Kingdom Rush Origins (Steam) Impossible Hero Challenge - Arcane Quarters Heroic

This is a fairly challenging map, with a difficult mix of hordes and bosses, physical resistance and magical resistance.  There's no secret to it besides a good build plan and really good micro.  Getting down the proper timing of Thunderbolts - and to a lesser extent Hero Spells - proved critical.

Impressions

This is kind of map that I would call "standard hard".  There are no games or tricks, just a lot of difficult waves of enemies with the mixes I listed above.  As such, it sorts our heroes pretty well into their usual rankings, and there isn't much to talk about.  I was a little surprised to give Bravebark a 'B' instead of an 'A', just like I was a little surprised to give Catha a 'B' instead of a 'C'.  Other than that, the grades are largely what you would suspect for a very hard map.

Final Grades

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

Best Choice

Wilbur kind of wins the award by default this time.  He didn't necessarily stand head and shoulders above the 'A' performers, but he still is definitely the best hero to tackle the map with.
