Solo Strategy
Phase 1: Standard parry patterns. Phase 2: He summons Royal Guards — use AoE cards. Phase 3: Famine debuff cuts healing by 50%. Bring Lightning cards for the final phase. The key difference from original Cruel King is the Famine debuff timing — save your biggest heal for after Famine wears off. Parry his DX Sword Slash for free counter damage.
