I saw many people use it till the end when hero's health hits the red line. Some use it when health is around 1/4 gone and the ability helps to recover health and summons troops to ease damages under heavy fire when hero is in the core area.......
I understand it is based on situation and base layout but just in general when do you get the most bang for the buck?
I rage the King if he has a ton of Barbarians around him (when barching)
Otherwise I activate my heroes abilities when they are in the orange or going to be destroying a key defense or TH.
One of my biggest pet peeves is the number of people I see dropping the royals and activating ability when they are doing nothing useful and haven't taken any damage.
Depends on whats going on but usually somewhere south of half health preferably with other barbs around.
Usually drop him behind a big wall, Giants or Golemns, and when I'm nearing 50%, I hit him into high gear!
Then Queeny is right behind to get TH!
I use it when:
No giant bombs nearby
No splash towers attacking
(these will kill your spawned troops)
heroes are low health
OR when i have a lot of barbarians around king and need to break through fast

Their ability is to provide more DPS, spawn units for distractions, and regain health. Dropping them instantly nulls all of those.
But for me, it depends on the base. When barching, it's nice to have quite a few barbs around the king when he uses his, but it's not vital for me. I usually use them at about 1/4 health

^^ this is so true i hate it.
I use it when theyre in the core, by that time theyre usually in the orange.
I use it if He's the only one left and its gettin close to 50%. The Rage and the heal get him back on his feet faster.
I used his ability once to bypass the heal time altogether. Never been able to replicate the results :p
When dropping trophies, I use BK to kill a mine or collector then use ability and immediately surrender. Usually results in zero or 20 secs heal time, so I can immediately repeat. ;)
as you rightfully said...its based on the situation...most of the time you'd be under heavy fire when at the core due to tons of surrounding defenses targeting on your troops...however...not all the time it will mean that use of the heroe's ability is necessary at that point....
I usually use my King's ability at the core regardless of how much health he has lost just to make him destroy things faster and clear the queen from danger...
My Queen's ability is very crucial to me so I only use it when strong defenses are targeting her causing massive drainage of her health...
