Best Heroes in Kingdom Rush Origins
We have created a list of the heroes that we found most effective whilst playing through the story mode of Kingdom Rush Origins. It is worth stating that different heroes can be more effective on each specific stage as the layout and enemy type varies.
The best and most effective heroes in Kingdom Rush Origins are:
Phoenix
The best hero in Kingdom Rush Origins is Phoenix, this was our favorite all-round hero that we played with and we considered the most overpowered.
Phoenix is a flying hero that uses a range of fire magic to perform its attacks. It can hover over ground units, which makes it great for levels and stages with terrains that are unreachable by other ground-based heroes. Phoenix is excellent for levels that have a large number of enemies. One of the best skills available is the ability to lay explosive eggs, multiple eggs can be laid at once and provide you with backup if enemies get past your first line of defense.
Wilbur
The second strongest hero in Kingdom Rush Origins is Wilbur.
Wilbur is a unique hero that uses a steam-powered robot to attack enemies. Wilbur uses both ranged and area-focused abilities that can perform devastating amounts of damage to enemies. This is probably one of the most passive heroes in-game as he requires little control after you position him in an optimum spot early on. Wilbur is most effective on levels that feature powerful boss enemies.
Eridan
Making the top spot for free heroes in Kingdom Rush Origins is Eridan. Eridan is the first hero that is unlocked on the game which makes him accessible to every player.
Eridan is a ranged hero who features a high damage output. His attack rate is quick and can deal a lot of damage in short succession. When multi-shot reaches its full potential it becomes a game changer that can quickly take out powerful enemies. Eridan is suited for levels where enemies can approach from multiple directions.
Vez’nan
Another great choice and fan favorite is Vez’nan. Vez’nan requires controlling multiple times in battle which will reward you greatly against hoards of powerful enemies.
Vez’nan is a magic-orientated hero who has a lot of control on the battlefield. He uses a combination of powerful spell attacks and dark magic to weaken enemy troops and bosses. Vez’nans special attack can summon a powerful arcane guardian who will help you in battle. Vez’nan is a great choice for levels that feature powerful enemies with high HP.
Bravebark
Bravebark makes it next on our list. If you after looking for a powerful melee hero who can deal high amounts of damage, this may be the choice for you.
Bravebark is a ground-based hero who can perform powerful melee attacks and use nature-based abilities to control enemies on the battlefield. Bravebark can summon soldiers to fight alongside him which greatly helps out against large groups of enemies. Bravebark is well-suited for levels that feature a lot of enemies as his crowd control abilities come into play.
Catha
The final free-to-play hero on our list is Catha. Catha can summon multiple allied troops, heal allied units and also perform powerful magical attacks.
Catha is a ranged hero who uses magic to attack enemies. She can heal allied troops whilst fighting alongside them using her magic. Catha is another free-to-play hero and is unlocked early on in the game, this makes her a popular choice in the community. Catha is well suited for levels that feature hoards of enemies and also armored enemies.
Lynn
Lynn is one of the most powerful DPS heroes in the game who has multiple skills and attacks that deal devastating amounts of damage.
Lynn can curse enemies which will reduce their damage and slow their movement speed for a set duration. Lynn is one of the few heroes that can be used on almost all levels, in these cases you may need to play the stage multiple times to move Lynn to her optimum position. Lynn is an ideal choice for players who want more of an active hero who they control and position multiple times in a level.
Prince Denas
Prince Denas makes it onto our list with his range of strong melee attacks and his ability to heal himself.
Prince Denas has a number of powerful abilities that can help you out in battle, pair this with his ability to heal himself which makes him super effective in battle. Prince Denas is extremely useful at holding enemies in place whilst your towers deal damage to them. He has an attack in which he throws his shield which will strike multiple enemies or the same enemy multiple times.
