How to beat King difficulty

You can use the same strategy to beat King II and King III.

Decrees:

• Evil Pact: Increasing the number of Imps summoned by the Pagoda is very powerful.
• Fireworks: Expanding the Bomber's area of effect helps clear most enemies.
• War Cry: Both the Altar and the Pagoda are considered summons.
• Overwork: Improves scaling.
• Gunpowder: Same effect as Fireworks.
• Covenant: Doubles the stats of the altar.

Troops and Positioning:

• Pagoda
• Always place it in a corner to maximize the distance between enemies.
• Unlocking level 6 or 9 caps helps a lot, as it's damage scales highly.
• Unlike the Demo, the imps no longer draw enemy aggro, but they will be your main damage source after the initial impact from the Bombers.
  
• Imps
• Place them in the remaining corner.
• A strong early-game troop, but loses relevance as time passes.
• Cemetery and Blacksmith help early on; Library and Farm extend the unit's effectiveness.
• Only Steel Coat makes sense here.
• Altar
• Some buildings provide buffs to the Altar, but nothing as impactful as its natural growth passive.
• It will basically act as a tank that scales over time — extremely necessary for this strategy.
• Bombers
• The center slot is ideal for this unit.
• Smithy and Farm are the main buffs; Library and Cemetery provide good support. (The more troops, the better.)
• Main damage source in this strategy.
• Combustion and Carnage are essential blessings. Procreate is also very good.

Cons:

• May be hard to execute if your king is not high-level.
• King of Progress may become unbeatable due to the tank troop reflecting damage.

Perks:

• Cultist: Secures the early game with Imp cards.
• Pagan: Early Altars.
• Summoner: That 30% is much stronger than you think.
• Ingenious: Being able to upgrade the Pagoda improves your DPS after the Bombers.
