TABLE OF CONTENTS

How Kingdom Rush Battles Works

Each battle pits two players against each other on mirrored battlefields — your arena at the bottom, your opponent’s at the top.

  • Build towers by tapping available slots and choosing your defense.

  • Earn gold by defeating waves of enemies.

  • Upgrade towers for more firepower and better control of your lane.

Every match is a test of speed, timing, and tactical thinking.

Command Your Heroes

Deploy your heroes to key points and move them strategically to defend or attack.
Pro tip: Place ranged heroes like Alleria behind your barracks to protect them while they deal heavy ranged damage. Each hero has unique abilities, so learning how to position them effectively is essential for victory.

Cast Powerful Spells

Unleash your magic! Spells are cast by dragging and dropping them onto the field.
They can wipe out enemies or turn the tide — but beware, each one has a cooldown, so timing is everything.

Use Boosters to Outsmart Your Opponent

At the start of every wave, you’ll choose a booster.
Some improve your defense, others disrupt your rival’s strategy.
Pick wisely — boosters add a fresh layer of depth to each battle.

Tower Skills and Leveling

Once your tower reaches level three, you can unlock tower skills that either:

  • Strengthen your defense, or

  • Send counterattacks to your rival’s side

Mix and match these upgrades to create the ultimate defensive layout

Express Yourself with Emotes

Show your personality on the battlefield!
Use emotes to cheer, celebrate, or taunt your rival mid-match — because victory feels even better when shared.

Build Your Perfect Deck

Before each match, assemble your deck of heroes, towers, and spells.

You’ll find familiar faces like Alleria, Gerald, and Ashbite, and towers from every Kingdom Rush era, from Archers to Necromancers.

Tip: Equip at least one of each tower type for a balanced, all-round strategy.

Mix Classic and New Spells

Combine legendary favorites like Rain of Fire and Reinforcements with new tactical options such as Polymorph to surprise your enemies and protect your kingdom.

Level Up and Grow Stronger

Each victory rewards you with chests full of cards and gold.
 Use them to upgrade your towers, heroes, and spells.
 The more you play, the stronger your deck becomes — simple as that.

 Card Rarities Explained

Cards come in four rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
 Higher rarities are harder to find but deliver greater power.

Want to progress faster? Use gold to buy more cards, or simply keep battling to earn them naturally.

Rise Through the Ranks

Once your deck is battle-ready, it’s time to climb the leaderboard.
 Earn trophies, unlock new arenas, and face stronger opponents as you rise toward the ultimate stage — The Stadium.

Only the best players make it there. Do you have what it takes to become a legend?
