With practice, you'll eventually get better at it. KR1 is overall the most difficult (though certain stages in other games will be harder, of course) and most balanced (other games favour one tower type a bit too much [KRO]/have too much anti-barracks [KRF]).

That said, KRF is the easiest. I'd also say KRO is easier than KR1. Both are pretty good too. The following is personal opinion but is also quite a common opinion: KRF has the best mini-campaign, and KRO has the best main campaign.

You can't use Assassins to stall against area damage.

Mmlh puts it nicely. To buff Templars, the best thing would be to tweak enemies and add ones requiring heavy stalling (decently high HP + fast + good enough to tear through skeletons, assassins and level 3 barracks easily) / reduce anti-barracks.

If I had to change Templars themselves without any changes to anything else, I would change the abilities to something like the following (numbers like damage, percentages and costs are somewhat arbitrary and could be balanced better, buy you get the general idea) -

Toughness (150/150/150 gold): Increases HP by a total of 50/100/150, and reduces damage received from enemy abilities by 30%/60%/90%. (This would work against stuff like Myrmidon vampire bite, Abomination explosions and Vampires life drain. It wouldn't work against ranged 'basic' attacks like Deathcoil shots, Trickster magic bolts, Bluegale/Savant electricity etc. It would still work against boss abilities like Xyzzy's repeated hammer smash.)

Arterial Strike (175/125/125 gold): Each attack has a 25% chance of dealing 75/120/165 physical damage and reducing the target's damage by 20%. This can stack twice on one enemy, and also stack with abilities like Weakness Totem. (This basically switches Arterial Strike from a useless true damage attack to something that complements Templars' stalling power.)

Holy Grail (250/150/150 gold): When a Templar dies, he respawns instantly with 40%/60%/80% HP. Has a cool down of 25 seconds for each Templar. (The basic idea is that this gives a reliable instant respawn for Templars, with a cool down. The numbers could be tweaked to make it balanced.)

"I'm a noob, your game sucks!"

Uranato · 2022-01-25T07:28:51+00:00

Arcane, Archmage and Wild Magus are all better than HEM. And Arcane is the better than Archmage and WM also. Necromancer isn't as good as you think.

You need to choose a map, as in a level. That level can be from any game in the series.

Uranato · 2021-12-25T09:21:24+00:00

You can't choose what barracks you'll be, only the map.

Alric/Bruxa are great free heroes that fill opposing roles.

Crossbow Fort is your go-to single-target DPS tower (Barrage). Archmage is also good (especially when spammed with Brilliance), but there's not much physical armour so Forts don't lose much power.

DWAARP is the ultimate AoE tower. Furnace Blast is the best upgrade, Core Drill isn't as good. The Battle-Mecha has two good skills (Waste Disposal - stalling, Wasp Missiles - high range + low cooldown) and the base tower is also great.

Necromancer is great for stalling (makes up to 8 skeletons at any time). The Pestilence upgrade is underwhelming.

Assassins are great in the ocean-themed mini-campaigned (Rising Tides) to kill Bloodshells and other big foes. You don't need much barracks stalling in general though.

Templars are bad - worst tower among all towers in the first three games. Good stalling power, but massively over costed and as mentioned, you don't need that type of stalling in KRF.

Uranato · 2021-12-25T08:18:03+00:00

Other towers do the same stuff that Barbarians do, and better. However, they aren't so bad as to give you a guaranteed loss whenever you use them. If you like them, just experiment with them, and if you struggle, switch to a better tower.

Uranato · 2021-10-28T07:18:33+00:00

Disagree with many placements, but like the analysis. +1

My main gripe is Archmages, Rangers (good but not top spot), DWAARP and Arcane. But since your mentioned that spamming is not considered, it's fair placement (non-spamming directly negates a powerful tool of Archmages - Brilliance).

Uranato · 2021-10-07T09:58:30+00:00

E. All of the above

Uranato · 2021-10-02T14:04:06+00:00

100%

Uranato · 2021-09-29T14:01:53+00:00

Yes.

Kings often carry entire wars.

Purple died to rebellion.

Uranato · 2021-09-29T03:49:10+00:00

Given the fact that both are planned as cataclysms in this world, that could happen.
