Noble Knight

Template:Infobox archetype

"Noble Knight", referred to as "Sacred Knight" in the anime and some video games, and known as "Holy Knight" (聖 (せい) 騎 (き) 士 (し) Seikishi) in the OCG, is an archetype of LIGHT and DARK Attribute Warrior-Type monsters. It was introduced in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 Strategy Guide and received its first support in Return of the Duelist with "Noble Arms - Gallatin".

All TCG/OCG "Noble Knights", except "Noble Knight Joan", are based on the Knights of the Round Table of Arthurian legend. The "Noble Arms" archetype supports this archetype, and encompasses weapons used by those knights.

The "Noble Knights" are not part of the "Knight" archetype, because their names do not contain "ナイト".

Playing style

The archetype relies on equipping the "Noble Knights" with the "Noble Arms" Spell Cards and take advantage of this, either by searching for more support, retrieving fallen monsters or simply destroying cards. Some "Noble Knights" also have the ability of changing its Attribute and increasing its Level by 1 when they are equipped with a "Noble Arms", in order to assist the Xyz Summon of "Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus" or the effect of "Lady of the Lake" to Synchro Summon "Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn"

The aforementioned "Noble Arms" are Equip Spell Cards in the shape of swords with a broad variety of effects, that range from offensive effects like destroy cards and give ATK boost to support/defensive effects like protecting against destruction and targeting effects. Almost all of them can re-equip to a "Noble Knight" you control when they are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, so that even if you Special Summon a Extra Deck "Noble Knight", by using materials that are equipped with "Noble Arms", those Spell Cards will equip themselves to that new monster.
