Kingdom Rush 5 not only retains the essence of its predecessors but also innovates and upgrades in gameplay and storyline, adding different style maps, defense towers, and game easter eggs. Some players are confused about the upgrade point allocation order in Kingdom Rush 5. How to allocate points to better distribute game resources? Here, I have compiled some strategies for everyone.

Upgrade points can revolve around the tech tree, defense towers, and heroes. First is the tech tree point allocation order. It's recommended to prioritize skills related to defense towers in the tech tree, such as War Rations, which can increase the health of defense towers, ensuring they are less likely to be destroyed when under siege by enemies. Next, unlock Battle Fervor, which reduces the cooldown time of defense tower skills by 20%, ensuring that fully upgraded towers can frequently release skills later on. Branch skills like Reinforcement and Explosives are also critical, as they respectively enhance the combat capabilities of barracks, soldiers, and splash damage from cannons, achieving rapid lane clearing. Then, consider the hero-related branches, first boosting the hero's armor and health to enhance their early-game damage resistance. Finally, unlock the skill that summons Shadow Archers, who have high output and a wide range, helping to quickly accumulate resources.

Next are tips for upgrading defense towers. In the early stages, prioritize upgrading cost-effective defense towers, such as the Arrow Tower, whose first skill is cheap and very effective against air units once maxed out; the Goblin Crossbow's first skill has a control effect, significantly noticeable after being maxed. In the mid-game, focus on building Wizard Towers, such as the Necromancer Tower, by first unlocking the first skill at level 1, then mainly upgrading the second skill, as it deals true damage and can also serve as a barracks to block enemies. In the late game, choose based on enemy characteristics; for example, when facing many high-armor enemies, prioritize upgrading towers that deal true damage or have armor-piercing effects, like the Ghost Tower or the Wraith Spawner.

Then there are tips for upgrading heroes. In the early stages, first improve the hero's basic attack power and health, allowing them to survive and deal damage better in battles. Upgrade special skills based on the hero type and enemy characteristics, for instance, melee heroes should prioritize increasing attack speed, critical hit rate, or life steal; magic heroes, when facing high-health enemies, should first upgrade skills with percentage-based damage or control effects. If the hero has team support skills, like group healing or armor boosts, these can be appropriately upgraded during phases of high team combat pressure to enhance overall combat effectiveness.

This concludes the introduction to the upgrade point allocation order for Kingdom Rush 5. Some players make common mistakes in skill point allocation, such as not considering the level requirements, overdispersing points, or ignoring the characteristics of defense towers. I hope the above strategies will be helpful to everyone, so you can play the game more easily and enjoyably.
