Kingdom Rush Alliance Towers Tier List

[alexplayzKR]

Brief rundown for the rankings:
C tier:
Brewmasters: Best at tier 1 to apply the 40% dmg debuff
Demon pit: Best at tier 1 to act as a control barrack
Flamespitter: Expensive af, long cooldown abilities, outclassed by Tricannon
Stargazer: Great at taking out Dust Cryptids / Insta kill glitch
Longbows: Overkill, weak harrasers, very slow attack speed
Rocket gunners: Good clean up at tier 4, low HP, outclassed by other barracks

B tier:
Dune Sentinels: Powerful when spammed, weak against armoured enemies
Grim Wraiths: Only 2, but powerful units + tower switch utility + Overseer cheese

A tier:
Paladins: The best barrack, unkillable when the 1st ability is maxed out
Necromancer: Death rider :skull:, beacon can buff the hero spell of Bonehart who is the best hero in the game
Outpost: Great single target, can miss, great abilities and utility
Tricannon: Max bombardment, NEVER buy Overheat

S tier:
Arborean Emmisary: Cheap to get, great support abilities, 50% dmg amplifier buff, best support tower
Channeler: Insane dps ouput, always max beam overflow
Royal archers: Can solo all levels, useless eagle, broken Armor piercer
Arcane Wizard: Bosses/Mini-Bosses a problem? Here is the solution! Great support capabilities with the tower buff.

Depends on how people see and use the towers

I like how you started from C tier instead of D tier, since even the "bad" towers are just okay-ish at worst.
Personally, I would've put Rocket Gunners and Grim Wraiths much higher, but those are the only major changes I'd make. Also I'm glad you put Necromancer that high, I feel like most people underrate it.

[MarkTheDevourer]

I know I’ve said this on like two other channels already, but arcane wizards going from mediocre in the first game to absolutely amazing in alliance is really awesome for me. Hell, they were pretty great in legends if you count their appearance there.

[cassiamomberg]

i think opinions may vary from person to person, because i personally love using a lot of the "low tier" towers, though i do admit the good old archer spam never fails

[trungnguyenthanh]

In my own experience, artillery tower don't have too much chance to shine, especially in the 3rd area or the DLC one, where the flying enemies are very annoying, the spawn units have high speed, and strong guys with tough amour appear. With their high cost, I can build barrack and archer/magic tower to support them, more effective than rely on slow area dmg of tricannon or brewmaster (but reduce enemy's dmg is a good point for me to use brewmaster)

[spacefogil]

Rocket Gunners for me is A tier, it single handedly won me the level with the purple pool that creates giants on impossible.

I put them max upgrade (no abilities upgrades) inside the hole blocking the pool, it killed them all and also sniped the coming enemies.

[anteaterhi]

This is a pretty fair list honestly, I don’t have big disagreements with any of these takes

[Wither-xjcp]

I like the change compared to the first one you made now that you have more experience with the towers, cool list

[stefaniecraig]

Good list, I agree with most things other than the fact I'd move demon pit and the gunners up a bit, but that might be my bias because of how fun they are, even if the pits level 4 abilities are great. I love how the four starting towers are super overpowered compared to the garbage in vengeance, even if i hate Royal Archers.

May I know the name of this soundtrack? IT is that good 😎😎

[wirral]

Finaly an agreeable tier list. So im not the only one who saw the potential in emmisary

[Flashandrevan]

I very like rocket gunners imo one of the best tower in the game

[mephisto]

Arborean emissaries S tier is a huge stretch, you can just build any other tower that does actual damage

[muridteladan]

Why is arborean emisery so high?as love i use them with paladin and tricannon i still wouldn't rank this no 4

[Plaguedwithdeath]

I find demon pit oddly effective, the best way that I found use for it is to get two of them at an important choke and max them out with their abilities since big boss would do 400 explosive damage plus 120 true burn damage over a course of 5 seconds. Have the boss explode two or more guys and he does big work. I would put demon pit in B tier, but I do see how other would find it less effective.
There are also some placements that I disagree with as well but it isn’t as large as the demon pit one and it only changes their placement by like one or two rankings which is negligible. Overall though I do agree generally with this tier list.

[raden]

Read your desc in the pin comment and honestly even though i disagree with some placement (as different opinion always varies of course) you did really well on justfying them compared to your hero tierlist

All that said i find it hilarious that nearly everybody who exclusively played on impossible (me included) practically had same idea which tower is S tier (only saw one tier list who put arborean on a instead of s)

[ashwanikumarsingh]

flamethrower is probably top 5, Its both abilities are sick, Place Barracks and see the magic

[adventurianist]

Ayo, what is the song you used?! It sounds so badass!

[BigFatPandaaa]

Do you think there will be a black friday sale for the heros/towers?
