Kingdom Rush 6 heroes

Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD has 12 heroes and you take 2 into a stage. On Steam each one unlocks at a star count; on iPhone and Android, 8 of them are sold instead. Here they are in the order Steam unlocks them.

The XP and star planner turns these star prices into a route: enter how many stars you have and it lists what unlocks next. Drakkan and Ashbite are listed with two prices because the published figures disagree.

Levelling them

Every hero has its own level and upgrade tree, separate from the global tower upgrades. 4 heroes have a Steam achievement for reaching level 10: Gerald (4.9% of players), Zefira (10.2% of players), Bolin (6.6% of players) and Connor (4.3% of players). Ironhide’s catch-up rule makes switching cheap: a hero behind your highest-level one earns double XP until it catches up.
