Kingdom Rush Origins (Steam) Impossible Hero Challenge - Grimmsburg Campaign

So this map ended up being worthy of grading, but for slightly different reasons than normal.  This is an otherwise trivial map except for the waves of Gloomies.  Now it is completely possible to handle them solely with reinforcements, Thunderbolt, and the Venom Vines, not relying on your hero.  However, it is not uncommon to get bad RNG or misplay a Venom Vine by a second or two and have everything suddenly go down the toilet.  In that case, it's nice to have a backup in a Hero Spell that can deal with them.  So what I decided is to give Bs to every hero whose Hero Spell doesn't help with the Gloomies in any way.  I did go ahead and give Phoenix an A as well, because even though Ember Field can't affect them, her AoE is otherwise awesome enough to deal with them (Purification FTW).  So we'll skip the impressions this time since there's really nothing else to say and go straight to the grades.

Final Grades

  • Eridan - A
  • Arivan - A
  • Catha - A
  • Reg'son - B
  • Prince Denas - B
  • Razz and Rags - B
  • Bravebark - B
  • Vez'nan - A
  • Xin - B
  • Phoenix - A
  • Durax - B
  • Lynn - A
  • Bruce - B
  • Lilith - A
  • Wilbur - A
  • Faustus - A

Best Choice

Phoenix continues to shine as our all-star for the Faery Forest maps, which are built for her AoE capabilities.
