The fiery scythe-wielding, no-nonsense brawler is, in our opinion, the best character in Tower of Fantasy right now. King is bold, focused, and always likes to get straight to the point. If necessary, King won’t hesitate to resort to violence if it means resolving a situation.

King is a DPS fighter with affiliation to the “Fire” element. King is simply just a really great melee fighter. He is unstoppable when it comes to close-quarter combat and can destroy the enemy’s shields with ease. He can deal a ridiculous amount of damage and has a wide attack range. The advancement fee for his weapons is low as well.

Weapon

King’s weapon of choice is a large back scythe covered in flames called the Scythe of the Crow.

Samir or Semir is probably the best gunslinger in Tower of Fantasy. She has a laid-back and chill personality, but that doesn’t mean she won’t get serious when put in tough situations. Her skills with guns are even superior to elite Executors.
