Barbarian King

The first of 2 heroes in the game at the time of wikiing, the Barbarian King's appetite for Dark Elixir has caused him to grow into a massive size. Heroes cannot die, but they sleep to regain health. When they sleep (note this) they cannot defend your village. Don't let raiders get past your King! (or Archer Queen for that matter)

Barbarian King
The Barbarian King is the largest Barbarian of all the realm. The Barbarian King is basically an immortal Barbarian with "Barbaric" stats. At lvl 1 he does 150 damage per second, (which is approximately 180 damage per hit) and has 1,500 hp. This makes him great for attacking with archers and/or barbarians as the King will simply take all the hits while your other troops do the damage.

Strategies
Offensive: considering its speed, health and damage the Barbarian King needs to be accompanied with tier 1 troops (barbarians, archers, goblins) a good strategy here is to simply deploy him and then the other troops as the Barbarian King will instantly be attacked by the majority of defences while your other troops pillage the village.

Defensive: as the Barbarian King is undeniably slow he lacks in the defensive side of a hero, BUT a well-placed Barb King can take his toll. I personally ALWAYS, in every base I create, place the Barb King near/next to the Clan Castle as almost any troops accompanied with the Barb King will absolutely destroy. I prefer archers or healers with my Barb King, but I will happily take Dragons and PEKKA's.
