Kingdom Rush best hero for each game
Each Kingdom Rush has heroes, and these are the best ones
Updated on August 5, 2024 - Added the best heroes for Kingdom Rush Alliance as well
Since the first of the Kingdom Rush games, heroes have been a critical mechanic. Though you can only have one hero on the field at a time, they can prove to be essential in turning the tide of battle. They act as special melee units that can be directed all over the field to lend their strength and support wherever you need them. Each game has many heroes to choose from with varying abilities and stats. You'll only receive a handful of heroes through progression with most of them being in-game purchases.
- Here are the best towers in Kingdom Rush Vengeance
While you'll have access to plenty of heroes as you progress through the different missions, you won't be able to utilize all of them. You'll typically be limited to one hero per battle and based on your choice, you can change tower arrangements to complement them. Like towers, heroes have a mix of passive and active abilities, the latter of which has a cooldown after use. You can also buy upgrades between missions that apply to all of your heroes. While in the field, your heroes will take damage but will recover over time. When a hero falls, they have a respawn timer.
Each game offers between 13 to 14 unique heroes. The following list shows all of the Kingdom Rush heroes ranked by Damage and names the top three heroes for each game.

Ingvar Bearclaw
When you've got the option of literal bear strength to deploy, it only makes sense to do so. That's why Ingvar Bearclaw stands above the other heroes with such bulk and strength. His high attack power and health allow you to plop him down into the middle of any battle to deal some serious damage. Though he has no ranged attacks, he can summon reinforcements with Ancestor Call and turn into a stat-empowered bear after his health drops below 60 percent.Elora Wintersong
Of all the seasons to control, Elora Wintersong proves that winter is the most devastating. Being a magic user, she focuses on dishing out lots of damage from a distance. She can also get around the field in no time with her very high speed. Though she doesn’t have the most health, she can evade damage easily. With Permafrost and Ice Storm, surrounding enemies will be ripe for the picking from her and your forces.Oni
From Japanese mythology comes the vicious demon spirit known as Oni. Another melee attacker, Oni uses his dual blades to tear through enemy units rapidly. He has a high enough speed for crossing the battlefield swiftly and can take a lot of punishment with all of his health and decent armor. Both of his abilities, Sword Torment and Death Strike, hit hard and ignore all resistances and armor when landing.Now that we are done with the best heroes for Kingdom Rush, let's check the Frontiers!

Khaz, the Warlord
Bulls can charge into battle when provoked and Kahz knows how to use this to deadly effect. A true warrior, his good chunk of health allows him to tank a lot of hits while also drawing from his armor. He's one of the highest damaging heroes on the roster and has a pretty decent recovery rate. His key abilities, Bull Rush and Doom Spin, let him do solid damage to multiple foes while Roar of Fury boosts the power of nearby towers.Nivus, the Grand Wizard
Magic is powerful so it's good to have an experienced Wizard, like Nivus, who knows how to use it. This allows him to use his arcane abilities to dish out good damage from range while also keeping himself safe. Though he doesn't have a lot of health, he can recover moderately quickly to stay in the fight. He has abilities to boost his own attack power while Disintegrate allows him to instantly eliminate a group of enemies with less than 480 health total.Captain Blackthorne, the Corsair
Pirates are made for fighting and Captain Blackthorne is a leader among them. With both a sword and a pistol, he's able to do good damage up close and from afar. He has good health and a fast recovery rate, which makes up for his lack of armor. To go along with his piracy, Blackthorne has a mixed bag of abilities to boost himself, rewards, and to let him do things like summon a Kraken to the field.
