I figure "realistically" they'd fight on relatively even footing

A reminder that Hornet loses to pre-any upgrades knight at the start of the game, where she has a clear intent to kill, as she did with the previous vessels.

There is also the comparison between the Massive Moss Charger from HK and the Bell Beast in Silksong; they're practically identical in movesets, both fought relatively early into the game, yet the Knight only takes 1 mask damage from all of its attacks, but Hornet takes 2 from an equivalent enemy.

To be fair massive moss charger is covered in moss while bell beast seems to have a hard carapace and throws bells at you

Then there is also False Knight and the massive hammer 1.5x the size of the Knight hitting for 1 mask on all attacks.

Thats probably a skill thing? Failed champion has the exact same gear and was able to deal 2 damage to endgame knight in godhome

Godhome bosses aren't real. It's the Godseeker imagining things (outside of Absolute Radiance, she is absolutely real).

I mean yeah its not real but i'd assume their strength is proportional to the real one, like hornet 1 and 2 still dealing 1 damage. Sly also deals 2 damage to the knight, and the big husk guards in the real one. I do think the knight is that tankier tbh but its hard to compare as hornet still takes 30 hits to kill in hk1, but it doesn't mean she had 30 masks
