Kingdom Rush Alliance Impossible Hero Challenge - 23. Darksteel Gates Heroic

Heroic mode is once more a redux of campaign mode, featuring very similar wave compositions.  Here, however, there is enough gold to support an AoE solution consisting of one Tricannon and one Arcane Wizard at each chokepoint.  The Wizards are still needed to take down the flying Sentries, but the Tricannons go a long way towards taking everything else down far more easily.

Impressions

To avoid what happened last time I started with Raelyn, and it was quickly very obvious that I would again need a two hero solution for her.  Thus I just went with two heroes for everyone, although this map is so borderline in that regard that it ended up generating a lot of grade inflation.  That's fine though and I'm just not going to lose sleep over it.  This game has 35 levels to it at present, so I'm not worried about the grades being slightly skewed every now and then - the law of large numbers will ensure that the heroes will get sorted properly in the end.  None of the grades are particularly notable and everyone gets a slight boost to their GPA as a result.

Final Grades

  • Vesper - B
  • Raelyn - B
  • Nyru - B+
  • Torres - B
  • Anya - A
  • Grimson - B+
  • Broden - A+
  • Therien - A
  • Onagro - B
  • Warhead - B
  • Lumenir - A+
  • Kosmyr - A+
  • Stregi - B+
  • Bonehart - A+
  • Sylvara - A+
