Now I want Shovel Knight, a ton. A ton a ton. But if we get him, I don't want him alone. I want him to come with a friend - Plague Knight! An alchemist who may not be good up close, but excels in running away, brewing the perfect concoction (Of bombs), and releasing devastation.

Plague Knight? Huh?
Plague Knight was (Spoilers and the sort) one of the 8 knights of the Order of No Quarter, ruled under the Enchantress. He was one of the bosses you could fight after you beat King Knight and Specter Knight, and he resides in the Potionarium. He even got his own free DLC campaign called Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows, in which you play as Plague Knight and try to steal the essence of the other knights so you can brew an ultimate concoction to impress your partner and true love, Mona.

Plague Knight would focus on changing Powder, Fuses, and Cases to adapt to different situations to deal mass damage to foes, and running away is a key part of his moveset. His Up Special could be the Arcana known as Staff of Surging, in which it is a blatant send upwards attack. The neutral would be like Mega Man in which it isn't melee. Plague Knight throws a bomb, that is made of whatever you put together (Powder, Fuses, and Cases.) Nair would be like this, etc. His Side Tilt could be like Meta Knight where it can be used multiple times, and would be the Arcana known as Staff of Striking. Holding down any bomb throwing attacks allows you to charge a burst, which when unleashed causes an explosion which sends you up, which is good because of Plague Knight's pathetic double jump and up special. Unlike in the actual game, you can't switch Bursts. Only the default is available. Dashing could deal damage via the Arcana known as the Fleet Flask. This could help with Plague Knight's running away greatly. Perhaps the Arcana known as the Vat could appear, giving him a temporary explosive platform to stand on. The Bait Boom could also be fun, as it could dash in the direction you send it in, but probably too similar to the Mechakoopa.

Up Taunt has to be Plague Knight's victory dance, I just love it so much.
Down Taunt could be his other dance.
And side Taunt, he could poof up into a cloud of smoke as the more menacing Plague Knight, the poof back.
<-- This is Plague Knight's Boss Fight form
