How players use it

  • King of Nothing Then put a Paladin in front, because damage buffs also raise its HP. Give it Steel Coat stacks and put a Blacksmith between Castle and Paladin to buff both. Gunpowder and the Mauler perk widen the boulder area. A Greed Beacon beside the Castle adds attack speed.
  • Amplifier Centre: Amplifier. Left of it: a level-3 Blacksmith. The Blacksmith’s yearly damage buff lands on the Amplifier, which passes it to three of its other neighbours at level 3. A troop placed on one of those plots receives the Blacksmith buff without touching the Blacksmith, leaving its other three sides free for a Beacon, a Forest or a second Amplifier.
  • Rainbow cards by job Support multipliers: Warehouse repeats adjacent building effects; Surge triggers a support building 9 times at once (27 stacks from a level-3 Blacksmith, 36 with Overwork); Reflector (1.0) receives every tome effect applied to an adjacent plot.
  • What a card does on a plot A troop, building or tower can only be upgraded by the same card. Wildcard, Overhaul, Concabulator and the Gentrify decree also raise levels. Buildings such as Blacksmith and Farm only affect adjacent plots, so a building in the centre of the 3×3 grid touches four plots and a corner building touches two.
  • Balance changes in 1.0 Balance works on Warlord; Smith Tower-boosted Scout Towers buff adjacent Blacksmiths; Warpers riding Raptors summon properly.

How to get it

  • In the King of Nothing's 9-card deck: a run as this king can start with it, and losing a battle offers cards from your own deck.
  • Loot after beating the King of Nothing in battle when that king is one of your enemies.
  • Merchant: Jack of Structures (buildings, towers and bases).
  • Joker mode: pick it for a custom deck.
