"Into the wild."
The Arch-Druid Henge is a level 4 Artillery Tower in Kingdom Rush: Origins, unlocked in stage 7, Rockhenge. Arch-Druids can store up their ammunition when idle and then release up to three rocks at once, like the Archmage Tower from Frontiers.
Description
Arch-Druids have total control over nature, commanding earth, beast and spirit alike.
Compared to the other level 4 tower, the Weirdwood, the Arch-Druid Henge attacks faster and it's upgrades give it superior crowd control. However, the damage is the same from the Menhir Circle, requiring some support when facing stronger enemies.

Tactics
A really great strategy involving Arch-Druid Henges is to pair them with Golden Longbows. A combination of Sylvan Curse and Hunter's Mark ability can severely wreck armies of even rather durable enemies, with a maximum of DOUBLE DAMAGE to ALL ENEMIES IN A GROUP. Runed Bears and Barracks allow for bigger crowds of enemies to suffer this type of massive damage.
