Tower of Fantasy is available since August 11, 2022 and this new gacha game lets you experience a futuristic open-world adventure with an MMORPG aspect. Your goal is therefore not only to explore the different regions, to complete quests but also to summon characters and improve them. On ToF, the summoning system is a bit special and allows you to actually obtain weapons with various rarity levels: N - R - SR - SRR. Attached to these weapons are characters called Simulacrums only for SR and SSR rarities. Today, we are particularly interested in KING and his Raven's Scythe weapon.
KING: Presentation of the SSR and banner
King is part of the game's permanent banner (obtainable with Golden Nuclei) but you also have a low chance of getting it on the game's very first temporary banner (Nemesis), which lasts from August 11, 2022 (launch of the Thu) as of August 31, 2022.
- Gender : Male
- Height : 190cm
- Birthday date : November 3 (Scorpio)
- Japanese voice : Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Kazuto in Sword Art Online among others)
- English voice : Johnny Young (Crypto in Apex Legends)
The different skins
If you get KING's weapon multiple times, then you can increase his star level. At the end of the 3-star level , you get a different skin for the Simulacrum KING . As a reminder, it is possible to use the Raven's Scythe weapon without putting on the appearance of KING.
Favorite gifts to give him
Each SSR character in Tower of Fantasy has an Awakening Level that can be improved by completing the story quest and also by giving them gifts.

KING loves Toys, Saved, Rare and Limited Items
The best gift to give him (because he loves money):

- 4,000 Awakening Points: Reaper of Fear - Every 5 enemies killed by KING restore HP equal to 10% of maximum HP.
Raven's Scythe: Introducing King's SSR Weapon
Information and how to get it?
- Resonance (role): DPS
- Type: False
- Element: Fire
- Fracture: 12.50
- Refill: 5.00
- Basic Attack: 16
- HP: 1165
- Resistance: 6
Raven's Scythe Weapon Effect
- Fire : Fully charged weapons ignite the target for 8 seconds on the next attack, dealing continuous damage for 58.00% ATK every second. Ignited targets gain 50% healing effectiveness.
How is KING/Faux du Corbeau played and with whom/what weapon?
KING (or at least his Raven's Scythe weapon) plays mostly if you orient your Avatar as your primary DPS . It is therefore a very good damage dealer which is mainly used to break shields but also to do damage over time.
- His strengths : King is a very good character for the beginning of the adventure thanks to his high damage, his ability to break shields and especially his Fire type which is just as useful in combat as in exploration (many puzzles require this type of weapon). In a multiplayer team, King is a significant asset since the damage he causes is done over time. Thanks to his scythe, he can hit several targets at once.
-
His weak points : King is one of the characters/weapons that absolutely needs to be upgraded in order to shine in all his glory and cause immense damage. It will therefore be necessary to hope to invoke it several times or to buy a duplicate of its weapon in the shop.
The best combo you can pull off with KING is to go all out on the Lightning element with Nemesis (and its resonance that requires a second Lightning character) and Samir to fire from a distance.
Progression: how to improve Raven's Scythe?
The 6 star levels
Each SR and SSR weapon can progress up to a 6-star level. Initially, your weapon will be at 0 stars and you will therefore have to improve it 6 times to reach the maximum level, but this means that you will have to obtain the same weapon 7 times to improve it.
- 1★: Increases Fracture by 15%. After breaking the target's shield, inflicts burning damage equal to 120% ATK to the target every second for 15 seconds.
- 2★: Increase base HP growth of current weapon by 16%.
- 3★: Increases damage dealt by 10% for each enemy within 6 yards, up to a maximum of 30%.
- 4★: Increases base ATK growth of current weapon by 32%.
- 5★: Increases damage dealt to HP shields or shielded enemies by 100%.
- 6★: Increases damage dealt by 10% for each enemy killed for 30 seconds (stacks up to 3 times).
The necessary upgrade materials
In addition to improving the stars of your weapon, you can also strengthen it and increase it up to 5 times. Be careful, this costs materials but also Gold and sometimes requires having the right level of adventure. For Venus, you will need the following materials:
All Crow's Scythe SSR Weapon Skills
Normal
- Normal attack : When you are on the ground, brandish the scythe to launch 5 consecutive attacks.
- Ascending Scythe : While airborne, hit normal attack to attack 5 times in a row.
- Rend : Press and hold normal attack while airborne (or press when a target is selected), or press normal attack when climbing, jumping back, or using the Jetpack to trigger Rend. While falling, deals damage equal to 12.5% ATK + 1 with each hit. On landing, deals damage equal to 71.9% ATK + 4 and inflicts a knockdown. The higher the altitude when the attack is triggered, the greater the damage dealt, up to 600% damage.
- Spinning Blade : After the fourth normal attack, press and hold the normal attack button to trigger Chain Blade Return. Transforms into a chain blade, dealing damage equal to 137.4% ATK + 7 to nearby targets and pulling them towards it.
- Sneak Attack : Approach the enemy from behind while crouching, then hit normal attack to use Sneak Attack, dealing damage equal to 570% ATK + 30.
Dodge
- Spinning Blade : Hit a normal attack during the short perfect dodge window to trigger (hit an arrow key before dodging) Quick Lunge. Deals up to 126.9% ATK + 7 damage and pulls in nearby enemies.
- Bat Domain : When dodging, summons a bat domain that pulls the target to the center. Press normal attack for the short time after dodging to wield the scythe, dealing up to 114.3% ATK + 6 damage to the target.
- Dodge: Dodge just before being hit to trigger a Fantasy, which reduces the speed of enemies in a given area. You are immune to stuns for 0.5 seconds while dodging.
Raven's Scythe Special Skill
- Death Circle : You wield the scythe, dealing damage equal to 499.9% ATK + 26. Cooldown: 45 seconds.
Discharge (ult)
- Flaming Scythe : When the weapon's charge is full or a Fantasy is triggered, remove all debuffs from the wearer and create a flaming scythe by switching to this weapon, dealing damage equal to 398.3% of the ATK + 21 and lasting 10 seconds. Additionally, a Domain of Flaming Scythes is created every 2 seconds. Scythes summon volcanic eruptions from the ground, which deal 66% ATK + 3 damage to targets and suspend them.
Recommended matrices
There are only 4 die slots to put on your weapon. A bit like artifacts, the matrices work in sets: the more pieces of the same set you put, the more the set in question grants bonuses. For False Raven, it is recommended to put a KING 2-piece set + a Shiro 2-piece set.
