Kingdom Rush: Crisis - "Heroes" of the Villain's storyline

by Harkmen » Wed Nov 08, 2017 9:43 am

Hi all, and welcome to the posts of my ideas!

I have been a fan of Ironhide Studio's game since the first Kingdom Rush came out (including the new Iron Marines). When a fourth KR game was teased earlier this year, I heard from someone (or maybe it was multiple people) wondering if we would be playing as villains in the fourth game, and immediately I was inspired to create "Heroes" for the villain's side, which I thought was most appropriate to share with fellow fans of the KR series and getting feedback. This eventually culminated into an entire storyline featuring my personal depiction of Vez'nan's return, what I now call "Kingdom Rush: Crisis". Some of you may have seen my earlier ideas revolving around a villain campaign, including towers, units and the playable Villains themselves. As of right now for this post, I will be adding the Villains that I have finished reworking. The stats all assume each "Hero" is level 10, and those after "Stheno the Gorgon" were designed with the intention of being premium quality in mind.
Here goes nothing...

Zairr the Matriarch

Eclipse the Twilight Hunter
Since the failed attempt for vengeance led by Baj'nimen, the remaining Twilight Elves have all but scattered into hiding. But recently one such Elf began to make a name for herself: "Eclipse"--the alias of a highly skilled mercenary that has ventured around the planet hunting big game. Having long forgotten her real name, Eclipse's lie among her brethren slowly faded to the back of her memory as she grows more comfortable with her new life...and would have stayed that way if not for a chance encounter with Vez'nan with a big job offering in mind.

Pragmatist:
Eclipse throws a trap along the path that deals 13 / 26 / 39 damage to an enemy that walks over it, immobilizes it for 3 seconds, and places a curse that causes it to explode for 70 / 115 / 160 area damage once near other enemies. Also lets Eclipse set a trap when dodging.

Eclipse shoots a magical bolt that splits and ricochets of of up to 2 / 4 /6 nearby enemies, dealing 50 damage and inflicts a binding spell: if one affected enemy receives damage or status effect, all other affected enemies reeve the same. Lasts 4 / 5 / 6 seconds.

Releases ancient, dark magic in a large, targeted area that ensnares up to 3 / 5 / 7 enemies and deals 50 / 85 / 110 damage to them over 6 seconds. If any enemy has a status infliction caused by Eclipse when caught, the tendrils will deal triple damage.


Vez’nan the Conquerer
He has returned and with an even stronger desire to conquer all of Linirea! Prolonged exposure to Moloch’s realm has granted him new powers, as well as new jokes.

Soul Boost: Consumes all available souls to grant a flamethrower attack for 90 / 180 / 270 area burn damage in front of him. One use per soul.


Stahl the Dark Captain
Exiled from Linirea for his uncontrollable obsession for battle and disregarding the safety of civilians, this axe-wielding knight turned to Vez’nan’s offer for power that would not only make him stronger than any warrior, but a match for a whole army. In exchange, he agreed to help restore the Dark Knight Order, with him as its new leader.

Delivers 1 / 2 / 3 strikes to a single enemy, each dealing 85 damage.

*Stahl creates a shadow copy of his axe and throws both with each hand for Axe-arang that deals a total of 100 / 180 / 260 true damage, and half that damage to anything on their way back to him.
*Onslaught adds a fourth, devastating attack that deals 85 / 170 / 255 true area damage and creates a dark whirlwind that pushes all affected surviving enemies back along the path.
*When Thrill of the Fight is active, Stahl deals 50% more damage to enemies with more than 500 maximum HP.

This is awesome. I especially love the implication that the forces of darkness have become this tightly knit secretive society to avoid being wiped out by the good guys.

Maybe next time you can do enemies/bosses, towers, or levels? This idea is gallons of potential.

I think this is the first time someone has replied to one of my posts in the official forums since I joined...*sniff* I'm not crying, I swear....

But in all seriousness, thank you so much for your brief but positive input on my ideas, and don't worry: I've been brainstorming on towers and enemies since coming up with the concept. In fact, towers were already made in a separate post (although things have been heavily edited since). Link is here:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=26277&start=20

Feel free to vote upon which villain(s) you like the most as well. I'm always listening to suggestions.

Thank you very much once more!

My favorite "heroes" are vez'nan, the dark captain, and free the gliding goblin who throws explosives. (Did I just describe your character or the green goblin?) vez'nan is such a likable villain with his wit and powers, one of my favorite enemies from the original kingdom rush was the goblin zapper (probably had something to do with the shock of seeing the weakest foe be an actual threat) and the dark captain guy wanting to rebuild the dark guild really drives the point home that evil is almost extinct, and these guys and gals are here save the day by ruining it, if that makes sense.

I'm curios about the bosses. Are they original characters, or are they old allies who aren't really allies right now, like sir Gerald lightseeker?

Oh, wow, that sucks. I'm sorry the forums have been so inactive. There used to be more activity. If you want me to, then I could review your ideas for you and give you some balancing suggestions. :) I used to make a lot of fan fiction and ideas and review other memebers' ideas, but I've gotten out of that habit due to partly laziness and partly discouragement at the stagnant nature of the forums.

I really appreciate that, Ninja (and furthermore I have no idea how to highlight the comment you made to let people know I'm responding to it... :oops: ).

Honestly I'm just really happy the things I shared in these forums were interesting enough for someone to verbally react to. If you want, there is another recent idea I came up with in the Iron Marines section as well, the link being here:

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=26729

Feel free to take as much time to come up with suggestions or other comments. I'll be sure to look at them and take into account yours and anyone else's thoughts.

With regards to this particular post, any thoughts on the Villains themselves would really help, since working with ideas on my own only gets me so far. :lol:

There should be an icon shaped like quotation marks near the top right of his comment. Click those.

By the way, I left my thoughts on your towers in that thread you linked.

Thank you, both for the hint and your thoughts on the villain towers idea I made a while ago.

I have an idea on some of the bosses, and I'm hoping to make them as unique and original as possible, but here's one of them:

[+] SPOILER
Karhaz the Orc Chieftain, who refused to bow down and serve Vez'nan upon the latter's return to the Wastes (now occupied by goblinoids since his initial defeat), and calls upon orc champions every few seconds. Upon defeating him, he is subjected to torture (by listening to Vez'nan's evil bad jokes) and cast out of his tribe, the rest of which decide to side with Vez'nan after defeating Karhaz. Afterwards, he actually becomes a playable character in the Heroes storyline.

There should be an icon shaped like quotation marks near the top right of his comment. Click those.

By the way, I left my thoughts on your towers in that thread you linked.


Thank you, both for the hint and your thoughts on the villain towers idea I made a while ago.

I have an idea on some of the bosses, and I'm hoping to make them as unique and original as possible, but here's one of them:

[+] SPOILER
Karhaz the Orc Chieftain, who refused to bow down and serve Vez'nan upon the latter's return to the Wastes (now occupied by goblinoids since his initial defeat), and calls upon orc champions every few seconds. Upon defeating him, he is subjected to torture (by listening to Vez'nan's evil bad jokes) and cast out of his tribe, the rest of which decide to side with Vez'nan after defeating Karhaz. Afterwards, he actually becomes a playable character in the Heroes storyline.


Sounds pretty cool. I'd imagine in the iron and heroic challenge, you could see karhaz tied up with vez'nan (or a astral projection kind of thing) sitting next to him on a folding chair or something as he slings out jokes like this:

"What did the demon say to the wretch he was about to disintegrate? Hell-o!"

"How many linerian forces does it take to fix a lightbulb? Trick question:no matter how many they send their world shall still fall to the darkness!"

And so forth.

By the way, it was difficult narrowing down my favorite villains to three. You did good.
For the kingdom!

Thank you all for your votes on my Villains idea! It seems my take on a playable Vez'nan has been the most popular of the bunch, and considering how awesome a villain Vez'nan is, I'm glad the work was favorable to you guys. Outside of that, maybe I need to make the others more interesting? :)

That being said, I've just done a bit of reworking on Eclipse the Twilight Hunter to make her feel more like a Crowd-Control specialist like I intended her to be.

*Regular attack changed from constant "fast" attack rate to a 5-shot burst with a 2 second cooldown.
*Arcane Shot now changed to a chance-based ability that shoots a single projectile for true AOE damage
*Doom Mark --> "Pragmatist": sets up a trap every 6 seconds that damages and slows up to 3 enemies walking on them.
*Night Veil now automatically loads an Arcane Shot after a successful dodge.

I'd really appreciate anyone willing to go back to her profile and tell me what you think.

Also, do you guys think the other villains need some reworking? Do any feel too powerful/weak?

And finally....

HEROES FROM THE GOOD GUYS' SIDE COMING SOON!!!!

Man... I always thought that making even MORE interesting heroes for KR would be difficult, as there are already so many, and I've only made a handful... But nope! You really have a lot of neat ideas here! I don't really pay much mind to stats as I do how cool the hero is to me. As such, I think it'd be great if you included descriptions of what these heroes look like. I also don't know why I've been opposed to the idea of demon heroes... Bahl is pretty great. Perhaps it's 'cause there are so many demon enemies in the original KR? Dunno. Anywho, good job!

I'll be sure to include brief descriptions of what each villain looks like sometime (hopefully soon).

In the meantime, the characters from the Good Guys are up next!

Cool. Also, perhaps Zairr could simply be another one of the spider queens, but it doesn't exactly matter...

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long since the last time I updated anything on the forums. Spending too much time on the Discord channel... :oops:

But I haven't forgotten to update the fanfic project here, and now all of the playable villains have gone through a major overhaul in some shape or form to make the more interesting. I hope you all enjoy!
