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

I love maps like this that are different and a little less serious than normal.  This map does pose a bit of an initial challenge because it's different, but ultimately it's fairly easy and fun.  I feel like they made it a reward for finishing this stage of the campaign.  Castle Blackburn iron mode in the original Kingdom Rush was much like this with the flying sheep.

The bunnies are meant to throw you off initially.  Since heroes without a ranged attack can't hit them (aside from perhaps some special abilities) you're in for a shock if you initially go in with someone like Reg'son or Prince Denas, expecting to need tanking ability.  Ultimately though it's pretty easy to put together a self-working build that can take care of them even if you're hero can't contribute.  The real challenge of this map comes at the end with four Twilight Avengers at once.

Impressions

There's not a ton to say in terms of impressions.  The map ultimately just isn't that hard (especially after the campaign and heroic modes), so no one did worse than a 'B'.  'A' versus 'B' largely came down to two factors: can the hero contribute to dealing with the bunnies and how well can they handle the four Twilight Avengers at the end?

Final Grades

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

Best Choice

I'm declaring this a tie between Vez'nan and Phoenix.  Phoenix as always brings the amazing AoE that just annihilates the bunnies, and her DPS plus special abilities take down the Avengers without much problem.  Vez'nan does a great job thinning out the bunny hordes, and all you have to do is save Dark Pact for the Avengers at the end.  Between the demon and his special abilities they crumble easily.
