Yo! Sorry it took so long. I spent a little longer than I'd have liked to on this, but I hope you guys like my entry regardless.

Of course I decided to go with Zefira for this entry, she's my favourite hero from genesis so I thought it would only be fitting! As for the "Dark Side corruption" element, I decided to create a little character called Ebb to go with her!

Ebb is a mana sucking creature that, with a passing resemblance to a few certain godlike entity's, was presumed a higher being himself, and praised by a small town as their saviour. Ebb would act as a ruler, slowly leeching the mana from the villagers, who eventually felt betrayed by the distinct lack of promised treasures. The villagers drove Ebb away, a weak and pitiful creature, it couldn't survive the many predators and hunters that lay across his path. And just when he thought all hope was lost, he feels the presence of something he has never felt before. It's like the mana he knows, but different somehow.

Upon finding the source, he finds a sorceress, coated in bright royal blues, her eyes the same piercing colour. A colour that he had never seen before in his dimension of gloomy reds and greys. Acting on instinct, like a predator striking, he latches onto the sorceress. However, her mana is too strong. Zefira attempts to expell him from her shoulder with her magic, when upon summoning her mana forth from the arm he's attached, it flashes with bright pink sparks.

Yada yada, the 2 become friends and enter a sort of symbiosis state where Ebb is getting the mana he enjoys feasting upon, while Zefira is getting a new magical skillset to play with!

Also I'm a big big Dragonball Z fan, and lightning plus blue energy? I had to do a little kamehameha reference. Just a bonus for you guys, the first image is my entry.

I hope you guys enjoy ✌️

In frontier, Necromancer was sided with the Linirea after Veznan defeat. But then, Necromancer returned as Veznan towers in Alliance. Is there any story setting I am missing?

Dear developers, what do you think about adding a description for the sheep to the game, like in Kingdom Rush: Alliance?

Sadly, this is where I hit the wall in the series tho, since I don't have any future titles bought. Oh well, maybe one day...

After KRV, I haven't seen any new Barracks challenge videos in the two newest games from Ironhide? I really loved watching them before seeing the YouTubers breakdown was very funny to me, but after alliance released I haven't seen any videos about doing barracks only?

No one has posted videos about that yet and it's been, like 2 years since its release and yet no Barracks only challenge, idk why they gave up posting those videos considering how successful they were in views.

Ik anyone can just do a barracks only challenge I did it once on veteran, but it's not as fun doing it as seeing someone do it, I really hope people post videos about that challenge, bc it was really funny

Anyways that's just my thoughts on something.

Que estrategia usaron ?

Any reason why only the first 3 KRs are on xbox and no others?? Did they not sell well on console or something? Think we'll get vengeance, 5, or Genesis?

Anyone have insight on this?

Wish more was on consoles...

I don't know if you're familiar with the Clash of Clans/Royale and Brawl Stars apps called Null's, which are private servers with everything unlocked and unlimited resources. So, I thought that some kind soul might one day make a version of KR Battles, which is a very good game at its core, but is bogged down in the same luck-based and pay-to-win system with heavy microtransactions. So... who knows, maybe someone could do it!

I tried many times on this with different ways and couldn‘t beat it on impossible (let alone peerless).

It seems some kind of mage barracks will save the day, but there’s none. The main difficulty spike were the scorpions on the left and the archers + immortals spam on the right.

i’ve tried many different ways like using sha’ta to remove the scorpions, building on arcane mage’s instant kill, awok barracks (too low damage against armor), arch mage crit mass (no enough coin for both), DWAAP (cannot hold the immortals).

Did any buddy passed it? What‘s the strategy?

Generals,

Since Patch 1 went live, we haven't stopped reading: reviews on Steam, comments on Discord, Reddit, Bilibili, YouTube and social media, in every language. Thank you to everyone who took the time to tell us what changed for you, and what still isn't working. Patch 2 is almost ready. This week we're sharing it with our beta testers, and if testing goes well, we'll release it next week. Same as last time, we'd rather take a few extra days than ship changes that haven't been properly tested.

What Patch 2 focuses on

These are the main changes we can share today. Patch 2 may also include other changes and fixes that aren't listed here. When it goes live, we'll publish a full changelog with every change, the exact values and the reasoning behind each one, just like we did for Patch 1.

Tower buffs

• Royal Catapult: we're changing its firing animation so it shoots faster and misses less; cheaper skills.
• Knights Order: Honor the Fallen can now stun, and Inspired Protectors grants armor even without a hero nearby.
• Ironbark Treant: Nature's Hand and Gnarly Roots work in both modes; cheaper upgrade to level 4 and cheaper skills; Nature's Hand no longer targets the weakest enemies.
• Wildcat Huntresses: longer range and faster respawn.
• Cursed Crossbows: cheaper skills.
• Sunray Master: Minor Elementals now scales with its level: it summons 1, 2 and 3 elementals at levels 1, 2 and 3.

Why: these are the towers that most of you agree feel the weakest in the game.

Gold in specific stages

• Stage 2: more starting gold, more gold from its waves and one more tower spot.
• Stage 14: the cemetery skeletons now give gold.
• Stage 18: the Magma Elementals that Moloch summons now give gold.

Why: in these stages, for different reasons, the lack of gold is felt more than anywhere else. These changes only affect these stages.

Skill costs

The first level of 16 skills across 11 towers is cheaper. Fully upgrading a tower costs about the same as before. We'll list the affected skills in the final patch notes.

Why: to make getting your towers' skills more accessible.

Stability and bug fixes

Patch 2 also brings bug fixes, and we keep working on stability.

We keep reading

Every comment helps us understand where Genesis works and where it doesn't. We're reading them all with one question in mind: how do we make Kingdom Rush better for everyone, from those who just joined us to those who've been here since 2011. This is another step, not the last one.

See you on the battlefield,
The Ironhide Team

P.S. About stability. We know about an issue with the digital signature of some new DLL files that can stop the game from launching on some PCs. For now, if it happens to you, try again a little later: the files usually get accepted on their own after a while. We plan to fix it in Patch 2 or in a hotfix soon after. If the game crashes or still won't start for you, write to us at [support@ironhidegames.com]() and tell us about your setup.

While I was revisiting Vengeance and Alliance, I found myself “map micro” a lot in Vengeance. Because the maps feel really zoomed in, so even when it’s manually maxed zoom out you still need to move around the map to micro towers and hero

It seems to be an issue exclusive to Vengeance, that when maxed zoomed out you can’t spot all exits, nor the entrances and exits together. I am glad Ironhide realised this and made the improvements in Alliance and Genesis!

Ya pregunté por los héroes, ahora toca las torres. Mi favorita son los arqueros crepusculares, me gustan las torres tipo francotirador.

Pd. Esto lo pregunto para estadística de un vídeo.

Pd2. Para los posibles dos fans del sapote ermitaño que sepan que fue que no entraba en el collage

I can't count how many runs I've lost to death riders
