Kingdom Rush Battles PvP rewards heroes who can both absorb damage and eliminate key targets. Hacksaw, a Tank Melee Premium Hero, is unlockable in Arena – Bandit’s Lair, offering strong armor, high HP, and versatile crowd control.

Originally from the first Kingdom Rush, Hacksaw now brings his sawblade combat style into PvP, excelling at blocking enemies, dealing damage over time, and controlling lanes.

Who Is Hacksaw?

Hacksaw is a gnome warrior known for his toughness and battlefield utility. He excels at taking hits while dealing sustained damage over time, making him an essential tank for prolonged battles.

Strengths:

  • Absorbs large amounts of damage with high HP and armor

  • Can target flying enemies with his unique skills

  • Executes durable enemies with instakill abilities

Weaknesses:

  • Slow movement, limiting rapid repositioning

  • Moderate basic damage; relies on skills for high impact

  • Needs proper positioning to maximize area control

Hacksaw’s Skills

Flying Sawblade:
 Throws a blade that bounces between multiple enemies, dealing True Damage with each hit. Can target flying units, making Hacksaw versatile against air and ground enemies.

TIIIMBER:
 Delivers a high-damage strike to a single enemy with a chance of instakill, ideal for eliminating priority targets.

Sawmill:
 Deploys a spinning saw on the ground, dealing damage over time (DoT) to all enemies inside the area. Great for slowing and weakening enemy waves near chokepoints.

Tips and Tricks

  • Place Hacksaw near exits or spawn points, ideally under a high-damage Tower to maximize efficiency.

  • Use Flying Sawblade to handle groups of flying enemies, even though Hacksaw has no standard ranged attacks.

  • Activate TIIIMBER against high-HP enemies for a chance to instantly remove them from the battlefield.

  • Deploy Sawmill in areas where enemies tend to slip through your defense for continuous area control.

  • Hacksaw’s slow movement means he performs best when stationary at strategic points rather than micromanaged.

Why Use Hacksaw?

Hacksaw is a melee tank with both crowd control and execution abilities:

  • Excellent at blocking and controlling lanes under Tower fire

  • Can deal with flying units with his skillset

  • Ideal for long-lasting battles where sustained damage is crucial

  • Combines instakill and DoT skills to handle a variety of enemies
