- This article is about the boss in Kingdom Rush. For the similarly named hero in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, see Oloch.
Moloch is the boss of the Burning Torment mini-campaign in Kingdom Rush. He is the leader of the demons in Pandaemonium and has managed to gain Vez'Nan's soul and keeps it in a cage next to his throne.
Overview[]
A feared and overconfident demon overlord, he eats hot coals for breakfast!
Moloch's modest health is balanced out by his dangerously fast movement speed. Unlike Vez'nan's soul drain attack which cannot kill Earth Elementals, Moloch's group instant kill has no restrictions. His path is very short, and combined with his above average speed and ability to quickly clear units designed to stall him, he can easily overtake an unprepared player.
Strategy[]
- His area instant kill has a 7 seconds cooldown. And he will use it only when there are 2 or more units near him. This can be used to the player's advantage and he can be blocked with a durable melee Hero like Gerald Lightseeker, Oni or Hacksaw (preferably Level 10) or an Earth Elemental. It is best to keep the Elemental unupgraded past level 1 and upgrade it when it's about to die, which will heal it completely.
- A barracks tower can be used to stall Moloch for a while. The soldiers should be sent against him and the tower should be upgraded when they die, which will spawn a new batch of them. One can repeat this process until Moloch kills the level 4 soldiers, then sell the tower and repeat the process.
- He walks very fast compared to other bosses like J.T., Vez'nan, The Juggernaut, etc., so stalling him is crucial. Adequate strategies for this are listed above.
