Kirk is a standard melee fighter. When he rolls his armor deals minimal damage, but will stun low-[[poise]] players, so keeping a shield up makes fighting him considerably easier.

Kirk's damage output is unremarkable, making him good practice for parrying. However, his weapons do cause the [[
bleed
]] effect. He also attacks fairly slowly, giving many opportunities for [[backstab]]s.

Kirk invades at very inconvenient places: in the first and third instances, he
's
likely to invade while the player already has their hands full fighting
others
, and in the second, he fights on the edge of a ledge, making it likely for the player to accidentally launch either him or themselves off. Keep these in mind when fighting him and plan accordingly.

The locations at which Kirk invades are not a set order, it is contingent on which order player has chosen to visit while being in a non-hollowed state.
