The Power Of The Anticonsecutive Knights 1

This is the tenth in my "Power of the Knights" series.
The entire series can be found here
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
Black lines are anti-consecutive lines. Adjacent digits along the line must differ in value by at least 2.
Cells joined by white dots are consecutive in value. Cells joined by black dots have values in ratio of 2:1. Not all dots are given.
Cells joined by X must sum to 10. Not all Xs are given.
Each set of cells along an anti-consecutive line represent a "knight". Each "knight" has a rank of 2,3,4,5,6 or 7. The length of the line determines the rank of the knight. The sum of all cells along an A/C line must add up to the rank of the knight squared. E.G. The knight with the rank of 5 will have all connected cells summing to the value of 5^2 or 25.

Reusing the word 'knight' to describe both anti-knight and the length of the anti-consecutive lines is confusing. I would just change the anti-consecutive rule to include "digits along a line must sum to the length of the line squared, i.e. digits on the 5-cell line must sum to 5x5=25" and remove the longer paragraph entirely.

Is it required that each knight rank appears (exactly) once or is that not the case?

Thank you - the rules were clear, but thanks for underlining them anyway. The puzzle was very tricky for me, but I‘m glad I was able to solve it finally.
- Thanks for playing! This one is probably the most difficult of all of my Power of the Knights puzzles. I would recommend the second A/C puzzle as a little less difficult. I hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers! - Tingo

- Short answer, yes. Long answer, as the rules state, the length of the line itself tells you the rank of that particular knight. I hope you enjoy this puzzle! - Tingo

Last one in your knights puzzles for me! Had a few issues about 1/3rd of the way through, but after a short break I was done in 10 mins! Really enjoyed it & thank you for these puzzles!
