WithSeason 8 of the gamemaking it more exciting than ever, a lot of players are giving it a try. King Arthur is a tempting god to choose first for players as many are familiar with his classic tale. He has some interesting skills to work with that make him a strong warrior on the battlefield.
Passive: Steadfast
One of the most important parts of using King Arthur is understanding how his passive works. Here are the basics:
All of King Arthur’s other main skills are all majorly affected by Steadfast. Players need to keep in mind if their next ability will be the standard version or the combo version as it heavily affects how the battle plays out. Players also need to keep it in mind so they understand how their attacks are combining together.
Overhead Slash is part of King Arthur’s bread and butter combo in the game. Here is how it works:
The standard version of this ability tends to be the stronger one, so players will likely want to use one of their other abilities before using it once they can. It works particularly well in combination with the Uppercut move in his second ability, so try using Uppercut first, then Overhead Slash.
Battle Stomp (Uppercut)
Uppercut tends to be the better option of the two abilities, but Battle Stomp does have its uses. Here’s how this ability works:
The Uppercut knocking enemies into the air often tend to work well with other gods as it gives them a chance to add onto the damage with their own combinations of attacks. Still, if players simply need to slow down opponents that are trying to retreat so they won’t die, Battle Stomp can help finish the job so teammates can keep chasing them down.
Twin Cleave (Bladestorm)
Players will find themselves using Cleave over Bladestorm most of the time. Here’s how this ability works:
The standard version of this ability is the one players use most often because it’s good for clearing waves of enemies. It’s Twin Cleave’s primary use and sets up perfectly to go into the Uppercut/Overhead Slash combo that is particularly strong with this god.
Sundering Strike (Excalibur’s Wrath)
King Arthur’s ultimate changes depending on how much energy is built up. Players can tell if they’ve hit the 35 or 80 energy thresholds by what color Excalibur glows. Here’s how his ultimate works:
While the stronger version is quite a devastating attack, when used properly, the earlier version is still very useful. The stun it provides can allow players to go into a full combo of Twin Cleave, Uppercut, then Overhead Slash which can absolutely decimate enemy gods.
But for those who want to be the ultimate ADC player, it’s important to focus on the stronger version. It can manage to take out 50% of a god’s HP with a single attack when fully maxed out. Needless to say, that is a jaw-dropping amount that can change the tide of battle instantly if it lands. If a key god on the opposing team has to retreat before the real battle begins, it’s a win for King Arthur’s team.
