King of Progress
Plot Level-Up Chains, Lab Rats & Pit Recycling
Built around industrial level-up dominoes. Lab Rats have no maximum level cap and automatically level up whenever any adjacent plot levels up. Concabulators level up your entire kingdom upon reaching Level 3, Overhaul destroys a plot to level up escalating numbers of random plots, and Recycler (Patch #29) buffs adjacent plots on every Pit discard.
Precision was replaced by Recycler and Reinforce was reworked into a +2% HP/sec overheal in Patch #29.
A mobile aerial warship base that flies onto the battlefield and can be manually steered.
Strengths
- Lab Rat + Concabulator + Overhaul creates exponential level scaling past Level 100+
- Defender reflects 100% of taken damage and Executioner snipes lowest-HP targets
- Mothership can be directly controlled during battle to kite or burst priority targets
Weaknesses
- Low base Level 1 stats require early survival until level chains trigger
- Concabulator breaks into a Trash Card ("Broken Cabulator") after firing its Level 3 blast
Best Diplomacy Allies
- king-of-stone
- king-of-greed
- king-of-time

Execution Steps
- Stack Lab Rats early and level them fast to trigger King of Progress’s level-up synergy engine.
- Apply reworked Reinforce onto Defenders so their +2% HP/sec overheal stacks massive shields against burst damage.
- Use Recycler and Overhaul to cycle unwanted Tome drafts into permanent upgrades on Executioner and Mothership.
Common Pitfalls
- Old Precision guides from pre-Patch #29 are outdated; rely on Recycler and Reinforce instead.
