The Sunray Tower is a special tower only available in Level 9, the Stormcloud Temple. It utilizes up to 4 Sunray Sorcerers to fire a single, concentrated solar beam at any one enemy, ground or air alike. The beam can be activated by selecting the tower or pressing 4 on your keyboard (Flash only), then select the appropriate unit.
It has a similar function to the Shrine of Regnos introduced at a much later date in Kingdom Rush: Frontiers; however, the Sunray Tower deals single-target damage, while the Shrine of Regnos deals damage in an area.
The Sunray Tower was previously unavailable in the iOS, Android and Steam versions, and was seen destroyed on the map. It was later re-added to the game.
Overview[]
It is a tower that charges the sun rays via Sunray Sorcerers, and then retains that energy until it is needed to fire.
When used, it will instantly fire at a single enemy, dealing True damage (possibly magic on Flash). The damage depends on the number of Sunray Sorcerers present. Each sorcerer costs 100 Gold to recruit; and in addition to that, recruiting a Sorcerer will instantly recharge the tower. The tower cannot target empty spaces.
Stats[]
| Sorcerers | Damage | Cooldown |
| 1 | 75-125 | 19s (20s on Flash) |
| 2 | 125-175 | 16s (17s on Flash) |
| 3 | 175-225 | 13s (14s on Flash) |
| 4 | 225-275 | 10s (11s on Flash) |
Strategy[]
- The player should use the Sunray Tower shots only on big and/or problematic foes like Dark Slayers, Yetis, Rocket Riders and J.T, to make matters easier.
- The upgrades should be used wisely. A skilled player can upgrade the Sunray Tower immediately after using it, which recharges it instantly.
- One should get the tower into play quickly - even if only a single sorcerer is purchased, that's some extra firepower that will certainly come in handy.

Trivia[]
- The beam fired by the tower is identical to the Arcane Wizard's Death Ray, only yellow/orange rather than purple.
- The crystal on top of the tower is most likely the Solar Heat Quartz that was used long ago to stop The Winter Queen from taking over Linirea.
- This tower bears a slight resemblance to the Level 4 Blazing Gem, with a different color scheme and tower design.
- The tower's crystal also looks like an orange version of the Tear of Elynie; Vez'Nan and Lord Malagar's weapon of choice and the main focus of Kingdom Rush Origins.
