Soldier-One (spear)


 * For more uses of the term "Soldier-One," see Soldier-One (disambiguation).

The Soldier-One (spear) (ソルジャー·ワンズ（槍）) is an enemy that appears in Sonic and the Black Knight. It is one of the Knights of the Underworld. It wields a long spear and rarely is equipped with a shield, which lets it distinguish itself from the other Soldier-One enemies.

Appearance
Soldier-Ones are Underworld creatures that are clothed in armor unused by knights. Having cyan Medieval-markings throughout his arms, torso, spear, and shield, Soldier-Ones have mostly gray armor.

Powers and Abilities
Soldier-Ones, as their name suggests, have only one weapon, that being the spear they wield. Soldier-Ones will typically line up in a column of three and will charge towards the player, who can control Sonic the Hedgehog, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, or Sir Percival. If a Soldier-One manages to get avoided by the player, it can respond back to its original location, where it can charge at the player again. This only occurs, however, if the player backtracks.

Sonic and the Black Knight
Soldier-Ones have only appeared in Sonic and the Black Knight. The Soldier-Ones are difficult to dodge and to defeat, as for the former requires a good eye to jump over the enemy, while the latter has two steps. In order to defeat the Soldier-One, the player must startle the enemy by swinging their sword. This throws the spear of the Soldier-One up in the air, which gives the player a chance to slash the enemy. Another way to counter their attack is to block using the guard which will disorientate the Soldier-One long enough for the player to move in for the attack.
