Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD News

Hey, General! Did you miss your favorite ovine reporter? I bring you an exclusive interview with the hottest hero to join the Alliance—literally. We'll meet with Kratoa, the Molten Fury. Let's see what he has to say!

Sheepy: “Let’s start with the burning question—why did you join the Alliance?”

Kratoa: “Grymbeard’s machines wake Kratoa. BOOM! CLANK! Kratoa ANGRY! Want smash Grymbeard. Alliance smash too. Kratoa join Alliance.”

Sheepy: “Where do you come from, and what was your life like before all this?”

Kratoa: “Darksteel Mountains home. Sleep deep in lava. Quiet. Hot. Years and years. Kratoa wake. Time to smash. Take back home. Nap again… hotter!”

Sheepy: “But, uh, what exactly are you? We’ve got some curious readers!”

Kratoa: “Kratoa lava. Ancient. Strong. Always burn. No explain. Just smash!"

Sheepy: “Alright, alright—no need to boil over! So, once Grymbeard is defeated, what’s next for you?”

Kratoa: "Fight with Alliance. For while. Then back home. Back to nap."

Sheepy: “I think that’s enough heat for today! Any last words for our readers?”

Kratoa: “Kratoa no talk much. Stay out of way... or Kratoa roast!”

There you have it, folks! Kratoa’s not one for long speeches, but you’ve got to admit he’s one molten force of nature you don’t want to mess with. Good thing his rage is on our side ... most of the time!

Until next time, stay cool—or stay out of Kratoa’s path!
Sheepy out!

We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear, and we’re excited to share some changes we made to Abominor. Many of you raised concerns about its tower-destroying mechanic, and we’ve reworked it to make the encounter more balanced and rewarding.

[h3]What's New?[/h3]

Abominor will no longer outright destroy towers. Instead, towers will now be reduced to rubble. You’ll have the option to repair these ruins, restoring your tower back to action—for a cost. This change keeps the tension high without feeling overly punishing. Additionally, Abominor’s stats have been adjusted to ensure a fair but challenging experience.


[h3]Abominor's adjustments:[/h3]

Speed (across phases):

• Old: 22/19/14/10/7
  
• New: 24/21/17/14/12

Restore HP on Phase Up:

• Old: 1700/2200/1700/2200
  
• New: 1700/2200/1700/4000

Tower Eating Cooldown:

• Old: 12/12/18/18/20
  
• New: 12/12/16/16/18

Say hello to Kratoa, the living embodiment of "Don’t talk to me before my coffee!" He’s fiery, explosive, and clearly not in the mood for anything but destruction.

He was awakened from his deep nap by Grymbeard’s very questionable activities on the Darksteel Mountains... and now he's absolutely fuming. Check out his Hero Spolight to watch him in action!

Grymbeard’s army is waiting for your creations!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3368630/Kingdom_Rush_5_Alliance_TD__Colossal_Dwarfare_Campaign/

A Dwarven madman is creating a giant war automaton to subjugate the Kingdom. There is no time to waste! The Alliance must reach the recondite mountains where the metal giant is nearly complete and halt its construction before it's too late!

Fortunately, new allies arrived in response to the dire news. The northern dwarves sent the Cannoneer Squad—Linirean sharpshooters that rain lead over their enemies. The Dark Army enlisted Kratoa, a furious lava elemental enraged by the machinery noises. Let’s hope their strength will suffice to stop the crazed inventor!


[h3]DLC CONTENTS[/h3]

• 5 Treacherous New Stages through the Darksteel Mountains
  
• 12 Deadly New Enemies: from clones to sinister mechanical creations
  
• 2 Minibosses and 3 Epic Boss Fights, waiting to be disassembled!
