The Barbarian King is a ground-only melee Hero. His job is simple: make a funnel, take damage for your army, or open a route into the base.

Use it when spawned Barbarians and a recovery burst help your King stay alive.

Use it for a strong ability pop when the King must clear faster or win a fight.

Use it when a wall break changes the King’s path into the compartment you need.

Use it for a long side funnel where the King keeps landing hits and needs sustain.

Use it when the King must tank in the core and get value from splash damage.

Use it when you want the ability to damage several buildings on the King’s route.

Use it when extra distractions help the King take less direct fire.

Use it when jumping walls gives the King a cleaner route through the base.
Place the King where he can clear outside buildings without walking away from the compartment you want. Watch his next target before you send the main army.
On defense, put the King near defenses that benefit from extra stall time. Do not leave him where an attacker can pull him to an empty edge.
Majestic Barbarian King and other King skins do not change his stats, ability or equipment. Check the in-game Shop for current availability before spending Gems or a skin currency.
