Heavily armored knight. A Dread Horseman on foot is still a higly formidable foe, and in the few cases when Birian rebels managed to unseat a Dread Horseman, they only successfully disarmed and captured one."

      Very weak to ripostes, regardless of the weapon you use (Daggers do around 300 damage for instance). Also, you can parry ANY of his attacks with a pistol or a crossbow (shield-bash, kick, slash attack which, I think, are unparryable with a shield). In general, what cannot be parried with a shield can be with a pistol/crossbow, unless it's a boss or a giant lifeless armor. But the opposite can also be true. You can't parry the horse or an arrow with a gun.
