Kingdom Rush Vengeance (Steam) Impossible Hero Challenge - Into the Mountains Heroic

The heroic mode is again a good challenge, but made easier by the fact that the keys to it are all things we've seen before.  As with the campaign mode, a Shadow Archer with insta-kill ability is crucial to taking out the initial Frost Giants and some of the larger threats later.  And just like the heroic mode for Breaking the Ice, we can't allow any of the Snow Golems to wake up, so the gold for that has to be factored into the build.  Given that, the build becomes pretty straightforward after that, although the map still requires very precise play to make sure things don't go sideways on us.

Impressions

While magical DPS is still a liability here, it's not quite so much as previous maps.  Still, Oloch and Mortemis earn 'C's as they still struggle to provide assistance against Draugr, Apex Stalkers, and Ice Reapers.
