Barb king, anyone else feel

[Ghostface45]

That he just plain sucks? No matter what he always takes to much damage when i raid. Ill send out 12giants then archers then king and queen and BAM! all of a sudden hes in front of everyone else. I never use his ability unless hes reaching low hp or when ima about to quit the battle. Yes, im aware hes more of a tank and at level 40 hes great. Etc etc etc. the queen just seems so much more useful..probably due to a long range attack and the fact that she can go RC and have defense retarget. *sigh* king...always getting the shaft

I feel ya, my king is lvl 40 and he's always first on the death list

[DabiPanda]

nope , i love my BK lvl 14!!! I raid TH8s , and he's prety good,he survive till the storages and i stop the attack.

sorry for my bad english

[bikeman264]

He is nowhere near as useful as the queen, but he is still pretty good.

[Zolius]

Yeah the barb king isn't the good.

[James7877]

He's great! Good for tanking, brilliant when you send in some barbs to support. Rage him while barbs are still alive and you're having a party.

I like to drop him about 5 seconds before the queen as she is faster this tends to keep her alive a considerable amount of time longer, assuming I have both available which is for only a couple of raids every 7 days.

[Lakersarebeast]

Yeah, he's garbage, him and his pool noodle

^ BK is literally nothing more than just a shield for the AQ if you are farming.

Good tank (it's like a free PEKKA).
Self-heal is very useful, and so is rage effect on barbs.
Makes excellent distraction (use king to distract AT during a mass drag or cannons/etc during a hog raid).

Very useful in general. If you think he is useless, then you might just be using him wrong (or have him at really low level, like under lv5).
