* Current Official Bio
* Unofficial Updated Bio
* Old Official Bio

This is Bomb King's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.

During a fortress siege long ago, Betty La Bomba decided that the best way to breach her enemy's defenses would be to create walking bombs. Her warlock accidentally strayed from her plans, bringing one of the larger bombs to life, creating the Bomb King: a sentient being who embodied the personality of the Crystal used to create him. After destroying both armies by himself, Bomb King struck out on his own delusional quest to visit the lands under his rule, which happened to be all of them.

The common folk knew better than to offend or even stand very close to him, as his regal demeanor can instantly change to furious, explosive rage at any moment.

This is an unofficial version of Bomb King's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.

During a fortress siege long ago, Betty La Bomba designed Bomb King to help in her conquest of the Realm. Though she was unable to create Bomb King, so a warlock was commissioned to bring Bomb King to life with the use of crystals. However, something would go wrong, and the warlock accidentally brought one of the larger bombs to life, which began to develop a mind of its own. After destroying Betty's entire army singlehandedly, the newly created Bomb King struck out on a delusional quest to visit every land under his rule, which just so happened to be all of them.

This was Bomb King's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

Her warlock accidentally brought one of the larger bombs to life, creating the Bomb King. After destroying her entire army himself, Bomb King struck out on his own delusional quest to visit all the lands under his rule.

## Summary

Bomb King is a damage champion with a heavy focus on area damage. His Sticky Bombs can be deployed on walls and even enemies, which can then be detonated at will. His Grumpy Bomb deals damage and stuns all enemies in a wide area, which is useful for area denial and forcing the enemy to get out of position. Poppy Bomb can be used both as a escape tool and to send enemies near it flying away. His ultimate skill, King Bomb, turns Bomb King himself into a mobile bomb that deals high damage in a very large area around him and stuns enemies.
