Kingdom Rush Vengeance (Steam) Impossible Hero Challenge - A Night in the Swamp Iron

I'm pretty sure Ironhide deliberately made Goblirangs a bad tower just so they would have an excuse to use them in iron modes.  How else do you account for how often they appear in these?  I certainly have never used them outside of an iron mode...that I remember.

I like this map because, even once you know the strategy, it's not a straightforward process.  Instead, it's all about where the hotspot is on the field due to your hero's strengths and weaknesses and devoting resources - whether reinforcements or upgrades - there.  It keeps you on your toes and makes for an engaging and challenging experience for all but the most OP heroes.

Impressions

Grades are about what you would expect.  Asra takes a rare 'C' here.  While her Spider Bite ability is great in preemptively taking down the Bone Carriers, as often is the case the fact that she can't (or at least shouldn't) block, coupled with lower DPS, means she struggles at points - especially with holding back the wave of Haunted Skeletons that accompany the Bone Carriers.  A key part of the strategy here is keeping the Skeletons from reaching the Carriers so they can't heal them when they die.  If it weren't for her Spider Bite taking care of them this would be a much more difficult situation for her.

Jack O'Lantern takes a rare 'B' here.  It's not that he was bad, I just had to work a little harder with him at certain points than the 'A' grade heroes, and that of course is the definition of a 'B'.

Final Grades

  • Veruk - B
  • Asra - C
  • Oloch - C

  • Murglun - A
  • Jack O'Lantern - B

Kingdom Rush Alliance Impossible Hero Challenge - 8. Carmine Mines Iron

I know I've complained about iron modes already in this series, but this one honestly made me mad.  Talk about a completely pointless wa...
