'''Heavy Knight''' is comparable to the other sword-wielding knight enemies, [[Blade Knight]] and [[Sword Knight]]. Heavy Knight is obviously the larger of the group. This iron clad warrior debuts in ''[[Kirby & the Amazing Mirror]]''. He can often be found guarding a [[mirror]] portal, [[treasure chest]], [[switch]], or just [[Kirby|Kirby's]] access through the area. Swallowing a Heavy Knight requires use of the [[Super Inhale]] power of Kirby. As expected, the knight yields the [[Sword]] [[Copy Ability|ability]].

Heavy Knight appears to have grey armor topped by red and gold trim. Also visible are spikes on both shoulder pads, and a large spike on the forehead of the helmet. Although his movements are slow, his sword strikes swoop down and slice backwards in powerful slashes. Judging by the amount of damage he can withstand and his general size, Heavy Knights are some of the largest enemies that are not a [[Boss]] or [[Mid Boss]].

While fighting with a regular copy ability attack, Heavy Knight's health bar will indicate his resistance to each attack. One vulnerability they seem to have is a weakness against other enemies being spit at them, doing so will send the knight flying away backwards. Kirby can inhale the heavy knight and copy his sword ability with a Super Inhale, which requires adequate distance and time to initiate. Heavy Knights are quick to approach and attack, so some planning would be needed. The knights also respawn to the same area even after a short distance is traveled from them.

Heavy Knight is a large enemy comparable to other sword-wielding knight enemies such as Blade Knight and Sword Knight. This iron clad warrior debuts in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and appeared again in Kirby: Squeak Squad. It can often be found guarding a Mirror Door, Treasure Chest, switch, or just Kirby's access through the area. Swallowing a Heavy Knight requires use of a Super Inhale, and doing so gives Kirby the Sword Copy Ability.

Heavy Knight appears to have gray armor topped with red and gold trim. Spikes are also located on both of its shoulder pads, along with a large spike on the forehead of its helmet. Although its movements are slow, its sword strikes swoop down and slice backwards in powerful slashes. This combined with its size and high health makes it an imposing enemy not to be taken lightly. Heavy Knight is also somewhat resistant to flinching, only being knocked back by powerful strikes such as those from Star Bullets.
