Goldarmors are tough, possessing a rare five hit points, as well as a defense against the Shovel Drop and other direct attacks, thanks to their shields. When fighting Shovel Knight, they hold their shield in front of them protecting them from slashes. If Shovel Knight jumps above them, they move their shield above them to defend against the shovel drop. Their main attack is to thrust their sword forward, though this leaves them open just before they attack. (may secretly be a dragon under armor)
