King is a VIP class. They're the leader of their team and have the highest bounty in the game so they should be protected at all costs. King spawns with a set of gold armor which gives them decent protection, but makes them a bigger target on the battlefield. To better protect themselves, the king carries a Teleport Wand, which can summon allies to the King's position.
In King's draft, the King picks players for their team and can choose to appoint a General. They also usually place their spawn point. King can be picked in other modes with a limit of one per team.

Special Mechanics
Aside from the Teleport Wand, the King has no other abilities, innate or otherwise.
Tips
Teleport Wand can be used both to protect the King and to save a teammate. It also has considerable strategic significance - it can quickly recall a player from a distant flag (for example Ruins of Zamar). Remember it only has 5 uses per life - use it sparingly unless in danger.
It is usually worth it to entrust more loot to the King rather than to spread it evenly in the team. Other teammates should sacrifice themselves if it means saving the King. This way, the team loses fewer resources and gives away less points.
Picking a King outside of King's draft is a very risky choice with little reward.
King should be played only by very experienced players.
Trivia
The King can choose to die frivolously to recharge their Teleport Wand, but it's considered bad sportsmanship.
