Overview & Lore

King, also known as Harlequin the king of the Fairies, is an SSR-rarity character and a member of The Seven Deadly Sins bearing the mark of Sloth. After losing everything dear to him during the 700 years he spent away from the Fairy King's Forest, he abandoned his old name and now lives as King. In combat, he operates as a highly versatile support and DPS hybrid who provides immense sustained defensive value and enables powerful elemental synergies in longer engagements.

Best Weapons and Element

King's playstyle and element drastically change depending on the weapon equipped:

  • Staff (Holy - DPS): This weapon turns King into a high-damage Holy attacker relying on the "Bloom" mechanic. Every attack grants Bloom stacks (up to 15), which increase his Attack by 1% per stack. Reaching max stacks triggers "Full Bloom," increasing his Attack by 25% and Defense Shatter by 10%, allowing him to unleash devastating Ultimate Moves.
  • Wand (Earth - Buffer): This is King's premier support weapon for Earth teams. His passive increases allied Earth heroes' Attack and Defense by 5% per Magic Point (up to 7 stacks). He can also apply the "Forest Fairy" buff to increase team Earth damage by 20% and heavily restore the team's Magic Gauge.
  • Grimoire (Earth - Defensive/Healer): This weapon shifts King into a defensive protector. It passively decreases allied heroes' damage taken by 20% and boosts Healing Efficiency by 30% when their HP drops below 30%. He can apply "Mark of the Forest" to make enemies take more damage, and his Ultimate grants a team-wide barrier equal to 18% of Max HP alongside continuous healing.

Best Armor & Costumes

While specific best-in-slot armor sets for King are currently marked as "under construction" in the game data, his Costumes provide massive passive advantages that you should prioritize based on your weapon choice:

  • The Grizzly Sin of Sloth (Best for Staff): Each hit increases his Crit Chance (up to 20%), and gaining Full Bloom massively increases his Holy damage by up to 80% for 10 seconds.
  • Forest's Footsteps (Best for Wand): If his Magic Points are at 5 or greater when using a Special Attack, all of his buff durations increase by up to 40%.
  • Shadow of the Deep Forest (Best for Grimoire): Hitting an enemy affected by a damage-taken boost increases his Barrier Efficiency by up to 80%, maximizing his defensive utility.

Best Team Compositions

King is an essential puzzle piece in two distinct top-tier elemental teams:

  • The Optimal Holy Team (King, Elaine, Mannie, Hendrickson): In this composition, King is the absolute star damage dealer using his Staff. The strategy is to use Elaine and Mannie to activate skills and fill resources, then swap to King so he can endlessly attack and stack his Bloom buffs for massive Holy damage.
  • The Optimal Earth Team (Diane, Elaine, King, Hendrickson): When using his Wand, King is widely considered the absolute best buffer for Earth teams, capable of boosting Earth units' Attack by up to a staggering 80%. He plays a supportive role here to enable Diane, who acts as the primary bruiser, while Elaine helps trigger Earth Bursts.

Key Playstyle Tips

  • Master the Bloom Loop: If you are running Holy King, your goal is a simple but effective loop: rely on your support characters to build up resources, then switch to King to spam attacks, quickly hit 15 Bloom stacks, and nuke the enemy with his enhanced Ultimate Move.
  • Hoard Magic Points as a Support: When playing as an Earth Wand buffer, your passive stat boosts scale directly with the number of Magic Points you currently hold. Avoid burning through all your Magic so that your main Earth DPS (like Diane) retains their maximum Attack and Defense buffs.
  • Stack Mark of the Forest: If using the Grimoire, prioritize hitting the enemy with your Normal Skill and Active Third skill to quickly stack "Mark of the Forest" up to 10 times. This acts as a powerful debuff that increases the damage the enemy takes from your entire team.
