Kingdom Rush Vengeance (Steam) Impossible Hero Challenge - Jokull's Nest Heroic

Well there was no agonizing over whether to grade or not here.  This stinker of a map was super trivial.  Usually it's easy to make a heroic mode more difficult than the campaign mode.  I understand on a boss map that's not necessarily the case, but it's like they didn't even try here.

This map does demonstrate the amazing power of the Spectral Mausoleum.  Possession is simply an OP ability and largely renders big threats like Frost Giants null and void.  Fully upgraded the cooldown is 17 seconds, but the possession lasts for 10 seconds.  If the possessed enemy spends at least 7 of those seconds walking back up the path, then when possession ends they have to spend 7 seconds walking back down the path again...which means Possession will be off cooldown, so they get stuck in a perma-possession.  Throw in the tower's good DPS and the reliability of the gargoyle blockers and it's a powerhouse of a tower.
