Ashen Knight Boyd Information

• Ashen knight Boyd is a Royal Soldier, Much like Masterless Glencour.
• Good at distracting Duke's Dear Freja during the boss fight as well as dealing a good chunk of damage provided if he does not hit her shell. Also very useful for taking care of the spiders.
• Unlike most other royal soldiers encountered, Boyd Wields an Estoc, instead of the traditional Shield and spear
• Is capable of healing himself but not a huge amount (It heals just as the Estus, but significantly weaker)
• Glitch: When summoning him for the fight against Freja, he runs to you right away rather than starting from the "standing up" animation the moment he spawns as a summon
• In SotFS: When summoned against the Looking Glass Knight, he seems to take advantage of the Estoc's shield piercing ability when attacking the shield-side of the Looking Glass Knight and can also sometimes instantly attacks and even backstabs recently-spawned player Mirror Squires, especially while they are still stuck waiting for the loading screen to finish
