Rainbow Army (Jack of Rainbows)

Game-Breaking Rainbow Cards & Cross-Faction Multipliers

The Rainbow Army is a special neutral boss army led by the Jack of Rainbows. Defeating this faction grants access to exclusive Rainbow Cards—ultra-powerful Tomes, Troops, and Buildings such as Echoform, Gigantify, X-Ray, Shrine, Slime, Golem, and the 9 new 1.0 Rainbow cards (Reflector, Reactor, Factory, Leech, Great Hall, Singularity, Accumulator, Mantra, Hound).

Rainbow cards can also appear in Jack of All Trades (Merchant) shops with the Lucky perk.

Signature Base None (Encounter Boss)

Led by the Jack of Rainbows; invades your kingdom once per run from Year 11 onwards.

Strengths

  • Echoform clones an entire plot—including all accumulated stats and enchantments—to an empty neighbor
  • Patronage & X-Ray break normal level caps and accelerate Lab Rat / Concabulator chains
  • Shrine, Temple, and Gacha provide massive passive scaling across every King archetype

Weaknesses

  • Not selectable as a starting King (though custom decks can be built in 1.0 Joker Mode)
  • Rainbow cards are rare and depend on defeating Jack of Rainbows or rolling Merchant shops

Best Diplomacy Allies

  • king-of-nothing
  • king-of-time
  • king-of-greed
