Sir Aldric
Sir Aldric is knight #1 of 25 you can recruit in Loot Grinder, the free medieval idle clicker.
Backstory
Once a muddy farm labourer, Aldric earned his helmet defending the village grain cart from starving wolves.
What knights do
Your highest-ranked knight sets a kingdom-wide casualty shield that reduces how many peons your disasters — dragon attacks, goblin raids, tornadoes, plagues and more — can claim. The shield is back-loaded, so each knight you recruit is worth more than the last, climbing toward a maximum of 75%.
Recruitment cost
Recruiting Sir Aldric costs 1.20M loot — a one-time purchase.
Why it’s useful
Every peon lost to an event is loot-per-second lost, so a deeper knight roster directly protects your income. Recruiting all 25 maxes your shield and keeps your population safe through the worst disasters.
