Plants on Fire Mad King — Legendary Captain Guide

Mad King is the headline unit of Plants on Fire’s launch season — a Legendary Captain officially confirmed on the App Store listing as part of Season of Madness.

What is officially confirmed about Mad King?

Confirmed via the official App Store listing:

• Mad King is a Legendary Captain.
• He arrives with Season of Madness, the launch season that began with the global release on August 27, 2026.
• The same season adds the Minions Chili Chef and Violet Magus, new Variants, and the Crazy Riches and Boss Mark events.

What are Mad King’s abilities?

Captains anchor your side of the battlefield in every match — losing your Captain loses the game — so a Legendary Captain’s ability typically shapes which decks you build around it.

How do you get Mad King?

The exact acquisition route is being verified. Based on the confirmed season structure, the realistic sources are season progression and the Season of Madness events (Crazy Riches, Boss Mark). Check the Season of Madness hub for verified event rewards as they publish.

Is Mad King worth building around?

Community-reported launch impressions put Mad King among the most-watched units of week one, and Legendary season headliners historically land high on the tier list. His verified tier placement publishes once in-game testing completes — until then, treat any exact ranking as provisional.
