Is the Hammerhold Campaign Worth It?

[@Mmlh1]

I _think_ the Wicked Sisters bug was only for level 4 but anyway it is fixed now. And I think it also means all pairs of Murglun Infernal Heat, Doom Tank ultimate, reinforcement burn, and Jun'pai ultimate now stack where they did not before, but I could be wrong there. Sandworm deals explosive but honestly it should probably deal phys - we asked for Ignis to be changed to explosive since we believed Sandworm was phys and it would be too similar and now they both deal explosive. Oh well. It also deals 400 damage per attack (which is likely not quite intended due to the effect lasting longer than specified in the files, like honestly all damage over time things). Instakill cooldown is 45 seconds I believe and it also kills all allied units in the range - it just kills everything. Isfet ultimate deals 400 true damage at max level. His plague thing deals up to 234-243 ish damage to enemies it touches (description is incorrect + it gets reapplied as long as the cloud is touching enemies, basically add 20 to the number in description then multiply by 1.3 or 1.35 to get the correct number). He only has a 50% chance to summon mummies. Shaolin only got the fix with Master Architects and the cost reduction for more monks upgrade, and now other damage bonuses display as well (Murglun and Oloch already affected it but it would not display before). It was otherwise unchanged. The only nerf in all of this update that was meant as a nerf and not a bugfix was the Blazing Gem nerf, by about 10%. And since it is now affected by Runes of Power unlike before, it has near unchanged average DPS output.

[@davidpereira5969]

its cool that the worm instakill also eats allies, i liked how in krf it just ate everything, was fun to make chokes and every once in a while yum a few immortals or scorpions

[@ahmadabughazaleh0]

Sad for Blazing Gem strategies for the boss won't be attacked by this tower, anyway I prefer using wicked sisters and times I used this tower on tanky frog (anyway got nerf the blue one only shield them when close on ally not like old times full line of shields 🤣) , Halloween ghosts and giant skeleton, moreover snow golems and ones on easy mode king dennas boss to try them out.

[@Zak-tk8wv]

Stack?

[@Mmlh1]

@@Zak-tk8wv Previously, if Wicked Sisters poison and e.g. reinforcement burn were both applied to the same enemy, it would only actually deal the damage from one of the two. But it is supposed to deal the damage from all of them, since they are different modifiers. That has now been fixed.

Friendly reminder to everyone that the hammerhold campaign on phones/steam is only 1$ cheaper than the entirety of kingdom rush frontiers on steam

[@moivaanmoi1547]

Inflation exists, frontiers is like 10 years old at this point

[@Xenylard]

@@Strelow321 My point is that you can pretty much get frontiers, which is considered by many to be the best kr for the price of 5 levels a hero and a tower in what is considered to be the worst kr by far.

[@Xenylard]

@@jeremyhu8418 but you get the WHOLE game for just this expansions price. is an expansion worth the same as an entire game where you have all heroes unlocked? shit, you decide if its worth it

[@The_SSSlopper]

Overall I enjoyed the campaign. It was the first time I enjoyed vengeance in quite a while. The new hero is pretty fun imo and the new tower is cool too. I finished the whole thing pretty quickly though, and I’m not sure if five new levels justify the price when you can buy frontiers for essentially the same amount.

[@therealmorganofficial]

Good point

[@The_SSSlopper]

@@therealmorganofficialWhat are your overall thoughts on the dlc? I definitely enjoyed it but I feel like they played it pretty safe especially considering the price. I would’ve loved to see more enemies or towers based on og frontiers. It’s a shame because it feels like Kingdom Rush is kinda dying and I was really hoping this update would be perfect.

[@therealmorganofficial]

It’s not perfect. But it wasn’t bad. A good effort at the least. I think we got enough for the money, considering other updates were already free, and companies do in fact need to make money lol. Overall, it’s good. I’ll be experimenting with the new hero and tower a bit. The new levels aren’t perfect, but they were certainly better even more fun on steam. They’re a good challenge and have new enemies which was most important to me

[@tamas9554]

Well, its still better than the more expensive heroes in the previous games, as some of them cost almost as much as the game does on Steam, where every hero is available. Bonehart on mobile costs 6.99$, but Frontiers costs 9.99$ on Steam with all heroes. Truly a microtransaction moment :D

[@Skarrier]

I like how the worm aims its instakill even on moving enemies, so it isn't missing it

[@alexplayzKR]

Personally I think the DLC was an excellent way to end KRV apart from the prize tag which is basically the same as the whole game. Considering we got so many free expansions I think the developers deserve some revenue and this DLC was a great opportunity for them. Also I am glad you liked my thumbnail!

For the sand worm I've been combining it with the ignis altar, and it's working miracles because of how swarm some of the levels get, ignis altar with true fire to slow enemies down and the sand worm goo makes enemies take max DMG, combine with orcs or something to help keep them on the area and you'll be solid.

[@TheWrathfulOni]

[@roland228]

It seems to me that the Sandworm Tower is extremely effective at stationary foes, but if an enemy is moving, they'll walk right over the zone of damage, severely reducing the damage they take. It has to be combined with means to keep enemies in place. Though, from a gameplay standpoint, I would have given it something other than the ability to slow enemies down (turn the spit into an acid spit that inflicts True Damage over Time?), meaning that it has to be comboed to be used to maximum effectiveness.

[@therealmorganofficial]

Yes. I mean almost every tower needs combos tho, besides I suppose mausoleum since it IS its own combo

[@renatojunior8254]

I think sandworm is just a worse lava bath tower.

[@alexcat6685]

10:52 man but his so cool. anyway I always felt the damage felt low for an explosion tower, though seeing it now it isn't that bad. Maybe have it have a chance to burn enemies on hit, that way its damage doesn't fall so easily to striders.

[@CzarsSalad]

Sandworm Hollow + Rotten Forest tower combo is really insane

[@therealmorganofficial]

Yes. Yes it is.

[@mrfubas3099]

I don't like the fact that this dlc is the latest attempt to extract money from players, because instead of giving the classic 3 levels for free they gave us 5 in the Frontiers climate. They say these will be difficult, but honestly I think the Rotten Forest campaign is more difficult because of the many different enemies. In this DLC we have about 6 new enemies? Also, I feel that these levels are getting really small (the previous campaign gave me the same feeling). Look at level 2 of this DLC, it's just a simple path that splits at the end. The enemies aren't anything special either - the Legionnaire is cannon fodder, the archers are archers, the falconer is just a more robust unit, the Assassins would be nice if they were invisible until they are stopped by units, the Elephants are at level 2 and are no breakthrough. Minibosses like Alric and Mirage are cool, but the level with the pyramid has no real boss, like wtf it's just another wave with a guy talking on top of the pyramid. objectively speaking, it's not worth the price, because for that money I can get the whole KR game. The new tower is similar to a volcano and is only good if you have something on it to stop the enemy. Nevertheless, I bought it and had a lot of fun.

[@alexcat6685]

7:30 It is redudant to Jiguo who basically has the same thing just it kinda deals less damage? basically its boring compared to rest of his kit how about instead: Grand Sacrefice: where Isfet Transforms into a completely melee focused character with a similar passive just with his damage is changed to Physical, he uses up 50% of his HP to turn into basically the buff version of Mummy Ra, his kills guarantee a mummy is spawned and has a 10% chance to summon a Mummy Ra, increased to 30% for his kill to turn into one. Changing his abilities: Black Swarm Stays the same Frog curse will instead turn into cursed Fist where He charges a high damaging fist that executes any target under 30% HP other wise their Resistences are reduced and heal him for 25% of the damage done. Rain of Fire and ice(kinda boring name for a cool ability, why not call it Rain of Discord) becomes Frozen Volcanic lake, Isfet crushes an are around him causing Tremors of Flame and ice, applying Slow and a fire application respectibly. BloodTorment Becomes Blood Tomb: Isfet Realses his own blood using 10% of his health to enrage himself and drop it around him dealing Heavy Magical damage. While Enraged any nearby Mummy gains similar effects. This makes it unique and strong to fit hi own kit, though in comparison to how simple the game made the rest yeah it looks overpowered. SO if thats not you taste I'll make it a typical ability with some soul: Crippiling Curse: Curse an enemy to be Slown heavily and increase the damage they take by 30%, upon death it will spread the curse to nearby enemies and increase the chance of a mummy every subsequent curse death. This reloves around his crowd control playstyle while giving him a form of follow up to gain the most reward. I just hate how Heroes are desgined man they're wayyy too simple which makes them boring.

[@chaitanyagupta6668]

Exactly, also what is that rain of ice and fire skill. It only activates when isfet is surrounded by enemies in close combat. I rarely se that ability happening because he is a ranged character afterall. I purposefully find myself bringing him to walk into the crowd at his slow speed to get use of that ability.

[@alexcat6685]

8:45 its abilities have way more range to support the tower, so its a more supportive tower to others I guess? to more than just barracks.

[@alexcat6685]

9:11 so the balance is a high cooldown, I guess that makes sense.

[@alexcat6685]

8:44 the feel underwhealming compared to skeleton towers own minions, maybe they should just stay around the main tower or have an upgrade thats more agressive focused compared to Skeletower's defensive armored bones. like Dune terrors can move backwards and extend the sight aka range of the Worm tower at rank 2. Also the spit, its mid because the tower already has a slow on their damaging ability, it should be enhanced to support it outside of making it happen I guess. Mucus Gob: Launch an Spit so acidic that it burns away enemy armor and roots them on intial hit, slowing any target on it. Rank 2 increases the damage applied by the tower and at a faster rate, grants healing to all allies in the Gob.

Too bad they don't do the "stealth until engage in melee combat" or "steal your money" anymore or else I would tear my hair out.

I like the dlc but I dont want them to repeat it now everytime they add new levels now

[@adventurianist2580]

The expansion was honestly fun. I will admit the price is questionable but the challenge felt real. Even with premium towers, you will be tested. I loved how Mirage didn’t get rekt in seconds, unlike Frontiers she actually put up a fight. I half wish Sha’tra was fought man to man, but let’s face it, his abductions, drone squadrons, and his new tower destroying power would ruin me! Alric went down like a champ. I felt bad fighting who might be the best free hero in Kingdom Rush. I will say I wonder where Cronan, Bruxa and the other heroes are at. I’m VERY glad Dante wasn’t there. I’d hate to fight him. And the dude’s powers would be devastating. I will admit I was hoping I’d get to see more of the Saurians. How i would love to use those fhooking deathcoil snipers on the enemy! All this aside, I feel like Iron Hide is trying to make up for their mistakes. They could’ve abandoned ship and forsaken the game like too many triple a companies. But they stuck with the game. And often, these sorts of late post-game updates are tests for new content for future releases. I really am curious as to where the story and setting is headed for next.

[@therealmorganofficial]

I feel he should be limted of what he can transform, like only temporarly for minions and atleast one tower until death. he's really deadly when combined with enemies due to how he nerfs you so highly. So he encourges you to expand and diverse your tower count.

[@ahmadabughazaleh0]

Question answered : Is DLC challenging ? Yeah seems to Are hero and tower worth it ? If S tear then sure Are vibes and ost good ? Sure they are great Now to other questions : Is campaign balanced ? (Like enemies are variant with power , support and resistance) Are bosses good to play ? Is campaign short or long ? (It shouldnt be how many levels you play , like having good time fighting against fishes in frontier bonus levels for long time or finish Origins main campaign in 3 days) These questions depend if I will buy the DLC or not but half questions are positive so maybe will buy it in steam .

7:12 I'm starting to hate insta kills because of how semi abundant they're, in the old days you had to work for the satisfaction of destroing your enemies, now you just have the game do it for you.

7:23 don't even get me started, sure it isn't as good because he actually cares to be fair. She has Vez'zan's Wrath in an ability, NO ability should have that kind of fire power, its boring because it heavily reduces the already lowered challenge the game has for not much effort put. it isn't fun to just have a win fight button as the difficulty that made the game worth playing against to overcome is just gone. reducing it to when to press it. Here's my own fix to it: Heart full of Resenment: Murglun Explodes around herself dealing physical damage around her, enhancing her passive and granting her Attack speed based on every target hit by it, this encourges actual use of her passive, effectives of atleast of 2 unique abilities and 1 thats kinda, while also adding a reason for you to use your brain. same also will now apply to her Eruption: Murglun Calls Magma to erupt from the earth, Dealing magical physical damage and Burning all targets hit, burn is enhanced with increased Damage over time by magma blood. Now I will also apply this bullCrap to Eiskalt and Beresad(though his atleast is actually kinda wants to engange with the game just its a worse version of Murglum) here's the change: First to Eiskalt's Passive: Icy Breath:Apply a freeze bar or enemies slowing them based on their amount, Upon reaching max they're Frozen for 1.5 seconds, can be executed upon reaching 20% health while frozen.(10 second cooldown per freeze) Glacial Storm: Summon a blizzard that deals magic damage and applies ice breath to all enemies in an area. the Blizzard can be increased in Range and Area per ability used while its on. Ice peaks: Summon's ice Spikes that deal 135 magic True damage, added 5% max health if the enemy is affected by 50% ice breath. Avalanche: creates a snowball that travels through the road for 5 seconds, dealing damage and applying ice breath. Damage and size is increased per enemy hit by it, until max where it can pick up targets with less than 300 HP. Now to Beresad: Avarice: Enemies killed by Beresad will have part of their Gold stored on him, granting him increased Attack speed and Movement speed. Upon reaching maximum Storage Beresad is willing to share 25% of the stored gold with you.(as he's kinda has more in the Dwarven doungen and I wished his character designed better revolved around the fact he's supposed to be fulled by insetse care for money itself, maybe via him wearning jewelery instead of just looking like another dragon who just green) Dragon Spawn: Spits a rock golem that stays for a short duration, it can collect gold on its own based on enemies that die around it, granting you an extra 25% of it. Oblirate: Same thing, just the explosion Marks enemies with Golden taste, increasing the amount of gold they give by 50%. Beresad's Soul of excitement: beresad's Gain's Thirst, increasing Damage, Attack speed and Movement speed and enhancing his attacks to deal additional Magic damage. If he has more than 25% of gold contained, tap him 3 times so he will use it to turn gold where all of his attacks increase the amount of gold an enemy gives and grant him medium armor. at the end if he doesn't have more than 25% gold contained after he'll take some of yours, if you lack it he will put you into his debt.(like he needs 150 coins, and you have 60 so he'll leave you in -90) Like how he is as a character he is a High risk high reward Creature. gold management would be his gameplay and that debt thing is actually really cool concept to not show who he is and more so make you play around him, he can earn you alot of money but just aswell can make you lose alot of it.(mainly through the ability, since there other ways to earn it, ontop of managing your towers yeah he's really intersting now)
