The King of Ashes is a 9-3 rank mission.
Overview
Description:
Within the ever-burning depths of the Firestorm Citadel, Lord Vanaduke lies in wait for any living being to pass into his accursed kingdom. Any squad that has ever attempted to infiltrate the citadel has perished or was simply lost, like the countless lost souls bound to this terrible realm.
Lord Vanaduke is ready for war, believing in his twisted mind that any who dare enter the citadel to be an invading force bent on overtaking his kindgom. He stands as the last obstacle before gaining access to the Core and the Spiral Knights having any chance of restoring the Skylark and returning home.
As a Champion of the Spiral Knights, you alone have what it takes to lead a team into the very heart of this inferno and face the titanic might of Lord Vanaduke.
Objective:
Defeat Lord Vanaduke in the Firestorm Citadel and reach the Core
