Most shots are backhandable, use to your advantage
Get locks Doc Ock style. Backhand lock target, then lock shot. Post catch and repeat. On default settings one lock target per lock.
Completing the top WAR lanes starts hurry-ups on the flail, knight and shield. Hitting all three scores a KNIGHT letter.
Lock 2 balls, then get a mode ready, final lock to center scoop stacks your knight MB with your mode
Choose shots that feed back to your flipper, like center ramp and scoops, when not blocked by the Knight.
Premium/LE: All mode shots can be spotted via the “light lock” on upper pf. The upper loop also increases mode value. So left ramp all day.
Spelling KNIGHT through good play in the modes and MB lights the retro BK mode at the left orbit. Good points to be had there.
Always upgrade the mode with POWER--preferably with drop target banks--before starting any mode, especially against the Hydra
Light extra balls at the saucer by completing modes (default: 1), getting U-Turn combos (number varies) and starting RANSOM mode.
Get a mode ready by hitting a red shot, then center ramp. Start mode at right scoop. If blocked by shield, get ball to other flipper
Another Super Skill Shot involves the top lanes; just soft plunge like you would a regular Skill Shot (hold the left flipper while you're doing that)
Super skill shots on Pro Mode are either the Black Knight himself, his flail or his shield. I prefer the centre target. (Remember to hold the left flipper button as you plunge)
