Kingdom Rush Origins (Steam) Impossible Hero Challenge - The Unseelie Court Campaign

The final campaign mode of the faery forest section is challenging, but not in regards to your hero choice.  It's really just about having a solid build plan.  This is doubly true at the end, since Malicia can one- or two-hit your hero, so their abilities besides their Hero Spell are largely irrelevant at that point.

This is an interesting phenomenon in the game that I wish I understood better.  Some maps are hard, but yet your choice of hero has little effect on the difficulty.  Then there are other maps like Royal Gardens iron that are hard and your choice of hero has a huge impact on the difficulty.  In any case this map is one of the former.

Impressions

I only handed out four 'B's, and the only surprising one was Lilith.  As always, that might have been due to some bad RNG, and also possibly because she's the third hero I use and I was still perfecting my build order and micro.  Other than that there's not much to say.

Final Grades

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

Best Choice

I'm declaring this a tie between Phoenix and Reg'son.  This is very much a "horde" map, and whether Gloomies, mushrooms, or just run of the mill enemies, you know Phoenix is the one to deal with them.  As for Reg'son, he does fantastic with the mushroom sections of the map, which are among the most challenging, and Vindicator of course removes the threat of the Bandersnatches altogether.
