CHAMPION Difficulty for Kingdom Rush - Rules & Advice

Ойындар

Champion Difficulty for the original Kingdom Rush, is a set of rules that I came up with, to introduce a more "balanced", challenging and active gameplay experience. This ruleset is meant for people who love the game, find themselves to be comfortable with Veteran, and are looking for a challenge to improve off of.
The ruleset is playtested on Steam, and it's therefore recommended to play this on that version, for the most authentic experience. It's of course also very playable on other versions, but there may be differences that can throw off the balance of the rules.
Have fun and good luck, you are going to need it!

    Update: Ten'shi is banned, except for Elite Irons where all heroes are allowed. I forgot to add something on the rule breakdown at the end, which is that: on the MAIN CAMPAIGN the 6 allowed heroes can be used on Irons and Heroics where the game allows them, but are banned from everything else, on the Main Campaign. I have corrected this in the description aswell. Anyway good luck and have fun!

    I tried this rule set and I only disagree with one thing, having the hero's banned on the main campaign. The point Of this ruleset is to make more active gameplay, but on the later stages in the main campaign I found not having a hero to be really boring and frustrating, now obviously this might just be a skill issue, but hero micro is very important to the gameplay loop of this game imo and removing it makes the game feel slower.

When the game is pushed to be harder, and the other heroes that fills his role are banned, he I really shines. He saved my ass on multiple levels.

    @@Cozyn3z KR1 Android is the same as Steam (except for Endless Mode being on Android and iOS). The main iOS differences are actually circumvented by the fact that Smart Targeting works on Musketeers on Steam, so that upgrade being banned will help save iOS from being at a disadvantage. However, there are some hero differences on iOS, such as Malik leveling up more slowly, King Denas's range having a donut shape that gives him a blind spot, Alleria shooting one less arrow, and Magnus's skills having Vengeance syndrome, where if you move him out of the animation of the ability, it wastes the cooldown. So, most every hero is weaker on iOS, which might matter more since towers are overall weaker than before, giving the hero more weight to carry. When I am done with LKR content I hope to play the Champion Difficulty Challenge from start to finish, so I'll let you know what I notice once I start!

    @@Voduke789 Interesting, I did notice some of those hero differences, the range on Magnus’ clones is huge. Also splash damage reduction is being put on top of the teslas damage on steam, so it has 31-66 damage with no smart targeting. On iOS if you don’t have smart targeting, the Tesla has the usual 66-121, but the splash damage reduces it on each attack, however it seems like the reduction works differently, I just played some more iOS and the Tesla definatly deals more damage, than it does on steam, but with smart targeting it’s the same on both versions. Like I stated in the video, meteors also tends to land more randomly on iOS, for instance On Champion, I can very consistently delete a demon lord with rain of fire without using reinforcements to hold him, but on iOS I have to use reinforcements to keep him in the residue to make sure he dies. Maybe all the advantages and disadvantages evens out in the end, I should have tested it more on iOS before releasing, but I thought of it too late.

    This seem like it would be mainly fun on Normal even though I usually play on Veteran. The way you'd have to give up almost all of the top strategies or overpowered upgrades seem really fun, but also seem it would be frustrating on the harder postgame stages on Veteran. Also, would it make sense to allow Tier 1 for Wrath of the Forest? From my experience Wrath of the Forest is mainly useful when maxed out, and at only Tier 1 it's a far cry from being as powerful as TIer 3.

    You get it, Veteran is supposed to get insane later on, and normal is already very challenging. If you enjoy normal, you can always try Veteran after, and then you will be even more dialled in. I considered allowing tier 1 Wrath of the forest, but I didn’t wanna leave any stalling options other than barracks, even though we are only talking 1 second stun, once you start micro’ing 3 barracks around the map, the game feels really good and is more engaging. I know the teleport is still there but the Arcane needs all the help it can get, and it isn’t very reliable anyway. Also its more simple to just ban it, I didn’t want to have too many tier 1 restrictions so the rules are easier to follow.

    Oh I forgot why I scrapped it in the first place. If you are playing on normal and even more so on casual, musketeers are not at all necessary, so if Wrath of forest tier 1 is allowed, you will have even less of a reason to use musketeers. On Veteran musketeers are really relevant, and the shrapnel shot almost seems required to beat some stages. So if you go from Normal to Veteran, there is now a higher chance, to have experienced the benefits of musketeers.

    This is not designed to be the most difficult challenge possible. It does reach insanity on a few stages if you play on Veteran. Android and iOS should be identical if not very similar, but yes let me know how it plays on that version! If it's the same as iOS I think Pit of Fire and Pandemonium is going to be very frustrating, beacuse the demon legions won't die to a single rain of fire on steam, so it's going to be even harder to get rid of them with the rain of fire on iOS & Android.

    I think it has been already answered, but why is Gerald allowed? I know he's free and everything, but he's like the 4th strongest hero in KR1. Isn't he going to become even more powerful on this difficulty because it encourages heavy use of barracks? Again, haven't tried this challenge myself yet, hard to evaluate. Under normal circumstances, there's major difference in power level between the remaining heroes, with Gerald and (to a lesser extent) Magnus rising above the others. Maybe both of them should be banned. Then there is a small chance for heroes like Bolin to see some use. I guess that Malik and King Denas will shine the most then. That's quite nice. I'd personally allow usage of Ingvar, Thor, Malik, Alleria, Bolin and Denas. This way you still have 3 moderately good melee heroes and 3 ranged (but more situational) heroes.

    Great challenge, I've tried to for myself. So far, I've managed to beat all campaign levels including their heroic and iron variants with one exception. The last level I just cannot beat on iron despite hours of struggle. The issues are the following: i absolutely have to kill demons before they reach the bottom because they are just gonna combust on my barracks, which leads to the second issue, the lack of aoe damage. So far the shrapnel shot has been the most effective one, but ultimately fails because of the third issue, the armored lane. Despite having sufficiently powerful mage towers on the right, they inevitably target the demons on the other lane. I believe earth elementals would solve the issue, but that is banned unfortunately, perhaps does anyone have any tips for the level?

Like I said in the video Malik becomes much more relevant, and on some stages performs better than Gerald. I was suprised by this myself, as I had intended to ban Gerald at first.

He was a hard hero to rank for Voduke, because he may either be useless or cheating, therefore his speciffic mechanics may make some stages beatable.

    Yeah I think Ingvar could have been left in there, I can't really remember why I banned him in the first place, I started testing back in february. In a way yes, Champion is meant to play less like a tower defense, you are observing less, and making more active decisions, which you could chose to do before, but here its more required. It's not going to be for eveyone, and not all restrictions are made to serve the balance, some are meant to incourage the more active style of play. I feel like balance restrictions are not that new of an idea, so I made something different, which I enjoy playing.

    Try it on Veteran, I think that will change your perspective. Sorcerers damage spread and armor lowering is so vital in this difficulty, arcane has high single target dps, but the sorcerer deals more damage to multiple targets if it can spread the curse around, however instakills are of course very good in the first kingdom rush. The idea of champion is that the difficulty comes from it being far harder to slow enemies down, so barbarians are not that op beacuse they die so quickly, they deal a lot of damage, and are good for flying enemies and a little stalling. Paladins holds ground for far longer than them, just not as long anymore, against enemies with high dps.

    I actually had that idea, but it was with the sorcerer. In one of the early renditions of this you could only buy 1 sorcerer pr. stage, but I felt like it would complicate it too much, and it was annoying because I didn’t wanna have any restrictions on the towers itself. So I ended up banning summon elemental, and then the sniper shot, and the polymorph was already banned, it ended up balancing out the 2 mages pretty well.

    The list of rules is very long, and those are left out to make them simpler to follow. I would not use the sheeping if I couldn't tap them, and I don't know if other people would, Wrath of the Forest tier 1 is interresting, but I prefer to get rid of as much stalling as possible, so barracks have more of a purpose, it almost feels like a new game to me now, if you compare the exploit based gameplay to Champion. Basicly I wanted to make it as hard is I could to stop enemies, so you have more of a reason to use instakills when the time is right, more of a reason to micro of barracks to keep them alive, and manage waves, it all amounts to a more active gameplay experience, where you are making more decisions pr. second.
