Barbarian King is the first hero accessible to Clash of Clans players. Barbarian King can be unlocked at Town Hall 7 and has a total of 85 levels. He has the highest hitpoints in the home village. Barbarian King can soak up a massive amount of damage and regenerates almost 40 percent of his health when his ability is popped.
Barbarian King’s ability the Iron Fist gives him a good boost in his stats when used. Iron First can increase Barbarian King’s speed and damage while recovering almost half of his hitpoints. When Barbarian King’s ability is used, multiple Barbarians are spawned around him that have a Rage Spell effect on them.
Barbarian King’s Iron First ability can reach the maximum level of 17 at Town Hall 15 while the King himself can be upgraded to level 85 at TH15. The amount of units summoned by Iron Fist ability depends on the ability level of the Barbarian King. At max level, Barbarian King can spawn 38 Barbarians around him when his ability gets used.Â
A maxed-out Iron First ability can also provide a good buff to Barbarian King by giving him a speed increase of 34, a damage increase of 1050, and a hitpoint recovery of 5000. The ability will last for 10 seconds at the max level.Â
Barbarian King is a vital part of many attack strategies because of his massive health and damage. Barbarian King is considered the largest creature of the home village. He used to be the largest creature in the whole game until The Mountain Golem was added to the Capital Peak. Barbarian King’s massive body size is the result of his Dark Elixir consumption.
Most Clash of Clans players, try to funnel their Barbarian King into the enemy base. Once inside the core of the enemy base, Barbarian King can deal massive damage to the enemy base. The Barbarians spawned by his ability give him a good tank against Inferno Towers. In most of the ground attack strategies, Barbarian King is funneled into the base with other core troops.
Inferno Towers are Barbarian King’s worst enemy. You would want to keep your Barbarian King away from the Inferno Towers because of their massive damage per second; they don’t take a lot of time in sending Barbarian King to deep sleep. Using Iron First wisely can help you in saving your Barbarian King from Inferno Towers.
Monolith, the Town Hall 15’s signature defense; can also deal devastating damage to Barbarian King. Barbarian King usually works the best when paired with a proper pet. Barbarian King is mostly used with Mighty Yak at Town Hall 14 and with Phoenix at Town Hall 15. Mighty Yak can tank a fair amount of damage and helps in breaking walls.
