The Summer Knight's gimmick is that he's supposed to be able to break your shield in one hit.
The problem with this is, it makes him the weakest knight by far. Most people don't shield their attacks to begin with, since they're so slow you can just run away from them. If you use magic he's reeeally pointless. Unless you give them a significant speedboost when walking over grass, they're a little lackluster as an enemy. They have no ability to control the room or make you want to switch seasons.
Lookit that ittle-bitty danger zone.
I propose giving him a bit of area control, an extra little oomph to make him capable of being a threat when it's summer.
1. Tremors / Cone of Stun. Even if he doesn't hit you, if you're in the cone radius (marked by gravel temporarily appearing there?), you get stunned with stars over your head ala Vilya.
2. Chasms/Spikes, three (or five?) sharp spikes of earth opening up in the direction Summer Knight is facing like claws, doing less-than-point-of-impact damage but still damage to whoever the chasms/spkes hit.
