Kingdom Rush Alliance | Tower TIER LIST!

Kingdom Rush alliance tower tier list!!

Kingdom Rush alliance is here. Here is my official tier list. The towers are more balanced and epic than ever. Enjoy.

[therealmorganofficial]

Royal archers are A tier. Multi Shot is great.

Elven Stargazer is NOT A Tier. WAY TOO expensive, and they don't perform well. Their explosive star ability is very cool, but only good for weak enemies. And their damage just isn't good. C tier.

Arborean Emissary is A tier. Great support and damage multiplication, but trickier to use. Put it at a choke point by your DPS towers. Stunning is great.

Flamespitter is good. Hard to rank. So many flying enemies, but very expensive. B+ maybe...

Necromancer got nerfed. I'd put it in A tier now.

I still think Eldritch is best due to melting 4 enemies at once constantly. It kills every enemy quickly, big and small, and it kills the final boss quicker than any tower.

The fact that your tierlist just have 1 C tier tower (isn't even bad), show how balanced the tower it was

[alexc]

Dude this tier list is spot on, and that is rare. Necromancers are a win button, royal archers shoot slow and cost too much and can't counter threatening flying enemies, thus being out classed. Great job!!

[gengarisnotinsmash...]

Quick note about the arberian emmisary:

Enemies hit by it appear to take more damage, and it's noticeable, and it prioritizes enemies it hasn't debuffed. This means it does a great job of at least tagging flying enemies, meaning that the towers or heros you have at the back have a much easier time dealing with them. Great for corrupted stalkers since when it hits them, they just teleport in front of every other enemy and immediately get targeted by your other towers.


Also holy cow does this game have so many flying enemies, gone are the days where a single crossbow fort would solo every wave of flying enemies.

Good list, i agree with most of the placements.

My personal tierlist after playing trough the game on veteran:

S-Tier:
Royal Archers:
There is no other tower in the game that is as gold efficient as this one. They can hit everything, can even pierce armor. The armor piercer-skill is one of the best in the entire game, aslo very cheap.

Eldritch Channeler:

They are not that cheap, but the dps is incredible. The upgrade that chains to further units makes this one of the best towers.

A-Tier:
Necromancer:
The fact that even the low-lvl. tower spawns skelletons is insane. Fair price, can charge its damage and it has good upgrades. The only reason why thi is not s-tier is the fact that its only decent against flying targets.

Dune Sentinals:
Against big groups of light- or unarmored enemies this is one of the best options in the game. The upgrades are mediocre, but the base-attacks potencial dps is very high for its gold price.
But they are relly bad against single targets.

Arborean Emissary:
This tower really surprised me. Its mainly a support tower, but a very good one. The vines-upgrade is like wrath of the forest and thats all that you need to know. Luckily its also the cheapest mage tower and it has the highest range of all towers. The only reason i dont put it even higher is that this tower is not very strong on its own, so fitting it into one of the five tower slots is bit akward because you still need other towers to deal the damage.

B-Tier:

Paladin Covenant:
Cheap and reliable. The best baracks it the game. The tier 3 tower is most of the time enough to do what its supposed to which is good, so you can spend more gold on ranged towers

Arcane Wizard:
Pretty good tower. Good against bosses and minibosses or single high armored units. Both upgrades are usefull, its just that the competition is a little cheaper and better against groups of enemies.

Grim Wraiths:
As you said, they have a lot of potencial because you can micro them and save some gold this way. Especially in the early game of a level with mutiple paths they can be very good. High skillcap tho.

Ballista Outpost:
I understand why some people like them, but i personally prefer the normal archers. The Ballista Outpost is a little bit more expensive and from my experience it tends to waste a lot of its damage.
Its also too unreliable against groups of fast units. But its not bad


C-Tier:
Rocket gunners: They can attack flying enemies. But they are pretty expensive and in combat they dont prioritize the flying enemies. So in most cases you just want to build normal ranged towers and maybe a low level paladin tower anyway.

Dwarven Flamespitter, Battle Brewmasters & the Tri-Cannon:
All artillery-towers are unfortunately only C-tier which is sad. You can not invest this much gold and then have no attack option against flying enemies. Esspecially not on so many maps with 2 or even 3 paths. I really hope they add so additional levels with very little to no flying enemies so those towers can shine a little bit more.

Demon Pit:
Its ok, but not reliable enough. In most levels you have to hold a chokepoint because of the enviromental design. With upgrades - yes, not bad, but its too expensive to get to.

D-Tier:
Elven Stargazer:
I really wanted to like this tower but its really not good.
Too expensive. It only starts to become good at level 3 or 4 and only with the starburst upgrade. Against the small, fast enemies in the third area it can kinda be niche, but even then there are better and cheaper options. It also doesnt help that the other 4 mage-towers are very strong, cheaper and deal more reliable damage against armored and flying enemies.

Demon Pit is actually good. Crazy. Great list, me! lol

[Passionmate]

All towers are awesome!
Each having their own usage to utilize the gameplay.
And thank you for giving Stargazer and Paladin a good spot on the list.
Can't wait to see more challenges 👍

[Sam-ry]

Now give us early rushed hero tier list ❤❤❤❤🥰

[aldoushuxley]

Imo (only have the free towers) this is the most balanced set of towers so far. I really like the design!
No towers are truly bad, or at the very least all towers have their own unique nieche

[CaptainFalcon]

Necromancer, Ballista Outpost, and Paladins. All you need. But all you really need is Necromancers

[aldoushuxley]

The Eldritch Channelers are crazy.
With the upgrade that lets you target 3 additional enemies for 75% of the damage, you just straight up multiply your damage by 3.25, and for only 450 gold

Always the first upgrade you should get, and makes this a pseudo AoE tower too. Absolutely nuts

[ivan]

heroes tier list next?? I feel like it was just yesterday this game was announced lol

[Magmatica]

The tricannon is great. Its good for crowd control and is surprisingly good at single targets

[VenusKembuan]

Man, I can't believe that they make eldritch channeler as free tower and make elven stargazer as premium one

[phillipbutler]

I think alliance is the best game, better balancing than origins, fun level design, unique ability’s of towers and heroes, the only thing it misses is post game + endless mode, but I think that will come later.

ive been watchin u for so long thx for showin me alliance i cant buy it tho :( next can u do heroes tier list? i just enjoy watching ur tier lists thx bye

[kingdast]

Dune sentinels are immensly helpfull in later levels, their attack bounce back and forth between flying and ground enemies, which ensures that the flying eye that paralyze your troops gets taken out as well, they shred through glarelings on the ground, and require little stalling to take out their bigger kin as well.
i also like how it keep bouncing back and fortg between 2 enemies.
i don't give them the razor upgrade, only the money shot, which considering how many glarelings are there, you get both profits and crowd control.
definitely A tier for me.

[davidklemen]

for a micro rts goblin like me, grim wraiths were a dream come true! they let me mold my defenses on the fly whitout losing any gold, i use them and the paladins because they arent really stalls, they are dps! using them and paladins together is amazing

[vprocambodia]

Eldritch Channeler is S Tier a gain since it’s best magic tower since KR Vengeance

[DEXTRME]

Missed Royal Archer pic in the end tierlist!
But i agree on this lists. It feels spot on.

I’m missing a tower like Swamp Thing from KRV in this game. Something super high range, super slow, high attack.
