Orcs are the second enemy encountered in Kingdom Rush.

Overview[]

Tough savages with light armor and medium speed.

Orcs are essentially the players' introduction to physical armor. As such, they are still quite weak, and shouldn't be worried about if the player has at least one or two Mage Towers. Later on, they can be tackled by almost everything, although artillery or mages are still the most efficient options.

Strategy[]

  • An Adept Mage Tower works perfectly for these enemies. An Arcane Wizard can often kill Orcs in a single hit, and the Sorcerer Mage can lower the Orcs' armor for other towers to kill them.
  • A group of Archer Towers can work well, around four non-upgraded ones per two Orcs. Reinforcements work to stall them, in case the Archers aren't able to chip away fast enough. Although such a strategy can become very expensive and overwhelmed at later levels.
  • In later levels, once stronger Artillery towers are unlocked, you can use them to blast Orcs away with relative ease. The low armor does not offer much protection against the bombs, and the Goblins that follow can be crushed as well. Just make sure you have other towers to deal with the Gargoyles.
  • A Rangers Hideout can use Poison Arrows to deal True Damage to the orcs, and a level 3 Wrath of the Forest is a guaranteed kill, even on Veteran difficulty.
  • Orcs can kill low levels Barracks pretty easily, so be sure to support your Barracks with Artillery and Mage Towers.

Trivia[]

  • A total of 290 orcs appear throughout all of the levels in Kingdom Rush.
