Barbarian King Altar



"The Barbarian King is the toughest and meanest barbarian in all the realm, whose appetite for Dark Elixir has caused him to grow to a giant size. He can attack enemy villages or guard your village."




 * Summary
 * The Barbarian King Altar is basically a Barracks/Army Camp/Laboratory for the Barbarian King. When he isn't engaged in battle, the Barbarian King can be seen pacing around the Altar, or sleeping on top of it to regenerate health.
 * You need a free Builder and at least 10,000 Dark Elixir to build the Altar. Once the Altar has been placed, the Barbarian King is summoned immediately. The placement of the Altar is instantaneous and no additional resources are required to summon the Barbarian King.


 * Defensive Strategy
 * Place the Altar in the center of your village. Try to use the King when he is covered with your other defenses. Placing the Altar in the outside area of your village will enable other players to easily lure the King to his defeat with Troops. When he is outside of other defenses' cover, the enemy will swarm him with Barbarians, Archers, Wizards, or any small units and defeat him in short order.
 * Offensive Strategy
 * Lure the King outside the village by one or two Barbarians or Archers . After he is outside the base's defensive cover, swarm him with Barbarians or Archers.


 * Trivia
 * Added with the 10th January 2013 hero update.
 * Although the Altar itself can not be upgraded, the Barbarian King can.
 * The Barbarian King is basically the counterpart of the Archer Queen, and vice versa.
 * There is no upgrade difference between levels, its just the Barbarian King that changes.
 * The builder has his own animation for upgrading the Barbarian King's and Archer Queen's altars. He forms some gold in a furnace near the altar, and hits it with his hammer on an anvil.
 * Iron Fist ability unlocked at level 5.
