"Rycerz operational!"

The PZM-2 "Rycerz" (Knight) are heavy infantry units trained by the Elementals. Bold and agile, they are equipped with mechanized armor, cannons, and ballistic shields. Voiced by Suzie Yeung, using her Eula voice.

Overview
Inspired by the Monstadt medieval knights of old and Teyvat's counter to the Coalition Astartes, these gallant warriors of the Elementals bridge the gap between the light but vulnerable infantry and the tough but bulky mech units. These soldiers wear light mechanical suits armed with a powerful drum-fed cannon as well as a small shield to deflect incoming fire. They are considerably less bulky and intimidating than their counterparts: instead of being encased in thick armor, the pilot is more or less strapped to the front of the main hydraulic framework with a heavy face-mask and some lighter plates covering parts of their body. The signature clanking of their plates and joints in the near distance signal to all that the knights of Monstadt have arrived.

These mechanized infantry excel in front-line combat. Their armor is not the strongest, but gives them the speed to move with the front-lines and take hits that would eviscerate normal infantry. Their cannons deal steady damage to enemy armor, especially in groups, so as with many Elemental units they excel at hit-and-run attacks, armor harassment, flanking, and can quickly adapt to a changing battlefield situation with the use of their arm-shields.
