How to Defeat the Pumpkin King
The Pumpkin King is a new boss with two phases in Survive Zombie Arena Halloween Event. During the fight, you must destroy his tombstones to prevent him from healing. The boss appears every 15 floors and has approximately 400,000 to 500,000 HP.
I recommend keeping your distance while attacking the Pumpkin King. The Tactician and Bastion Classes are good choices because they provide utility and can deal passive damage.
