Tower Tier List
Scenario-based ranking of the 15 Kingdom Rush 6 towers. Every tier is explained with the reasoning and at least one replacement.
Because exact stats are unverified, this list ranks by category role and observable strengths against common threats. It is a decision aid, not a permanent verdict.
vs Crowds (swarm waves)
| Tier | Towers | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Royal Catapult · Dwarven Culverin | Artillery area damage shreds swarms. |
| A | Cursed Crossbows · Alchemist Shack | Area damage with extra utility. |
| B | Wildcat Huntresses · Knights Order | Blocking buys time for damage towers. |
| C | Archer Garrison | Single-target, weaker vs swarms. |
vs Armored (physical-resistant)
| Tier | Towers | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Scholar Mage · Sunray Master | Magic damage bypasses physical resist. |
| A | Light Priestess · Arcane Forger | Magic with support utility. |
| B | Royal Catapult | Area damage still chunks groups. |
| C | Archer towers | Physical focus struggles vs armor. |
vs Flying
| Tier | Towers | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Elven Elite Ranger · Archer Garrison | Archers reliably engage air. |
| A | Sentry Watchtower | Archer line coverage. |
| B | Light Priestess | Magic can reach most fliers. |
| C | Barracks units | Ground-only, can't block air. |
vs Bosses (single strong enemy)
| Tier | Towers | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Knights Order · Ironbark Treant | Blocking holds the boss in the kill zone. |
| A | Sunray Master · Royal Catapult | Focused damage on a single target. |
| B | Gold Prospectors | Situational boss damage. |
| C | Archer towers | Steady but low burst. |
