Griselda and Fammenne, who help keep him active and lethal in extended fights.
Here some examples of his best teams:
