How players use it
- King of Nothing Troop plan (Matsuri, Aevean): stack Recruiter, the Soldier stat perk, as high as the board allows and play every Soldier on one plot. Raise unit count before damage, because a Soldier gains damage for each new unit. Farms add units every year and Men-at-Arms doubles them. Aevean instead keeps a Soldier or Paladin at level 1 and re-rolls for Freshmen, which triples all stats of level-1 troops (up to 3 times).
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 Arms (troops).
- Joker mode: pick it for a custom deck.
