What's your favorite hero?

[All talk and no fight]

My favorite hero right now is Saitam. His health isnt the greatest but he does have medium armor and 9 instant health regen a second. his damaging skills are pretty good, his palm stun can be decent, to "ha! no more magic for you!" and his boost of 65% damage to every enemy on screen for 5 seconds is amazing. When he uses it in the right situations.

1) Mirage 2) Alric 3)Boneheart

Mirage is the best ranged DPS for the most maps due to very good range, damage and mobility.
Alric is awesome for stalling dudes and can deal some damage. Most versatile hero.
Boneheart is OP, he's got damage, summons for stalling AND he can move anywhere. Ignores poison, can't be damaged by most enemies.

Dante. Stick him near soldiers and they are stronger, and near the tons of skeletons and they are stronger too. Plus the horsey dude gets stronger. And then he can shoot flying things too.

I like bruxa for some reason too, the noises are cool, and I like all the colors, things she shoots, and skull shots floating around her. Nivus has fun spells to watch.

Beat nearly all maps with Nivus (Campaign & Heroic), then switched to Boneheart.

[Ah312]

Bonehart because he helped me deafting umbra and Xyzzy and Also Dante and saitam when Dante dies his ghost boost troops and saitam when i want to go to a place at the level and the other cant go because there is water he rides on his cloud he also does area damage dont forget Sha'tra man i wish if you can equip two at the same time Dante and Sha'tra would be a good combo

One person that people seem to neglect using is Captain Blackthorne. Why though? One reason: 30% more gold. Put him at a choke point and the cash flow is HUGE compared to what you were getting.

This advances tower building and upgrading significantly.

This entire game can be beaten without any heroes on the hardest difficulty with proper towers, and since I can get a ton more gold for building/upgrading, I like him more

[Todd]

I do use Captain Blackthorne. And love all the money. I stick him where some soldiers are holding up lots of enemies, then rain of fire and collect loads of money. It's just I don't really like him all that much or his chants, I mean he's cool and useful, it's just I prefer others a lot more.

I honestly have a difficult time choosing my favorite. All the ones mentioned except for Dante I play a lot. Saitam as mentioned is FAST, and his damage is what I would characterize as "good", but when he procs his special and everything takes damage, not only does it look cool, but this makes end-game just so sweet because you have so many towers!

Blackthorne is fabulous. You can really experiment with a lot of different tower combinations you might not otherwise try. On the original final with the boss that respawns 4 times, I was at over 8K in coin going into the first round, giving me all sorts of options.

Mirage is just fun to watch. When her backstab goes for the kill on a big boss, I'm always happy, well except for those big lumbering dudes that explode when they die, because they typically take her with them. She is pure mayhem. I love how she can clear out a lane of small creeps in no time flat.

Nivus is another one where the animation is just top-notch. All his hits are so unique it's so easy to see when they proc. He is a LOT of fun to play. That teleportation ability can save you bacon!

Talking about taking out a lot of small creeps, Bruxa really excels at doing that and the animation of her floating skulls is something I've really grown to like. I might play her a tad more than the others.

I like Sha' Tra' on maps with a lot of brutes. I'll hang him back to charge up the abduction capability and then waltz him in. Really frustrating when he picks another abductee though!

Grawl is fun to just plant in a lane and let his pounding AOE just pummel everything around. Reminds me a bit of groot ;-)

Alric & Bonehart are OP IMO and kind of boring. They just make the game too easy. Now if they somehow managed to get us some endless in a future update, I'd be all over them because they dish out more damage than just about anything.

Alric on the flash version was really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome. He is such a good hero, outpacing alot of the other heroes, including the paid ones. The fact that 3 of his abilities are just stat boosts is fine, his other 2 are incredibly useful and on quick cooldowns, and you can never go wrong with them.

I think that beyond the comparison of their powers, the heroes of KRF are all very fun and charismatic. I don't like Saitam much but appart from him I find them all really cool.
I want a beat'em all with them ! Street Kingdom Rush.

My old time favorite that I played all the time from the app store was MIRAGE. Her ranged attacks and assassin skills are super fun. She is still one of my favorite but now that I am able to try all the other heros, DANTE is my new favorite with him blessing alies and his mixed combat. GRAWL is another I enjoy. Such a tank!

[bigdale]

Having used them all I find Sha'tra to be the most generally powerful because of the UFO capture move. Against lots of small enemies it is Bonehart. I think the highest overall potential character is Nivus but you have to micro constantly to get the full use of his teleport and it isn't relaxing.
