Barbian King's ability

Barbarian Kings' ability, Iron Fist, which unlocks at level 5, partially heals him by a set amount per level of the Iron Fist and summons a horde of additional Barbarians, and grants him increased damage and speed for a few seconds.

Regeneration time

Barbarian King's regeneration time depends on the amount of damage he takes during an attack. If he survives the attack without taking any damage, he can be used immediately, but the more damage he receives, the more time will be needed to regenerate.

Overall, Barbarian King alone can change the outcome of an attack. His ability, Iron Fist, is really useful when he reaches a higher level. It deals a lot of damage and can assist other troops with even more summoned barbarians. It is absolutely worth investing in and should be upgraded to the maximum level before upgrading the Town Hall.
