Kingdom Rush Vengeance — Builds, Heroes & Farming 2025

Updated: 16 Aug 2025

Scope: Campaign and endless strategies for consistent 3-star clears and efficient star/currency farming.

Playstyle Overview

• Anchor + Pincer: Create one “immovable” choke (stall + splash), then pincer side lanes with precision towers.
• Spike first, spread later: Hit your first power spike (key T3/T4) before making new bases—low-level spam leaks.
• Rotate actives: Stagger hero ultimate and global spell so one is always ready for elite clusters.

Best Tower Lines & Upgrade Priorities

Archer Tech → Dark Rangers

Poison + disable shines versus swarms and mediums. Max poison line first; add disable to hold elites in splash range.

Artillery Tech → Infernal/DWAARP-style

Pick artillery with reliable knockback or huge AoE. Upgrade the control first—damage multiplies when enemies stay clumped.

Mage Tech → Shadow/Hex Caster

Armor answers with debuffs. Grab the first shred/debuff before raw damage to boost team DPS.

Barracks Tech → Assassins / Durable Frontline

Use side-lane assassins. Invest in smoke/evade tools early; they buy time for artillery ticks.

Hero Picks & Skill Orders

• Bruiser: survivability + AoE swing first; anchor the main choke.
• Ranged nuker: burst + cooldowns; rotate lanes to finish runners.
• Support: CC or buffs that extend damage windows.

Gold Efficiency Rules

• Don’t over-guard dead lanes—two efficient towers + barracks beat four under-leveled towers.
• Sell timing: dump a T1 to finish a key T3 spike before an elite wave.
• Spell economy: a good global cast can replace 2–3 panic upgrades.

Map Patterns & Tactics

• Split entries: Rangers/poison on wide lane, artillery on the merge. Rally micro starts stalls earlier.
• Armor-heavy arcs: Rush mage tech + debuffs, then artillery. Poison alone won’t carry.
• Boss phases: Save spells for add waves; heroes body the boss while towers clear the swarm.

Endless & Farming Loops

Prefer maps with short wave timers and predictable spawns. Aim for perma-clump setups: disable + assassins + artillery. Stop runs when rewards flatten.

Common Mistakes

• Upgrading three lanes evenly—pick one to dominate early.
• Ignoring debuffs; raw DPS underperforms without armor answers.
• Floating gold during elite timings; spike before the wave lands.
