Build Strategy

Tier 4 Spiky Shield Royalty

The King starts with +50 Luck and gains massive buffs (+Damage, +Attack Speed, +Max HP) for every Tier 4 (Red) weapon and item equipped. However, you suffer significant penalties for holding Tier 1 (White) items. The strategy is to utilize the high Luck to rush high-tier gear while avoiding cheap Tier 1 items that drain your Max HP. The Spiky Shield is the weapon of choice as it scales with Armor, providing both defense and offense to survive the early game penalties.

While Spiky Shield is optimal for survival, the core mechanic is simply rushing Tier 4 weapons. You can technically use other weapons, but you must upgrade them out of Tier 1 immediately to avoid the -15% Damage and Attack Speed penalty.
