How players use it
- King of Nothing Enemies: avoid Blood, whose Bombers break the front line, and Stone where possible. Fight Progress early for Overhaul. Three independent players call Nothing the most consistent king; the Castle plan has three sources and the troop plan two.
- So You Think You Can Speedrun Beat the game in under 9 minutes (10.6%). The timer counts real time, including pauses. Players report success on Peasant with fast troops (Thief or Bomber plots) or King of Greed, playing cards quickly and skipping slow decisions. 1.0’s fast UI animation and disabled battle effects options cut animation time.
How to get it
- In the King of Blood'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 Blood in battle when that king is one of your enemies.
- Merchant: Jack of Arms (troops).
- Joker mode: pick it for a custom deck.

Patch history
- Patch #18
Bomber base damage was heavily increased.
- Patch #22
Bomber (Blood): damage was increased. HP was drastically increased making it harder for units to die from ranged attacks and explode before reaching target. This might also enable some unexpected synergies.
- Patch #22
A Bomber with Combustion will no longer cause friendly fire.
- Patch #29
Bomber: explosion & pathfinding were heavily improved. Before today, all Bombers would usually explode together very near each other minimizing their total damage. Now, Bombers will pick different targets in the beginning of the battle so that their AoE is spread (if they reach the target without being killed, of course).
- Patch #31
Bomber now has a dedicated FX.
- 1.0
Bomber pathfinding was improved, preventing late game crashes.
