New players in Kingdom Rush often fail to complete level challenges due to incorrect defense tower choices, right? In fact, the best choice for new players is the Rocket Shooter. Here, I will explain the specific reasons why the Rocket Shooter is the top pick in Kingdom Rush 5.

The Rocket Shooter is highly recommended mainly because of its outstanding independent combat capabilities. It not only excels in ground combat but also shows no less capability in aerial combat. The Rocket Shooter is most adept at launching surprise attacks on enemies with advanced weapons when they are unprepared.

1. Sting Missile
The Sting Missile can reduce the missile cooldown time to 16 seconds. If an enemy's health is below 300, this skill can instantly kill them. Upgrading this skill to its maximum level allows it to instantly kill enemies with less than 900 health and further reduces the missile cooldown time to 12.8 seconds.

2. Phosphorus Bullet
The Phosphorus Bullet skill fires bullets that have been evilly tempered, each one reducing the enemy's armor by 1% and causing area damage. This skill can be upgraded, and once it reaches level 3, each attack will reduce the enemy's armor by 3%, increasing the area damage to between 21 and 27 points.

When using the Rocket Shooter, make sure to fully upgrade it first. A full upgrade costs just 680 gold coins. Since the Rocket Shooter performs well in both ground and air combat, if you want to switch combat modes, simply press the button in the lower left corner to land and fight. However, landing will affect its attributes, so it's not recommended unless absolutely necessary.
When using the Rocket Shooter, two main factors need to be considered: terrain and enemy attack routes. In narrow corridors, the Rocket Shooter should be used in combination with Arrow Towers and Magic Towers. In more open areas, Cannon Towers and Frost Towers should be used as support.
