When is the hero knight ability ever useful? What kind of opportunities can it create?

Started a new account to play X-Bow and I’m currently at 7713 trophies.

Across all my matches, I’ve only had one clearly successful Hero Knight ability use, when my opponent played Goblin Barrel into the Knight.

Outside of that, I haven’t found many good spots to use the ability, either to support X-Bow at the bridge or to help on defense. I’ve probably pressed it around five times total, and most of those felt like a 2-elixir loss with no real payoff. A few of them directly cost me the match.

Right now, I don’t see many situations where spending 2 elixir on the ability does something that Log or E-Spirit Skeletons wouldn’t handle better.

When is the ability actually worth pressing? Any specific matchups or situations where it can consistently get value?
