I'm surprised you didn't mention that the treasure knight fight was hidden in what appears to be a treasure stage which was a good way to catch the player off guard
It also gave me a small should have seen that one comming feeling having just experienced the goal fakeout inn the level before. Did not stop me from laughing throughout the bossfight though.
i liked your rankings except for cardia. i hated that boss because it didnt let you use your vigor and a lot of its attacks were near impossible to avoid. totally agree with specter knight as number 1 tho
Thanks for the comment, Elianna. I think the reason I like Cardia was because it was a massive test of skill. I liked the challenge of needing to figure out other ways to win. To your other point, Specter was awesome in this campaign!
Not sure if it is me or not but I felt Giga Cardia is the worst boss not only in King of Cards but the entire Shovel Knight package altogether. I feel she goes against the spirit of Shovel Knight boss fights (as a lot of times King of Cards did) and in the wrong way: - she goes into "invincible" mode and you have to wait while dodging without the option to punish her - you have to fight without any energy and thus your moveset becomes way more limited - her patterns are dull and repetitive and she does not feel like an agent that fights you but like a robot that replays the same moves and one that just so happen to collide with you by accident I do not think Giga Cardia feels in line with what boss fights in Shovel Knight offer. She felt more like a late Mega Man boss and you felt so restricted in your arsenal as if you are Hollow Knight. I really hated that battle. I think it is the only one that I never bothered replaying after my initial 1-3 runs of the game.
I always delay the propeller Knight battle as long as I can stand it. I hate that the damage he does to your ship doesn’t just go away or get repaired. Kinda hard to feel like a king when the walls of my flying castle are held together by jury-rigged plywood.
@@sirvilhelm2360 Every single card game has that, some cards are just meant to be weak and strong. If we're talking about card strength Pokemon is WAY worse.
@@Moss_Dude I wouldn't know, I don't play Pokemon. I'm just sayin' it would have to be heavily tweaked. Some cards are literally the same as another, just that it is a level stronger. I don't think the fact that one card game has overpowered cards means it's somethin' that should be put into other card games.
@@sirvilhelm2360 Having weaker cards can be a benefit in jousus though. It will have difficulties pushing you opponent's cards out of favorable positions, but it will also struggle to push yours out of them. It won't block an opponent from moving into a favorable position, but it won't block you either. All of the downsides of weaker cards can become mirrored into upsides if played correctly. And pokemon is just the one example I gave of that, EVERY card game has cards that are just plain worse than others.
Great video! I've seen your shovel knight boss ranking before and when it came into my recommended I thought you might have done one for king knight as well. That's when I saw your subscriber count... Your videos are so cool and your production seems amazing! WHEN WILL UA-cam FAVOUR YOU?
If shovel knight showdown ever gets an update where they add some sort of final smash (or maybe they already have, I haven't played it in awhile) I think for Mr hat 11:35 would be perfect
I'm surprised on how little people saw this. It's pretty high quality and very entertaining. I'll probably sub to you in the future. Anyways, anybody in the comments know the hardest boss in this DLC?
King of Cards is my favourite of the four campaigns. I love horror stuff so I thought Specter of Torment would be my absolute favourite but King Knight's gameplay and personality won me over. It was so cool fighting Specter Knight with his Specter of Torment Curios and then having to fight his flying form with the cloak, plus it was cool to gain a bit of his respect after the second battle
I'm gonna be honest. I find the enchantress first phase boring and at times unfair. There really isn't a single standout thing about the fight I can think of from all 4 campaigns. The true final boss is a joy every time though.
Oh well. I have the disclaimer in the beginning of the video specifically for comments like this. Sorry about your brain. Mine didn’t break when you misspelled “annunciate.” Honestly, thank you for your feedback though. I’ll keep that in mind next time I discuss him.
TEEJHERO doesn’t matter that much. Really it’s just nitpicking. Really enjoyed the video anyway. And thanks for the correction on my comment. I would change it, but then you’d probably have to change your comment and anyway it’s probably funnier with the mistake.
Giga cardia deserves bottom rank, I've never seen a more embarrassingly programed boss fight in a professional game like this. Having the entire fight be "wait for the moment to strik-YOU BLINKED. WAIT ANOTHER 3 MINUTES." In a physics based game is awful, and the devs clearly ran out of ideas very early on and thought 'what if the boss just throws a bunch of unavoidable untelegraphed bullshit. Triumvirate was so fun and I wish I could refight king birder but giga cardia was embarrassingly bad
there's a pattern you just havent found it the yellow gem attack is a bit random but its almost always possible if you dont move until the 2nd gem is out you could probably mess up the climb and most of the attacks are really dodge able if you practice enough i somehow brute forced my way throught the reguler fight but in challenge mode i had to study the patterns and find out the quickest and simplest routes to take her health down after that the fight becomes pretty cohesive and also yes its a big jump since you can brute force through every boss in shovel knight except this one but its a optional one for a reason its a test of skill im just saying there is a way to hit her in every attack she performs even the triple red gem one i do get if you dont enjoy it but don't blame the game for you getting frustrated and blaming it on the attacks being unavoidable or untelegraphed which they arent only one that random is the triple yellow gem i disliked the triumvirate because it felt quite random and annoying to hit

@@VGPorageI surprisingly recognized his anchor and thought it was a bug…
Love your videos! Any chance you'll be making a video for the other 2?
Thanks! I think I'll get to them at some point. I've been working on footage for a lot of other stuff at the moment. Stay tuned for more!
@@TeejHero I sure will be! Your videos are so well done. Good luck with your next releases of whatever you're working on!
Thank you! Feel free to subscribe and see what comes next!
How do you not have more subs
I'd like to think my time will come. Feel free to subscribe and join the ride!
I think joustus was for me the best part of shovel knight king of cards
It definitely grew on me as the game went. I struggled at first a bit though.
Joustus is hella fun

someone finally talked about mario rpg
I love super mario rpg. I have a short little games we love video on it too.
I like when each part of the review ended the boss just dies neat
Thanks for noticing! I try to do that little transition in all my from Worst to Best videos!
TEE when do you do the boss ranking of the other campaigns like plauge of shadow and specter and torment
I haven't thought about them too much yet, but I could. I have a lot of other good stuff too. Like Mega Man videos! Check them out, Hard Man!
@@TeejHero i have question does the mega man videos contain me the original hard body hard man (love your shovel knight rankings)
For sure. I have done rankings for some of the Mega Man games and have all sorts of other cool series.
Not sure if it is me or not but I felt Giga Cardia is the worst boss not only in King of Cards but the entire Shovel Knight package altogether.

A lot of the things you listed are why I like Cardia- and I love Shovel Knight games.
You should really do a video on spectre and plagues bossses.
They are on my radar. If you’re interested I did a video on Super Castlevania IV a few days ago and have others just like this on other games.
@@TeejHero yeah I just watched through a bit of it.
If you like Zelda, I’ve got a ton of content on those games too!
@@TeejHero I'll be sure to check it out.
I always delay the propeller Knight battle as long as I can stand it. I hate that the damage he does to your ship doesn’t just go away or get repaired. Kinda hard to feel like a king when the walls of my flying castle are held together by jury-rigged plywood.
Yeah that part was a bit disappointing. I felt the same way with the King Knight painting if you tick off the painter.
Poor Big Creep, I'm almost feel bad..😔
He has some stellar competition in these games.
Spectre knight spectre knight spectre knight spectre knight
We need irl joustus. It's an unironically great card game and why haven't they already made it?
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t.
The in game version is incredibly unbalanced. Some cards are simply better versions than other ones. But I'd want that too, if only to collect some.
@@sirvilhelm2360 Every single card game has that, some cards are just meant to be weak and strong. If we're talking about card strength Pokemon is WAY worse.

That would be siiiick
Also, you definitely deserve waaay more subsribers, because you're videos are amazing and well done at the same time.
I think the same thing
Thank you both so much!
I'm surprised on how little people saw this. It's pretty high quality and very entertaining. I'll probably sub to you in the future. Anyways, anybody in the comments know the hardest boss in this DLC?
It’s hard to say what the hardest is. I feel like they were all a little easier than in the Shovel Knight version.
Again, a pretty dope video! Nice job!
Thanks, Andor!
This is great video! I just found this channel and really been liking your videos
Thank you! I hope you like some of my other videos too!
Plague Knight is just Michael Jackson if he lived in the 17-1800's.
Bridger Mattson He’s a smooth criminal.
@@TeejHero He's Bad. He's Bad.
@@TeejHero hee hee
Plz could you do this for all campaigns, also is there any way to get the little painter hedgehog back after you frustrate him to the point he leaves
Joe Parisi I’m definitely considering it. And as far as I can tell, you can’t get the painter back at this time. Mine is all graffiti post game.
Specter Knight is AWESOME
I like him a lot too.
HEE HEE HEE. OW
A man of culture, I see.
King of Cards is my favourite of the four campaigns. I love horror stuff so I thought Specter of Torment would be my absolute favourite but King Knight's gameplay and personality won me over.
It was so cool fighting Specter Knight with his Specter of Torment Curios and then having to fight his flying form with the cloak, plus it was cool to gain a bit of his respect after the second battle
I feel almost the exact same way, Jurassic!
@@TeejHero I feel almost the exact same way, TEEJHERO
Is that a king knight statue?
How do I get that?
If you collect all 135 Merit Medals in the game, this awesome statue is the reward!
I'm gonna be honest. I find the enchantress first phase boring and at times unfair. There really isn't a single standout thing about the fight I can think of from all 4 campaigns. The true final boss is a joy every time though.
I liked her.
I think a Discord Server would be awesome to the channel! Don't you think, Teejhero?

Personally felt like troupple king was the coolest fight in this game
I have not had trouble with Mole knight or Treasure Knight in all 4 campaigns but there always fun bosses so not really that big of a complaint
i think the list is fine but i would replace king pridemoor with troupple king
We all have our preferences!
plague and specter knight please.
I’ve been contemplating. Please check out my other stuff too in the meantime!
@@TeejHero ok.
"Smash his big butt"
LOL
My brain broke when you annuonciate troupple king ‘trupple king’. The games themselves explain its announcitaed like council.
But anyway, good video
Oh well. I have the disclaimer in the beginning of the video specifically for comments like this. Sorry about your brain. Mine didn’t break when you misspelled “annunciate.”

@@Tippex_Official hee hee(hello plague doctor)
6:32 what did you just say
Big. Butt.
My favorites were actually specter troupple and percy/plague knight
Always great to see other opinions!
3:03 he is pleague knight's first phase not a boss himself
11:56 same here
Do you fight him? Then he’s a boss.
I found a way to get vigor in the cardia battle, you just have to use the red armor that you can buy from king pride more on the glide wing
I just bought the troople health and magic scroll. It’s cheaper than the armor.
@@christianjohnson2275 that also works
It’s better without vigor.
Why does no one like the joustus bosses
I didn’t say I didn’t like the Joustus bosses. They just didn’t fit in the same criteria the platforming bosses do.
