King Croaker’s Strengths and Weaknesses
As a mage, King Croaker’s main strength is his range (20). He can target the farthest allies while simultaneously stunning the attacking line. His weakness, however, is his slow attack speed. Most of King Croaker’s spells have slow frame rates, leaving him vulnerable to close-range attacks.

Best Early Team to Beat King Croaker
Beginner players can defeat King Croaker’s early stages using a Tank-Support-Marksman-Warrior team. Ideal Heroes for this lineup are Lucius (Tank), Antandra (Tank), Hewynn (Support), Cecia (Marksman), and Kruger or Brutus (Warrior).
After the Common One or Two stages, you must substitute Lucius with Thoran as the primary Tank. Otherwise, King Croaker’s Instakill attack will immediately take out your frontier. Also, if you have access to Koko and Smokey, have them support your team from the backline.
It’s easier to defeat all common-type Dream Realm bosses with Heroes of Level 60 or higher who are at least Ascended to Epic or Legendary rarities.
Best Formation for Defeating King Croaker
The optimal formation for defeating King Croaker is the Arrowhead strategy. To replicate this lineup, place a Tank in the frontmost tile and back it up with other Tanks or Warriors. For the two rear ends of the arrowhead, use Support and Marksman characters. If applicable, place Koko and Smokey in the backmost tiles so that they absorb most of King Croaker’s projectile damage. But fill the front row with Heroes with the highest ATK.
Keep your backline Heroes separated to avoid AoE damage. King Croaker’s Water Bomb can cover two tiles, draining the supporters’ HP faster.
