The strongest knifer on paper is the Thunder Raijin or the Thunder/Taran Lancelot - with the assumption that your opponent is within knifer range also.

In reality, neither of these setups are work very well. I have 2 Lancelots and I only use 1 of them, as you can't waste a minute or more per bot just motoring to get into knifer ranges - with 2 of them I'd be wasting half a battle just trying to get into firing range (and the Raijin is even worse). While I do see Lancelots, they are not nearly as abundant as Griffs, Rhinos, Leos, or even Pattons and Galahads.

In top tier, the high damage pilots use mostly knifer Griffins (in DB, PDB, or TarAphid/OrkAphid) and Plasma Galahads. I do see quite a few knifer Rhinos, but in mostly PDB and TarAphid/OrAphid setups.
