It's interesting that the Nightrider is relatively popular, while the Knight equivalent to a Pao (Cannon) and Vao (diagonal equivalent) is in obscurity.

They are alike in terms of complexity. The latter is more challenging to defend against, even though it's weaker.

(Also, the diagram of its movement is currently hosted on an external site, with a warning on the page.)
